OK guys. Time to put my ignorance on display.
(According to the wife, I get a lot of practice at that.)
I don't do much shotgun shooting. Occasional trap at a local club, but that's about it. Mostly I wind up shooting my WW II C&R collection.
I have a 12 Ga. Browning BPS pump gun and a 12 Ga. SxS for fun (if I ever get into Cowboy Action Shooting).
Do I really need a rifled barrel to shoot slugs or just a specific specialized type of slug for a smoothbore? (Hard to find a rifled barrel and $$$ for the Browning anyway)
If you can use a smoothbore, what do you do about sights if you use it to go after deer or other game?
Thanks for any replies.
