hey guys i dont know much at all about slugs, etc. I have a 20gauge turkey barrel on my encore and i want to shoot some slugs thru it so i got some questions. The barrel has a screw in choke, and the manual says dont shoot the gun without the choke in--can i shoot a slug thru that choke too? Also ive read how accurate some of these new slugs are, are they accurate out of a regular smooth bore barrel? which ones do you recommend?
thanks
thanks

i appreciate yalls input. Some of you who recommended i get a rifled barrel must not have read my original post......i wanted a do it all barrel where i could shoot whatever i came upon, and from ive read you cant really shoot shot thru a rifled barrel.

Ive shot buckshot through a rifled barrel , didnt hurt the barrel but the pattern was pretty poor. IMO a 26-28"MOD is a do it all shotgun. personally I think rifled barrles and sabots are overrated, and a wasteof $$$, a SG is not a rifle and never will be, its a short range weapon, my MOD ithaca throws a slug into a 8" paper plate at 50 yds off hand no problem, if you need to shoot farther Id say get a muzzleloader. JMHO
