Title: Best Rem 870 Combo?
Post by: NightHawk24 on April 23, 2020, 03:30:10 PM
I've decided to give in and buy one of the 870 20GA's with the 21' barrel. I like to shoot the Federal TSS 9's so I was wondering which chokes with that gun and shells could give me a nice pattern. TIA.

I use a Primos TSS Jellyhead in mine, I believe it is .560 and I use Federal Heavyweight TSS 9's, and it also shoots Remington Premier Magnum Copper plated 6's really well.

My son and I both shoot these guns with hand rolled TSS #9.  He is shooting a Primos Tightwad, and I am shooting a 575 Carlson's non-ported.  Both of them shoot very well.

Thanks for the info so far. I've seen pictures of some pretty good looking pattern with the Indian Creek and Tightwad chokes

Remington SF puts up a great hunting pattern!
