Shotguns are smooth bored firearms, for the most part. Rifled slug barrels are available. For most of them the answer is no as they are scatter guns. meaning they are meant to hit a large area at short range. They have no real use for accuracy due to the scatter and it would be both pointless and impossible to cause the shotgun pellets to rotate.

What is the difference between smoothbore and rifled shotgun barrels?
A smoothbore is cheaper and works just as well when using regular shot. A rifled shotgun barrel only helps if you are going to be firing slugs, but if you are it improves performance considerably, giving the slug near-rifle accuracy. If you can afford it and plan to be using slugs the rifled barrel can be well worth it and gives you much more versitility.

Will sabot slugs shoot through a smooth bore barrel?
Yes. That's the only type of shotgun you should fire a sabot slug from. Rifled shotguns are intended for rifled slugs only. Actually, the opposite is true. Rifled slugs are preferred for smooth barreled shotguns. The 'rifling' on the slug is actually just fins that permit the slug to squeeze through the choke on the shotgun barrel. Sabot slugs are intended for rifled barrels, as they will give better accuracy. Some sabots may be used in smooth barrels, but you are paying more for sabots and not getting the accuracy you would get by using a sabot in a rifled barrel.
What shells do you use in a rifled 12ga barrel?
