you can try it, if you do use Remington Rifle Slugs or something like it since it's a smoothbore. I love hunting with the shotgun. I love the rifled/cantilever barrel, if you can swing it, Dicks Sporting Goods has a great deal on a Mossberg 500 combo for $300 your choice of 12ga or 20ga, comes with 2 barrels: one is a rifled/cantilever (use sabot type slugs only) this will give much better accuracy then a smoothbore barrel and regular rifle slugs, the other barrel is 26" with choke tubes, use it for small game, turkey, etc, it also comes with a scope but to me this scope is useless
