I am not, and never ahve been into shotguns very much.
About all I know is I use #6 shot to hit a rabbit on the ru, as I could never hit him running with a .22.
Yes, I have a few, and I shoot them, ocassionaly.
But I have a question,
I came across this beautiful Marlin 12ga bolt action at a LGS.
Like new , beautiful wood , with beautiful checkering,
but... It has a rifled barrel.
The guy said it is great for certain type slugs , accurate at 100 yards.
Is it?
Certain type?
Now ....how does that rifling affect shot shell pellets?
I can also shoot slugs with my smooth bore guns.
If this thing can throw a huge slug accurately at 100 yds, then I might be interested,
Because my 45-70 Govt rifle throws a fairly big piece of lead accurate at 100yds, and cost 3-4 times as much as that shotgun.
Anybody help me out ?

btw, I think its a Marlin 512 Slugmaster.
