I know rifled barrels do better with sabot's, but sabots are $$$$ compared to rifled slugs. Assuming both remington RS 20 " barrels, which is the better value. I.e. in the long run which give's you more bang for the buck (Pun intended

)

This gun will never be used more that 100yds, and probably for deer. and hogs, but you never know I might try moose or elk one day

Yes gent's it's a practicallity question
