msg73 1 Posted January 1, 2014 I have a smoothed bore Benelli M2 (26") shotgun. Would that be ok to hunt deer with using Foster slugs? Or should I get a inexpensive rifled barrel shotgun? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bt Doctur 188 Posted January 1, 2014 no need for a rifled barrel with slugs. It all depends on what you gun likes. My Ithaca M37 w/ 26 IMP has all 5 holes touching at a measured 100 yds using 7/8 ounce Win slugs. When i went to 1 oz ones it opened up to 1-1/2 at 100 yds.

JackDaWack 2,895 Posted January 2, 2014 Does it have rifle sights on the barrel?... Most people use smooth bore, so i don't see it being a problem at all.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronhonda 86 Posted January 2, 2014 I have an 21 inch M2 field and shoot slugs out of it all the time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 264 Posted January 2, 2014 As mentioned, make sure you have some form of adjustable sights on it, be it a red dot, iron sights, or scope. A bead sight is not legal to hunt with slugs in NJ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msg73 1 Posted January 2, 2014 Thanks for the replies Yes, I'll make sure to have sights on it. I'll try out some foster slugs to see how they group with different brands. Is the IC choke generally the best for slugs? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
