Can you shoot a smooth bore slug through a rifled barrel?
Shooting rifled slugs is the ONLY way to shoot thru a smoothbore for deer. If you shoot sabot slugs thru a smoothbore, it will not spin and therefore not be accurate. For accuracy, the slug must spin out of the barrel. Either shoot a rifled slug thru a smooth barrel, or shoot a saboted slug thru a rifled barrel.

A smoothbore is cheaper and works just as well when using regular shot.

If you can afford it and plan to be using slugs the rifled barrel can be well worth it and gives you much more versitility.
