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.
probably not, historicly shotguns are smoothbore if you shoot a slug, THAT would be rifled.
A rifle is a long gun with a rifled barrel designed for accuracy at long distances, while a shotgun is a long gun with a smoothbore barrel designed for shooting multiple projectiles at close range.
Yes, you can shoot slugs out of a Rossi SA 20 gauge shotgun that has a 3-inch chamber. However, it's important to ensure that the shotgun is smoothbore, as slugs are typically designed for smoothbore barrels. Additionally, always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines and check local regulations before using slugs in any shotgun.
A shotgun is an example of a smoothbore. The inside of the barrel has no grooves cut into it, as a rifle would have.
No, a Paragon shotgun does not have a twist barrel. Shotguns typically use smoothbore barrels to allow for the effective spread of shot, while twist barrels are more commonly associated with rifled firearms designed for accuracy with single projectiles. The Paragon shotgun is designed for traditional shotgun use, focusing on shot dispersal rather than the spin imparted by a twist barrel.
Yes, a 20 gauge shotgun can shoot slugs accurately from a smoothbore barrel, although the accuracy may not be as high as when using a rifled barrel. Smoothbore barrels are designed primarily for shot, but many smoothbore shotguns can still effectively fire slugs at moderate distances. The key to achieving better accuracy is ensuring the slug is properly sized for the shotgun and using a suitable sighting system. For optimal performance, it's often recommended to use a rifled slug designed for smoothbore shotguns.

Well there is no Remington Model 12 shotgun, a model 12 is a 22 lr, they did make a smoothbore but it would have said so. A smoothbore model 12 is rare and valuable but I doubt that's what you have if it doesn't say smoothbore it's probably shot out.
Yes. Rifled slugs are intended for smoothbore barrels (abot slugs aer for RIFLED barrels). Best accuracy with rifled slugs is USUALLY a modified choke, but can be safely fired thru any choke less than EXTRA full choke.

Yes. Exercise caution. Do not attempt with a full choke.
Focus on the target, ignore the barrels.
