I thought slug barrels were rifled for better accuracy?

Maybe because it's got sights?

rifled slug barrels are for sabot slugs, smoothbore barrels are for rifled slugs.  clear as mud eh?

if i was buying a dedicated slug barrel, i'd probably opt for the rifled kind for a little longer range.  sabot slugs are a lot more expensive, though.

I hunt the Islands and shots are less that 100 yards. Smooth bore works great with rifled slugs and shoot true for me. Plus I like to save money on ammo.

I have only been shooting rifled slugs through my rifled slug barrel.  Shoot pretty damn accurate despite it made for sabot slugs.  Sabots were close to $15 per box of 5 shells.

have you noticed any issues with fouling when shooting rifled slugs through a rifled barrel?

Thanks for the info. I've been considering a slug barrel for my mossberg 835.
