I shoot Breneke rifled slugs out of my regular 28" shotgun barrel. Dead on accurate at 100 yds. Use you regular barrel and these slugs and it'll cost you about $10

You say you are going to be hunting open land, so go ahead and get a rifle. Check around for prices, a couple of weeks ago I could have bought a brand new .270 Vangard at Wal Mart for $250. I think you will get a lot more use out of a rifle.

I'd get the rifle --- if it's as open as you make it sound, I think you'd be disappointed if big daddy strolled out at 250 yards and all you had was a shotgun.
