Title pretty much says it all. Not a fan of Mossberg really...but for the right price I would probably buy one. That being said, I can't justify spending big big bucks on a shotgun that I'm going to beat the piss out of in the swamp either.
I just really don't feel like dealing with buying one online and shipping to an FFL and yadda yadda...but if it comes to it, I will.

smooth bore with rifles slugs are good also.
I've got a 20G with a smoothbore but I'd like to be able to reach out and touch 'em when I want to. I shot smoothbore Remington 12s (870 and 11-87) growing up and they are great guns....put a lot of deer down with them. I vividly remember seeing deer at 120-150 yards and either not being able to shoot or shooting and hitting way low....hence my desire for a rifled barrel. I'm planning on putting a B-square scope mount on it so the iron sights are still usable, but I can still get precise shot placement with a scope if need be.
20 ga. will definately reach out there and touch em. I got an 870 rifled bore that will drop anything 150 yards and in. May just want a rifled barrel for the one you got? Todays sabots are awesome for the 20 ga platform
My 20G is a Mossberg 500 and I don't like it. It clanks a lot and I don't like the action. If I had an 870 in the 20 G it'd probably be a different story. I have no doubts about the stopping power of a 20 gauge slug, and I'm not totally opposed to the idea of a 20 with a rifled barrel, but I have had a harder time finding 20 G ammunition than 12G, and I'm lazy when it comes to shopping.
