Hi everyone, just joined here and ready to start learning about killing some big birds. I just bought my son a new Remington 11-87 Sportsman from Scheels the other day and want to get it ready for killing turkeys. 2 questions:
What's a good choke/ammo combo? The wife would kill me if I just started buying boxes and chokes to experiment with.
What's a good scope/sight? I thought like a red dot type of scope but honestly not sure how to mount it.
Thanks for any tips, I started hunting a few years ago but with a bow so I'm still really learning. THANKS
My son has the same gun and he`s shooting a pure gold 570 with hevi shot 7`s
I've read on here where guys are gettin great numbers with that gun and an SSX with heavyweight 7's.
Thanks guys. What kind of sight are you using?
Mine shoots an indian creek .555 very well with hevi 13, 6's
Tightwad .570 + Hevi #7s
Indian Creek .555 and Hevi 7's
You can use a B-Square saddle mount and put a scope or red dot on it
Or, fiber optics that attach to the rib. :camohat:

I thought about that but since he's only 7 I wondered if a red dot/scope would be more accurate for him.
PS Thanks for all the replies so far.
I decided after doing a little digging here that I'm gonna start off with a Hevi 13 choke for my xtrema 2 (12 gauge).
Was wondering about getting the same choke for him to keep it more "simple" if there's such a thing?
Thanks again everyone.
