Thanks for the link. I need to take a look at one of those SxS's. Looks to me like all of their models come with adjutable chokes.

If Geoff says they work, they work.

Re: Slugs - the individual gun dictates slug performance. Two problems - one, you really need a rear sight for hunting. The tendancy is to lift your face off the stock and throw the shot when you get excited. On a range, this does not show up. In the bushes, it does. Two, most SxS SGs tend not to have the barrels adjusted so that a slug from either barrel hits in the same place. My limited experiance indicates that one barrel will hit close to where the sight(s) point and the other barrel can be significantly off. You'll need to test your gun to see if this holds true.
