Hi,
My wife has been using a 30 year old hand me down 12 gauge for deer season for years in Massachusetts. She would like to upgrade to a newer slug gun but were not sure what to look at for her. She is ~5'7" with a medium build. A couple of questions/considerations we'd love your opinion on.
1) 12 or 20 gauge - does it matter for deer in Mass?
2) She wants a shotgun that we can put a low powered scope on
3) Any brand should we steer towards and away from?
4) Any specific models you'd recommend?
5) It should be on the lighter side with a shorter stock
Were looking in the $500-1k price range for Gun and Scope.
Thanks so much for your help!
