Title: Just Bought A Rem. 1187 20Ga.
Post by: vaturkey on January 22, 2012, 10:51:08 AM

I bought a new in the box  Rem. 1187 20Ga. yesterday . I'm not sure what choke to put in it. Do you think an Indian Creek .555 & Hevi 13 will be a good start. What oz load do you folks recommend ? Also do you see the Fed . HW shooting better than the Hevi ? Thanks for any and all advice. Im excited to kill a gobbler with this little 20.


  Thanks   Ricky   :newmascot:

Hey Ricky good thing I showed up at the gun show & met up with you when I did & was able to loan you my hankerchief to wipe the drool off your chin.   :TooFunny:

Good to see & talk with you.  You got a real deal on that gun.  It has 1 of the best camo finishes I've ever seen.  By the way, save my hankerchief, I forget to get it back.  Please wash before returning.  LOL !!!  :icon_thumright:
