I have a good friend who just bought a 870SM Turkey/Predator combo that comes with the Truglo red/green dot from the factory. It has the ultra short 20" barrel and Remington's thumbhole stock. He would like to shoot Hevi 3.5" Magblends. Any idea on suitable chokes for this combo?? Thanks for your time.

Check out captin hook  870 sm hevi 3-2-6 in pattern pictures . You may what to try the choke it came with .

I have the same gun. Don't pass up trying that HD / predator choke. It shocked the heck out of me. I was going to go with the 3.5s but I heard the 3s put up a pretty good pattern. I have a pic in the gun pattern section.

Hevi-13 .662 choke.
X2 or jelly head. I have the same gun with a jellyhead .660 it shoots magblends {3.5"} very good. Also definitely try the choke it came with I think that's a .675 dia.
