Can you use black powder during the shotgun season? Because if you can, and are willing to put up with hassel, I think you'll be happier. Plus you can hunt in the blackpowder season as well. I've never owned one, but the new inline stainless synthetics can be taken down and just put under hot water in the tub for the initial clean. They are also under 2 moa at 100 yds. Yes, its a single shot, but when was the last time you shot twice at a deer? I'm not reccomending one, but I would give them a look before dropping the green on an expensive dedicated slug gun.
