70 yards is too far for a smooth bore w/rifled slug.. it won't hold that kind of accuracy reliably.
When Murdy mention a cantilevered barrel, I think he meant a cantilevered scope mount where the weaver rail is bonded to the barrel itself, not the gun. This is good advice as you won't have to re-zero the scope if you change barrels since scope and barrel are married.
