Title: 870 SM, Sumtoy .660, Magblends
Post by: Big Jeremy on March 06, 2018, 04:11:46 PM
I was finally able to get out and test a few different chokes, and was able to land on a winner! The gun is a Remington 870 SM with 23" barrel, and Sour-Shot stock. Choke is a Sumtoy .660, and load is a 3.5" Hevi-Shot Magblend. The numbers at 43 yards (too muddy at 40, so took a few extra steps back) are as follows:

The Sumtoy had 260 hits in a 10" circle.
Primos Jellyhead at 224 hits in a 10" circle.
Factory Remington Wingmaster Turkey choke has 182 hits in a 10" circle.

I'm pleased...ready to shoot a turkey.

Looks like you have a winner there. Good even pattern I would hunt with that every day of the week.

Thanks, and yes...William really knows his chokes. This is my second Sumtoy, and in neither case has another choke end up out-performing his. I'm sure there are times when another particular gun/choke/load will creep a little above his, but I have yet to see it. Can't recommend Sumtoy chokes highly enough.

His products are the absolute best from my experience. Anyone looking for a choke would do themselves a favor to check him out. Not flashy, doesn't market like crazy...just makes the best chokes money can buy.
