I agree with those posters who recommend the LimbSaver recoil pads and the 3x9 Nikon SlugHunter scope with the BDC reticule but my Ithaca Deerslayer III shoots every bit as good as the H&R Ultra Slug does. Granted, it costs $1,100.00 where the Ultra Slug cost $235.00 but I have the back-up shots if needed and that makes the extra bucks seem worth it to me. I guess it depends on your own comfort zone and mine is with the extra shot availability. If the H&R Ultra Slug wasn't a single shot, I probably would have bought one rather than my Deerslayer III.
