We have a lot of shotgun only country here in WI. Can't hunt with a rifle in most of the southern part of the state.

I'd say accuracy is closer to 200yrds if you have a rifled barrel and scope. I just got my first buck last November with my Remington 11-87 by the way!

Technically a slug barrel is just a barrel of a certain length (18 inches maybe?) Most of us up here use rifled barrels.
