The shooting poi is a question no one could answer. If you shot regular lead loads from an open choke  I'd say yea. Shoot longbeard for instance from a turkey choke  you're prob need to adjust. Same for anytime you change chokes.
Remember how much you personally can manipulate a gun squeezing the trigger. All guns need patterning and it means nothing if a turkey choke/gun combo doesn't shoot poa, cause the next choke n load from same gun could.

I just picked up a new 410 , I put a Holosun 507cGR on it. I bore sighted her by eye at 5 yards. @ 20, I shot one 3" #9 Fiocci pheasant load w/stock choke and it was right there with a great pattern. I didn't have to move it. I didn't mess w/tss yet. It's still cold here and I just received a new Kicks GT choke. The Kicks does well in my son's 301 Steven's, I thought I'd try as well. Good luck with it, definitely an awesome gun.  :icon_thumright:
I'll post em up when it gets warm.

Good to see few fellas interested in an American gun.

When I first saw these Henry's advertised, I thought I would probably get the 410 in bottomland,, but when I looked at the 12 gauge, it just spoke to me and I decided to get that one instead I already have an 870 lightweight  in 410 and that gun shoots fantastic with TSS nine shot it's an older gun and has a fixed full choke. I just ordered a Jeb's headhunter for the Henry in .660. i'll post some pictures of the pattern once the choke gets here.

Answered my question, they shoot the bead. Apex 9s 1-5/8 oz, REM Super Full Hevi at 40 yards off rangefinder.

Nice Don. Those are great guns

I have the regular 20 gauge and it is drilled and tapped. Shoots an awesome pattern with Apex 1 5/8 oz #8.5s with Trulock .585, but shoots pretty low using bead
