not sure i would even consider dedicated slug gun. i can extend hunting range by at least 50m by using modern muzzleloader. just looked over goofy w-german jps 12x12/7.62x63 which could add even more meters to max range, but it could not be used in shotgun only zone and there goes it's usefulness. not having scope mount is would be good mixed bag piece in rifle zone. the marking made is western germany was kinda nostalgic. too bad it was expensive and pathetically ugly.
