I've got a light contour, vented rib barrel, but would like to go deer hunting this season. From what I've seen, I shouldn't have a problem shooting a slug as long as I use IC, understanding that I won't have the accuracy or range that I would with a rifled slug barrel. Since I'll be hunting in woods, that's probably not a big deal.

I also noticed that Remington rifled barrels (cantilever scope mount) say that the stock of LC models may not fit. Anybody have any experience with this? also, how much benefit would it be to get a bona-fide slug barrel? Is it worth the $260 new? Know where I could find one (new or used) any cheaper?

Thanks for your input.
