What is available in a decent but not outlandish priced 12 Ga Pump shotgun with a rifles slug barrel. I am no expert on shotguns. I have a Browning BPS stalker field gun but I have not seen a rifles slug barrel for it.
I would get a barrel for your BPS, they are available from Browing and aftermarket sources. They have a better twist rate than most other pump slug guns anyway.

Thanks guys I will check out the After market barrel. If they are to high I will check out the Mossberg and Remington. It's not something I will use a lot but I want it for camping Bear defense in places where Handguns are not legal or not worth the legal hassel.
I ran into a absolutely pristine 870 wingmaster with the 18 1/2 inch smoothbore slug barrel for 275 at my local dealer. I can't imagine anything better for home intrusion prevention purposes.

Sounds like its time to get a Marlin 45/70 guide gun!
I like my .444 Marlin for that, but I heard the 45/70 is better for hand loaders. Me, I don't hand load. If I'm in a face to face Bear type situation, 12 ga. 3" MAG slug is my first choice all day.
I have a new Marlin Cowboy but thats got a lot of barrel for close quarters. I might try the three ball Dixie slugs if I stick to a non rifles barrel but will shoot the Terminator if I get a rifles barrel. My BPS is the Stalker with the 24 inch field barrel. I have a extra full Turkey chock for it as well.
Are their any heavy slugs designed for smooth bores. If so, what choke works best as a rule?

as a rule for me undersized slugs fly a little better with a bit of a choke, but what you are asking for is Bear Defense, and that would be the "heaviest slug" I could get. Check out Deltaforce.com's slug lineup for that.
