The O/U is not considered the best platform to shoot slugs from. Typically the sights aren't very precise, and you may find the O/U shoots one barrel to one point of aim, the other barrel to another.
Now, inside 50 yards, it might not make much difference. A well set up shotgun, single barrel, with a rifled barrel and good sights, should shoot slugs with sufficient accuracy to be a 100 yard + gun- likely to 150 yards. A muzzleloader with decent sights should also be effective to 150 yards. Personally, I would prefer either a muzzleloader or a pump or auto shotgun set up for slugs, to an O/U shotgun for game hunting. I love O/U's, but, IMO, they are bird guns, not deer guns.

I would have agree with both fabs and jack if what you have is what you have like most of us and dont have the money or want to get anther gun i would go with the 50 you could get better range.
I would look at a yoused 870 or a mossburg slug gun you cant go wrong with ether.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Jack's comments make perfect sense. I have been used to only shooting slugs the lower (under) barrel from my gun, and it took me a while to get it sighted in good (using only the bead sight). I guess I will put some money aside to get a single-barrel gun (perhaps an auto-loader) to use with slugs. Or, maybe I'll look into getting a muzzleloader. Decisions, decisions.
