Well I went to Accuracy Plus yesterday and my friend picked up a used Excalibur Paradox. We came back to my house and sighted it in for him, and shot my Phoenix along with him. Man is that Paradox ever powerfull! I was so mad when I walked into the store and seen the Paradox. I wish I had the money, I would have bought it for myself right then and there. I want one soo bad!
I asked them how much a slug shotgun would run me and Jeff told me it would cost me around $400 for a Remington. Less for a good used one.
I have a question though. With a rifled barrel of a slug gun, can you still use shot shells?
I know this isn't crossbow related but...

Remington 710
Tye:
I zeroed one for a friend this summer, this is probably one of the best out of the box rifles I had in my hands in a long time. Was skeptical at first, but after shooting it Tye, you won't find a more accurate rifle out of the box, bar none. This was in .270 cal. I zero around 75-90 rifles each fall before the season starts for customers.

Since we are all putting in our 2 cents worth I'll add mine. Tye start saving your money. With alot of things you get what you pay for. I love the Browning BAR with BOSS system. Probably twice what you are looking to pay, but I believe worth it. It took me about two years to come up with the dough to get mine when I wasn't much older than you. As far as accuracy goes I'll put my BAR up against most any bolt action. And being a very reliable semi auto, a great brush gun. Whith what game you are talking about hunting the smallest caliber I would go would be the 30-06. With a wide variety of ammo to choose from you can find a load to meet whatever need. I use mine from deer to elk and love it.
Why ride when you can walk!
As long as you never hunt where the game eats back, push feed is ok. I think I even own one(somewhere). If you ever want to hunt where they eat back I suggest you own only a controlled feed, aka claw extractor Mauser type action. Get a 30-06 use Woodleigh 180 grain bullets and kill 99% percent of the game that walks the earth with no fear. I live but a few miles from a Glacier and we have a lot of grizzles here and I would not carry anything that does not insure positive feed and extraction.
