If you're looking for a 20ga slug gun, you could just use that for everything.
The last time I was at The Gun Stop, they had a Browning Gold, semi-auto, slug gun. The recoil would be way down because of the action. The gun was light, and fit me like a glove. It had a cantileverd barrel for a scope and swivels mounted. It was a matte finished wood stock as well, I know you like wood handles.
That was one hard gun to put down and I often wonder if its still there, but I know it isn't becaue they are so competetive on their prices.
Knowing you and what you like, I think you'd walk out the door with that gun. You could get a bird barrel and be good for anything from woodcock to black bear.
Tom-after the experience I had with the azzhole in the reloading department over there, I wouldn't buy it off them even if they were paying me to take it. I have a 20 ga. Mossberg for upland game, so that's covered. I want a dedicated slug gun, and I've heard a lot of good things on the 220, so that's the way I'm leaning.
