Mossybergs
YG..
the easiest thing to do is acquire a 26inch vent rib bbl with screw in chokes. You really don't need a rifled bore gun to shoot slugs. I have shot over 250 deer with smooth bore guns..mostly 1100's with a skeet or improved cylinder choked bbl. You should attempt to keep the ranges under 100 yds if possible. Have a fellow here that carries a Mossy 590 on horseback with 9 slugs ready to rock and roll. If you need the gun to shoot them big deer up there you're gonna do it under 50 yds or so I'd say and the 12 ga foster slug is a formidable chunk of lead when it comes to griz. It is the gun and load of choice for the outfitters taking people fishing and hunting here in Wy. The griz here really isn't afraid of people. A fellow I know was mauled by one this year while calling elk for his father. Dad killed it with a bow.. yep a bow. They had a shotgun but not close enough to get to in the short time they had. 12 ga barrel with screw chokes will do all you will ever need it for...from grouse and ducks to moose and griz. If you were in the US I'd send ya one.
