Fully Rifled Slug Barrel

Has anyone ever had any experience using a 12 Ga Fully Rifled Slug Barrel FOR TURKEY HUNTING? Just curious, do to my Beretta 391 isn't set up for a scope mount. I have been using the double beads on my rib barrel for years with no problem but have a chance to by a slug barrel cheap

I've got a couple Taurus Judges & the rifling in the barrel seems to tend to spin the wad which in turn makes it spray the shot very wide. I don't know that the same principle would apply, but it seems likely.

Works really well for spreading your pattern, not for a tight pattern. It's kinda like the merry go round, everything gets slung to the outside. I've used one for grouse hunting before and it worked pretty well.

A helical rifled or rifleing with a twist, as most slug barrels are, will cause the shot cup to rotate. You will have a "doughnut" pattern with no hits in the center. This makes the slug barrel or any rifled barrel unusable for turkey shot. The only exception is straight rifled barrels which are uncommon.

With the right load it would be a 100 yard turkey gun for sure.

Thanks all, i didn't finish all the detail due to I had to leave. But 'am going to walk away from this deal. The reason it was so cheap was that someone had it bored for it for choke tubes. First I was skeptical about the rifleling and now I 'am concerned about the choke tube fit. It would take someone with a lot of knowledge and skill and no information about who done it could be provided and it could be dangerour to use. I now think maybe the end of barrel was damaged in some way and question why something like this would be performed in the first place. I had awnsered all my question right after I hit the post button.
