They are not your Grampa's bolt action shotgun, that's for sure. Browning and Savage make factory versions, Tar Heel makes a semi-custom version, and many custom slug guns are being made by rifle smiths. They are not your average "pumpkin ball" shooter. Basically, they are a hunting rifle that meets the "shotgun only" rule in many states. Many of those rifled slug guns will shoot MOA or close to, so they are no slouches, and very serious 200-250 yds deer rifles. In fact, there are benchrest matches for slug guns, and the winning groups are quite impressive.
