I wanted a Browning A-bolt for shooting sabot slugs, but I got tired of looking for one. I ended up with a Mossberg 695. It's a good gun but not as nice as the A-Bolt. If you want a gun that is versatile for slugs and bird shot the Betetta ES100/Pintail has been on special across the country. It's a combo deal that sells for around $500.00 and has a 24" rifled barrel and a 28" VR barrel. If you already have a shotgun with screw in choke tubes. There are rifled choke tubes that work well for sabots that sell for around $50.00.
