this choke is twisted on from the out side of the barrel

I wouldn't.
As a rule, I tend to pull my choke off when I shoot deer slug. But I have a dedicated barrel I use for slugs to begin with.
Talk it over with the pros at your local gun shop. Preferably with someone who knows your specific model shotgun. Don't guess or experiment with your life or your firearm.

NO... As a Gunsmith,DO NOT fire rifled slugs from a 410 gauge shotgun with a turn type choke mounted on the end of your barrel You are asking for trouble. I have had many customers over the years that literally shot the chokes clean off of the ends of their shotgun barrels shooting rifled slugs.(Mostly Mossberg Bolt Actions) Even a 410 gauge with a regular plain full choke barrel without an adjustable turn style choke you could still bulge the barrel with slugs. Its just not worth ruining a good gun or getting injured.

Can you physically do it? Yes. Can you legally do it? Not in this State. New York requires that a shotgun be at least 20 gauge for big game hunting. A .410 slug is definitely anemic.
Check your State rules for legal weapons. The slug will not hurt a quality choke. I think I had one of the model you are talking about once. Firing it with the choke collet off will ruin the inner choke parts.

i have never been a great fan of the Ruger 77 - I prefer the trigger, bolt, and safety of the Remington 700 first, with the Savage 110 a close second, followed by the Winchester 70. The Rem700 just fits me the best, especially the ADL/BDL stock with the Monte-Carlo and cheekpiece. I have no liking for skinny stocks on any rifle, and actually prefer the Winchester XTR in magnum calibres for its big fat heavy stock which does wonders in taming the .338 and larger bores. For the .308, however, this may be a bit much. Accuracy best-to-least: Remington, Savage, Browning, Winchester, Ruger. The Browning certainly has looks on its side, but the wood seems rather light-weight, not to say flimsy, and this affects the overall feel of the rifle. With the Remington, everything just feels right. But that's just me.

It wont hurt it the first time, but eventually, you will hurt your barrel. Slugs sre shot thorugh improved cylinder and modified chokes. Dont shoot a slug or shot without a choke, it ruins the grooves the chokes go into, and then you cannot put a choke back in it.

With your current configuration you are asking for trouble. In the fantasy world though, wouldn't it be cool if you could load or buy Sabot slugs for a .410?
While not perfect the plastic casing would reduce or maybe even eliminate damage to the barrel.
What do you think guys?

Even if you could get that to work out, You would think it would be ilegal to hunt deer with a .410. Most states have a law that it must be 20 gauge or larger

No. You only fire slugs thru modified or improved chokes. You can and will damage your gun otherwise. Most slug boxes carry that warning on them, and the owners manuals of shotguns all say the same thing.

.410 is too small to shoot deer with, ,you can't shoot slugs through your choke,
