Stardot/Remington 870

Did anyone ever shoot a Star dot choke in a 12 gauge 870. If so do you know what constriction  was it and what were the results?

I don't recall the constriction but with the old red 3in Winchester #6's I got 130-140's which I thought was great then.

130-140s is great now for lead. I would be content with that and I have a lot of those shells.

I just measured my Star Dot ported 12ga Remington choke and it is .670   It will average 240+ in the 10"er at 40yds with the LB #6's. that's in a 21" 870 with 3" chamber. Funny thing is....it'll do about the same with the LB #5's. Killed a LOT of birds with the SD choke and #5 Federal Heavy Weight 2oz loads.

I still have mine. Got a IC .665 because I thought  I needed a high dollar choke. But my star-dot shoots just as good. I killed a pile of birds with it and the old Winchester supreme #6.

Thanks for the comments. I just bought a used one for a good price. Have not received it yet. I knew they were in demand for an 835 but had never heard anything about them in an 870.

Check out my pattern in the Remington Section under 870 SM...

Lowoctane, that is the closest thing to a perfect pattern with no gaps that I have seen in a long time. Very nice.

Thanks! Have to agree with you and it's the standard I measure my other turkey guns with.

Is the Preston Pitman version the same and as good as the original Stardot?
