What size shell you want to run? Lead or Hevi-shot? Shot size preferred? Distance of shots expected?

I would start with a PG 670.  If you shoot it and it doesn't work, you can get your money back.  If that doesn't work out you could try and Jelly Head 660-665.  They seem to work for most people. 
You can also give Sumtoy a call.  I haven't had the pleasure of dealing with them, but I have heard great things.

I have a PG in my 3" 870 and run mag blends through it.  I am getting over 200 consistantly.

has anyone tried a rhino choke in these guns? Nitro Recommends them to be the best shooting choke for the 870?
