870 12 Ga Express Magnum BWTF Edition Set Up

[Lou2024]

I came home from my gun club with a never fired 870 12 gauge, with a threaded 20 inch barrel and this being my first 12 gauge for turkey hunting,my thought was to set up for non TSS ammo. At $20 box a box Longbeards XR either #4 or #5,I am looking to match the choke with a Carlson .560  Anyone have any thoughts on my setup, appreciated,  And yes at 69 I going to also look for a limb saver, but figure it wouldn't be much different then my TSS Apex 20 gauge.

That setup will serve you well. My 870 with carlsons longbeard.660 choke and 3"#5 longbeards shoots a great pattern. I use a 20ga now mostly but I will still take the 870 occasionally because it is such a good shooter. The limbsaver will help a lot

For the 870, they like chokes right around .665.  They will shoot the LB's and Hevi's really well.  Don't discount the LB 6's as a viable option.  Go to the Remington pattern pictures section, plenty of PICS with choke and ammo.  Indian Creek and Sumtoy are right at the top for the 870.

Long Beards #6 shot are deadly thats all I use give em a try.

X2, the Indian Creek shoots Long beard 6's out of my 1187 Special Purpose real fine. Also does well with Hevi-13 #7's. Good all round choke for the short barreled Remi's.
