I found a pretty good deal on a used 12ga Winchester 1300 with a smoothbore slug barrel similar to the online picture below. The one I found doesn't come with a vent rib barrel. I am looking to use this for deer hunting and wanted to know what accuracy folks have gotten with rifled slugs. I realize that I will be shooting rifled slugs and not sabots. This gun doesn't have a rifled barrel, so I wouldn't be using sabot slugs. I'm primarily going to use this for deer with open sights. Since it is smoothbore and a relatively short barrel, it would also double as a HD gun with buckshot.
I know at least some of you guys have experience shooting rifled slugs from smoothbore barrels, so I wanted to tap your experience.
I appologize if this is redundant. I tried searching the forums, but either I got zero results or I got a ton of stuff not related.
Here is a picture I found online of the same model I found (this isn't a picture of the gun if found).
