I am aware of rifled barrels, I know they are better, this is not the question.

Looking for info/experience with rifled chokes. I just bought my first shotgun, Win SXP 3" with 28" ribbed barrel. I like the idea of being able to switch chokes on the fly, as I can simply carry them around during my hunt.

How much improvement am I getting over smooth when shooting slugs? I am guessing it would simply extend the usable accuracy by a certain amount of distance. It looks like foster out of a smooth bore would give reasonable accuracy for deer sized game up to about 80 yards, and a rifled barreled sabot would extend that to 150-200 yards. I'm guessing a rifled choke would fall somehwere in the middle?

Also where can i buy these in Canada? I can find various chokes but still looking for a rifled choke compatible with Winchester. Then which brand is good?

Thanks
 
Ok, I found a place called Al's Corner Store which carries Carlson chokes. They are located in Ontario but I don't see them listed here as a CGN supporter?
 
I don't have any experience with rifled chokes but my 870 for some reason prefers shooting Score slugs through a smooth bore with an IC choke then a full rifled barrel. I would have never believed it would be more accurate out of the smooth barrel then the full rifled but it is!
I find slugs and shotguns are a trial an error deal. What one gun likes, another may hate.
