I know this probably gets asked all the time around here, but i just got a Remington 870 for my birthday that shoots 3" shells. It came with a modified choke. What's yalls opinion on a good choke i should get for turkeys?

Sumtoy .650 did the best in my 870 and the jellyhead .665 was a close 2nd using hevi #6's.

I'm using IndianCreek .665

It's more about good shells then a good choke. Get some 3" 2oz #6 or #7 Hevi13 shells. If money is no issue get a pure Gold or a Indian Creek choke. If you spent all your money on shells just get a cheap choke that can shoot Hevi shot. After some time at the range you should have a 40 yard gun.

The Jellyhead .660 and Remington barrels were made for each other. :icon_thumright:

Jelly Head .665 works great for me, better than the Rhino .660 I have.

Ssx.643 is what I'm shooting. I shot it with lead Sunday and got 110 in a 12" circle at 40 yards.

Well it wasn't made for my 28" barrel.  Neither was the Jelly Head .665.

I think Al is right about the Pure Gold .670 does seem to work very well in a lot of 870 barrels.  I like mine.  40yd tape measured pattern flipped over so you can better see it.   Hevi-13 3" 2oz #7's 

And this was shot with the factory bead.  That's deadnut.

Something that i have noticed and this could just be coincidence is that every Pure Gold .670 i have run in Rem 870's, Berettas, etc...I could have just shot the beads because the POI/POA stayed on.  I have noticed the opposite with the Jelly Heads .660-.665.  I have always had to use sights to get them lined up. Could just be the 8-10 guns i have run them in... but it does have me scratching my head.

I shot two chokes in my 870...  .665 Indian Creek, and the Jellyhead .665,
jelly head shot much better in my fun, using 3" hevi, #6 shot.
