just got home from the gun store. just bought a 20' smooth bore bbl for my 870 w rifle sights. i've got my tikka 270..but i hate banging it off trees when driving swamp and bush for deer. bbl came with a rifled and imp cyc chokes.
naturally went looking for sabot slugs for the rifled choke. got talked out of it , the guys there said to forget the rifled choke and use the imp cyc.....that they get better reviews of accuracy from the guys using rifled slugs through their smmoth bores?????

What do you guys think????

My guess that the rifled choke would make a rifled slug less accurate. The rifled slug is spinning down the smooth barrel and hits the rifled choke to change the spin on the slug quickly.

i agree. but the question is which is better.......rifled slug in a smooth bore or a sabot slug through a rifled choke
 
I have a Browning BPS Game gun with two tubes
1. 5 inch rifled tube
2. 2 inch cylinder tube

My experience is that the sabots are more accurate and have a flatter trajectory.

(I was using Winchester BRI sabots vs. plain old rifled slugs)
