Fully rifled bore with rifled slug?

Ive never tried it and I have seen the rifled slug boxes with which state you can. But if you use a higher quality sabot slug you will probably get much better results, get sighted in quicker.
You may need to try a couple different brands to see what the gun likes.
They all kick like mules, maybe an upgraded recoil pad, limbsavers pretty good, at the range you'll notice it for sure.
Dont think the foestock should run the barrel but I dont own a Bennilli

I know a few shooters that use the rifled Foster slug outta thier fully rifled bbl`s, they may work well but you`ll get a heckuva lot of leading which can be a pain in the a$$ to clean. IMHO stick with saboted slugs not only will you achieve better accuracy but longer range as well. For the recoil factor, try a Limbsaver recoil pad, you`ll be amazed 
For the wear on the finish you can either live with it as I and many have done or use an emery of file to take down the thickness of the forestock,
Good luck

Yup!
this happens all the time rifeled slugs go in smoth barrells. sabot slugs go in rifeled barrels it is not rocket science .the amount of lead build up in the barrel from rifeled slugs would make for very poor accuracy and a lot of recoil .and cleaning the rifeling would be a nightmare .
yeah just thought id check .. i always wondered about rifled slugs in a rifled barrel.. first thing that came to mind is " what if the rifling is a different twist.. and what if the rifling on the slug goes the other way to the barrell.. that could get messy "

The rifling on rifled slugs really are`nt designed to cause spin, they offer some slight stablization but their chief design is to allow the lead slug to conform to the choke allowing it to squeeze thru any choke, I/C being the better. This a common misconception with rifled slugs. The individual grooves or lands on the slug are basically a stand-off which will flatten out when exiting the muzzle. The ``rifled slug`` name was probably given because they do look like rifling.
