Shotguns are for shooting shot,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
you are absolutely right.
first, most shot guns have way to much play were the barrel meet the receiver to throw accrete round down range consistently . you can shim them with some beer can metal but your better off with a rifled barrel and if a scope is used then mount it on the barrel,, like with a cantilever system so when it move so will the scope.
at best a rifled choke will help , I don't think I would shoot a slug out of a normal shotgun choke .
I shoot a 870 20 gage with a cantilever scope and the barrel is shimmed tight.
Also try different slug to see what she like to throw down range.
with the right set up 20 gages is more then enough.
