Follow-up about slugs...

The Winchester 1400 barrel-to-receiver mating apparently prevented the barrel moving between shots, so the scope mounted on the receiver worked and maintained "zero" shot-to-shot.

I later bought a Reminton 870 and again I mounted the scope on the receiver.

Big no-no.

That would not maintain zero...no matter what.

However, using the open sights mounted on the slug barrel for this gun worked fine.

Although I had made good use of the scoped Winchester making some long shots in the area I hunted, with successful long shots, I moved over to using just the open sights on the shorter slug barrel and the Remington.
