Smooth vs rifled barrel for slugs
I have a smooth barrel that I shoot slugs out of for my 870 and can put a nice group in paper plates at around 50-75 yds w/out a scope. I have been told that a rifled barrel with a scope will shoot twice as long and accurate. My question is what is a long and safe shot with that set-up?thanks-

Put a rifled slug barrel on that beast with a scope and it's a killing MACHINE out to 100-125 yards! Load it with Ligthfield slugs and you will smile at the results you get...I've got 2 setups like that for my boys. 1 word describes them....DEADLY!
