When you are standing at the edge of a wide field and suddenly the buck of a lifetime appears--but he's a long way away--you'll be happy that the Deerslayer III is your slug gun of choice. Called a "laser beam" by one prominent gun writer, the DSIII is built upon the classic Model 37 action and uses a fluted heavy-walled rifled barrel to produce its impressive results. It's rifled 1:28, so many brands of slugs perform well through the DSIII. The gun is available in 12 gauge and 20 gauge.
