I want to buy a shotgun, but I can't decide between a smooth or rifled barrel. I understand that a rifled barrel will help extend slug accuracy.
What does rifling do for buckshot or birdshot?
What's your favorite kind of barrel?
Also, would 20 gauge be OK for deer hunting and home defence?
I will be shooting small game and varmits, the occasional clay targets, and paper targets. I don't hunt, but I want the capability to hunt deer if I ever decide to start hunting in the future.
