Ithaca Model 37 choke suggestions?

I just picked up a Turkey Slayer model (Kings Ferry) for "too cheap to pass up".

I bought a Indian Creek choke .660 at Bass Pro but, from what I've read, the .660 may be too tight.  Indian Creek said they would exchange. Planning on shooting Federal TSS #7 or some various lead #6.

What should I ask for?

I use an Indian Creek .665 in mine. Had decent patterns w the Briley that came w my gun too. I'm shooting Winchester supreme 5s but have shot hevi shot and that was decent too. Longbeards I'd tried w the 675. I'm just not a fan of the impossibly tight patterns

Picked up an Indian Creek .660.  That's all BassPro had.  Hopefully I can test it out this weekend.

That should work pretty good. My turkeyslayer model wears the factory Briley that came with the gun. It's .675 and works well.

I originally asked this question regarding a Ithaca waterfowler, but I just picked up a Turkey Slayer model (Kings Ferry) for "too cheap to pass up".

I shoot basically the same gun (Model 87, 3") and I get great results using the Carlson's Long Beard XR choke. I'm shooting Win. Longbeards #6. My gun didn't like the Indian Creek, Pure Gold or Star Dot chokes.
