I've been hunting NY state for the past 25 years. My first non rifled slug gun was a High Standard 12 guage. If you look around, you can find one fairly cheap. They have the barrels screwed into the reciever like a rifle. I had my barrel cut to 22" and recrowned drilled and tapped for a scope. I could hold a 4" group, with remington sluggers. When the rifled barrels and saboted ammo came out, I was the first in our party to purchase a Browning A-Bolt slug gun, and with lightfield hybreds, 150 yd group is about 4" I gained an extra very accurat 50 yds. I'd go rifled, even if I shot iron sights.
