Yea, it will work. If you insist on using that barrel, why not chip in and get a screw in rifled choke? If you plan on using it alot, I would definately get a cantilever scoped rifled barrel. I got tired of passing up 80 yard shots shooting sluggers with a big ole bead from my shotgun barrel. Only took me two seasons when moving to MD to change over. That bead will cover up the whole vitals of a deer at 50 yards. Really knocks the confidence down.
