Title: Remington 870 SPS?
Post by: st8tman on April 12, 2012, 08:54:15 PM
I have a good friend who just bought a 870SM Turkey/Predator combo that comes with the Truglo red/green dot from the factory. It has the ultra short 20" barrel and Remington's thumbhole stock. He would like to shoot Hevi 3.5" Magblends. Any idea on suitable chokes for this combo?? Thanks for your time.

I have the same gun. Don't pass up trying that HD / predator choke. It shocked the heck out of me. I was going to go with the 3.5s but I heard the 3s put up a pretty good pattern. I have a pic in the gun pattern section.

X2 or jelly head. I have the same gun with a jellyhead .660 it shoots magblends {3.5"} very good. Also definitely try the choke it came with I think that's a .675 dia.
