RE: Slugs
Goose,
While I have rifled cantilever barrels for both my Benelli Nova and my Son's 870 20ga because I bought them as combos, if I were in your position, I would personally just go buy an Ultra Slug Hunter and put on a scope of choice. They are fantastic slug guns, close to the same price as a quality rifled cantilever slug barrel, and...you'd have another gun.
