Another vote for the 3.5" LongBeards but with the .662 Hevi choke.

I love mine. I have a rhino .660 and last year's mag blends are awesome. I bought long beard #6 that I have yet to try. I just added a burris ff3. If I'd known at the time, I would have tried sumtoy for a choke. The rhino is great, but $100 is a bit harsh. I had some issues ejecting 2 3/4 shells, but it was an easy fix with a video shared on here. If you have the same problem, you can look at my posts and find the fix. Good luck.

Thank for all the responses so far, do I need to polish the barrel on a new gun? Would you mind explaining what exactly that does..

Thanks

If I was you i would just deep clean it to get all the factory grease out. Shoot a dove load and boresnake it. then go to patterning and boresnake between shots. It will most likely shoot just fine without polishing it. I myself dont feel comfortable polishing a barrel because you are actually taking metal away no matter how fine of scotchbrite you use. If you dont believe this get some inside mics on that barrel then polish it and mic again. It might only be .0005 larger but still....

Don't overlook the HD choke that came with it. Mine shoots very good with the HD choke. You can save yourself some $$$ to spend on shells and calls .
