Cantilevers suck. Usually too high even when using a high comb stock.
Prefer a dedicated slug gun and drill and tapped receiver.
Killed a fair amount of deer w pump shotguns.
Tested ammo, cleaning intervals, reqd foulers, chokes and rifled bbls.
Worst rig ever was a cantilever 835.
Drilled and tapped 870 w rifled bore for the win
Alloy receiver Mossbergs have a thick wrist. IMHO they suck for wing shooting. Could be tolerable as a rifle.
Buy even then I think a Rem feels better.
The only cantilever setup I've ever had is this little Mossberg. It seems to work just fine for me. My old 870 that my son ended up with is a smoothbore slug barrel. I had the barrel permanently mated to the frame and a Leupie base and rings installed. It's scary accurate out to 100 yards with simple old Foster style rifled slugs. Easily a 1" gun at that range, but man, that thing beats the crap out of you to shoot it any ammount.
