Title: Accessories for my 870
Post by: MOOSE on February 27, 2012, 09:57:13 PM
I have decided on buying a new 870 bone collector (didn't necessarily want the BC edition but have a dicks gift card). Any suggestions on sights and choke to turn this into a killing machine????

It's a 870 it should be fine without.

If it were mine I would put a Pure Gold .670 in the end of the barrel and a Burris FastFire III on top of the gun.

Sights - Some fiber optics with windage adjustment will help you align POA and POI (point of aim and point of impact) and help keep your head down on the stock better than the plain old front bead.  Scopes can get you there even better, but also more expensive.  My gun luckily shoots every load where I aim it with cheap stick on the rib truglo gobble dots.

Chokes - Tons of great choices here.....simply do a search on "870 Choke" and you will see alot on here like the Kicks, Jellyhead, Indian Creek, and Sumtoy will make anything you want them to.
