What would be the best choke for an 870 with a 21 inch barrel shooting 3 1/2 inch Hevi 7s?
something in a .660 constriction.
i think that would be a prime candidate for a truglo ssx .643

:agreed:
my 1187 has a .660 rhino choke in it and it throws some good patterns
For an awesome even hunting pattern from 10 to 50 yards....shoot a PURE GOLD .670 in your gun!!!

Short bbls seem to like tight chokes. 660JH would be a good start.

For the money....it doesn't get any better for the 870.
I've shot Jellyhead in .665 in two 870's not so good .660 would be better. I went with an IC .665 love it.
Thanks for the info guys!
I already have a 665 indian creek that I shoot on a 23" 870 supermag that gives awesome patterns 50 yards plus with the Hevi 13 7s and magblends.
Think I may get both a jellyhead 660 and pure gold 670 and try all three in that 21 incher with the Hevi 7s as that is about all I am shooting now a days.
Should have the choke spectrum covered with those combos! :lol:
i shot a ventilator and xfull from remington out of my gun(same as yours). I got around 160+/- hits with both at 40. I was expecting more with the tight constriction on the ventilator

I just tested this with the Hevi 13 #7 out of my 28 inch Supermag 870 although it was only at 20 yards it shot a very good pattern. Good enough that I'm going to hunt with it. When I can test it some more I'll post it. Chief.
.660 if you shoot paper .670 if you shoot turkeys.A Pure Gold .670 throws a great hunting pattern with that gun.
Just picked up a Pure Gold 670 choke in Charleston SC this weekend and going to give it a try next week.
Never knew until I bought it that they were made in Georgetown SC.
The quality of the machining and finish on the choke looks good.
