I have a Remington 870 Express shotgun, and I was just wondering if the stock smooth bore barrel would with a Improved Cylinder choke tube would fire rifled slugs. Besides the Improved Cylinder choke, I also have the stock Modified choke tube.

I just purchased a Remington 870 Express. I won’t use it very much, so I only want to keep a single type of ammunition. I’ll mainly have the gun for home defense, but maybe occasionally use it for pheasant hunting or shooting clays. What is the most economical size/type of shot for 2 3/4" shells, which would be a fair compromise for all of my purposes?
Oh…it’s a 12 gauge in case you wondered.
I got a remington 870 express magnum shotgun with the shorter barrel on it for deer hunting. How do I determine if it is rifled or not? Are they usually rifled. I opened chamber and looked down barrel and it looks pretty smooth but I am not sure.
Tell me if I am correct. If gun is rifled then you want sabot slugs.
If gun is smooth bore than you want rifled slugs.
thanks for helping me out folks.
