Will the Combat Shotgun do More Critical Damage at my Level?

I'm playing through fallout 4 on survival, and just got access to combat shotguns; they do more damage than the double-barreled shotgun, but they lack the sawn-off upgrade to increase critical damage. My Gun Nut perk is currently capped at 2 for several levels, so I only have access to the Calibrated receiver, not the Calibrated Powerful Receiver.

I use the shotgun to critically hit powerful enemies who get close. Will I deal more critical damage with the combat shotgun, sacrificing the critical bonus for more base damage?

I read in another thread that Calibrated Receivers double critical damage, but I don't know if the Sawed-off mod is a further doubling, or works differently.
