Just picked up my new 870 Super Mag in Bottomland 26" barrel. Going with the Hevi-Shot choke tube I think and going to try Hevi-Shot 6's and 7's to start patterning. Wish me luck with my new combo.

Awesome gun!!!! I have the same one. I found that the Wright's #3 choke and the Primos Tightwad work great in mine!
You'll be fine with any Jelly Head, IC or HEVI choke...they all shoot close to the same. With HEVI #7 you should be putting up 250+ in the 10in with that rig. I have a few Rem's.... they are hard to beat. Good choice.
Thanks guys, that is what I thought as well. I figured I would be fine with the Hevi- Shot tube. I got a super deal on this gun, so I was very excited to get it.
Nice!

nice lookin rig
Best of luck with your new gun.
Thanks,

Very nice!
Great lookin gun! I love the old school Bottom Land, and Green Leaf Bottom Land. Didnt know Remington was putting out guns with the old school pattern!

That is the new bottomland pattern.
I guess your right, it looks fairly close to the old school pattern, maybe a little darker. Still cool!

Perfect turkey gun
Congrats on a good looking gun. Let us know how it patterns.
Nice looking gun. Congrats on your new purchase.....
Well I just finished polishing the barrel on the 870, put my sling on and a set of Dead Ringer sights for now, still trying to decide if I want to put some type of optic on it later. Going to order my Hevi-shot choke tube in the next day or so, and then I will start to pattern her.

Great gun. :icon_thumright:
Nice! Gobblers better watch out!
Ok, I ordered my Hevi-Shot choke tube today and a Shooters Friend recoil pad. Now all that is left to do is decide if I am going to put an optic on it and if so what kind? Or I could just keep the Dead Ringer fiber optics on it.
That would look sweet with a matching fast fire protector. Just say'n!

I got a NEW turkey gun myself, went with the 870 supermag with sur shot stock. The factory choke shot fair buy got great patterns out of an old hastings .650 non ported. It sure beats carrying my old duck gun.... Used it the last 2 weeks of season and i am very satisfied with my purchase.
I have the exact gun, I use .665 jellyhead and hevi shot #6s. Shoots great.
