I just bought a Mossberg Super Bantam for my 9 year old daughter.  She went with me to Nashville last week and is as fired up as I am about April.  I have no idea where to start with this gun.  I have a tru glo red dot for it but I need recomendations as far as a choke and loads.  I have never owned a 20 gauge but after shooting this one a few times it may become dad's new gun if I get it all sorted out.  I shoot a pure gold on my 835 and love it but I don't think they make a choke for this gun.  I may be wrong.  Thanks for any advice and assistance. I also posted this in the 20 guage section but thought I might get a little more traffic here.

They are a great lill gun. I won one last year and it shoots the federal heviweight #7 with the factory choke very well. I can get 150 on a ten at 40 with it.
Don't gobble at me...

my wife shoots that gun with hevi-13 #7 shot with a hevi-13 choke and it is deadly out to 40 yards.

I have the exact gun for my wife and daughter. I have an undertaker hevishot choke and shoot hevishot number 6. The choke is cheap by comparison and the gun is a TRUE 40 yard killer. Only concern with this setup is it may shoot too tight for a first timer. I have a pic of the pattern under wifes gun if you would like to see it. I think I posted it last March or April.
Jakes are like scotch. They are not worth a darn until they age.

I have same gun for my grandsons and set it up with a .555 Pure Gold.  We just have the factory turkey sites...no optics.   In reality the choke was too tight for my 12 year old grandson who did not have a lot of experience yet. Maybe a red dot would have helped him.  I went back to the original Mossberg X full turkey choke for him.

I ordered a .562 from William at Sumtoy last night.  I am going to mount the red dot this weekend and hopefully try it out soon. Probably gonna try to find some Fed HW or Hevi 7's this weekend somewhere. Looking forward to seeing what it will do.
