Ok, so I spent some time in local gun shops. I saw ALL types of guns. Now, while I don't know if I want a shotgun or a muzzleloader, I did find something else ot confuse me.
I know what smooth bore or rifled mean and does. But my question is while it makes a difference, is a rifled barrel essential? Hunters have used smooth bores with slugs for years. And I am sure with great success. Also, with a choke, a rifled slug might help some.
My main question is if for starting out, I would be ok without a rifled barrel (that costs like $150+). With a scope and a nice slug, I should still be good for 75yrds+ with some practice, 75yrds or more is doable. Just looking for some real insight as to IF I "have to" get a rather expensive rifled barrel to start out.
