Does anyone make rifled slug barrels? I thought that is considered illegal because the bore is larger than .50. I thought that deer slugs are usually rifled on the outside so they catch the air and start spinning once they exit the barrel.

I believe Cabelas sells a rifled barrel. It is also very easy to buy rifled choke inserts for various sighted shotgun barrels.

Sure do. You would just wasting those expensive sabots without one.

I believe that there is a "sporting purpose" exception.

Those are foster type slugs, which generally should only be used with a smooth barrel. They are generally much less accurate than sabots from a rifled barrel, however.
