So using rifled slugs wont damage a smooth bore barrel? Im kind of short on money so I cant really invest too much in fancier optics and nice barrels but if the opportunity were to arise, what would be your preferred brand of barrel? As far as optics go I know leupold is a great brand, what are some other really good brands? The gun does have a vent rib so if I choose a different site that isnt a scope what would be a good site? I plan on shooting within 75 yards. Thank you so much for all of the wonderful advice.
