You'd of been just as shocked as me. LOL. But you'll be there before long. Just been hectic between side work and getting the land ready.

I think the 870 compact is fairly accurate with cheap slugs.
Can hit a milk jug at 20 or so yards.

Shot a deer few years ago with old mossberg 500 pump w/28 inch barrel with regular slugs. Right in front shoulders drt. I would definetly pattern at different yardage to see what is up. Follow forward while pulling trigger to reduce pull.

I like this thread. I have an 12 GA 870 Express Pump that I've been considering getting a slug barrel for, to use as a brush gun when I hunt some thicker places with close range shots. Would be cheaper than buying a lever gun for sure.

haleyville al,
I have a youth 870 20ga. It shots the pumpkin balls good. I use to carry it all the time.

Federal Truball slugs. They really improved the foster slug out of a smooth barrel. They are really accurate in my guns out to 100 yds.

You smooth bore shooters, do you have a barrel with rifle sights or just the bead? On my 870 pump I only have the 28" vent rib with the bead sight. Just curious.

My Ithaca model 37 is a smooth bore with rifle sights. Shoot rifled slugs.

I purchased a 20" cantilever smooth bore barrel for my Stoeger 2000 and have a Bushnell red dot on it. Modified choke. Accurate at 100 yards with the cheap Winchester 2 3/4" Rifled Slugs . Love the set up.

If you have a Stoeger P350 they have the same barrel I got for $49.99 too. They are sold out for the M2000 at that price. https://www.midwestgunworks.com/ssearch.html?Search=stoeger+20%22+barrel

If a barrel takes chokes are you unable to shoot slugs?

I use a rem 870 magnum smooth bore with slugs and it groups fine out to 75 yards. Havent gotten to check it at 100yds. Gonna see how far out it will reach next time. I used rifled winchester slugs i think....its been a few years ago but im almost positive thats what they were. Goodman hunter...i read about all that info years ago on my research. Dang i need to make sure again but im pretty sure you can shoot rifled slugs or smooth slugs out of smooth bored barrels with chokes. Id be afraid to try it on a full choke but think u can do it on modified and so on. I want to say u can shootem with full xhokes but id have to research again to be certain. Matter of fact my 12ga rem mag has a modified choke in it. Thats the one i was shooting groups consistently at 75 yards with a smooth bore and rifled slug. Killed some hogs at 50 yds no problem.
