I tried a rifled choke tube and some Hydra Shok sabot slugs and got pretty poor performance compared to a friend with a rifled barrel. I agree they are no substitute for a rifled barrel. I also fired a batch of Federal Tru Ball slugs and it was certainly reliable enough to hit a man sized target (we were using cardboard covered with a t shirt) at 100 yards. Needed a bit of hold over, though. The groups were definately limited by the sights.
