Thanks for clearing that up.

I still consider getting another barrel though, as I wouldn't feel comfortable hunting boar with the 26 inch wented rib barrel, even if slugs through it would work fine, because of the lack of sights.

So, the barrels I'm drawn between is either
this 20" rifled barrel, with rifle sights, or this smoothboore 20" inch barrel with one improved cyllinder choke, and one rifled choke.

The question is: How much accuracy will I give up by choosing the 20" smoothbore barrel(with rifle sights) and a rifled choke, compared to the 20" rifled barrel(also with rifle sights)?

Do rifled chokes really work, and if so, what kind of slugs should I use with them?
