Choke for my 870

I'm currently using a Tru Glo gobble stopper but I'm not entirely thrilled with my pattern. I'd like to try a new choke around $50 (used or new). I don't shoot Hevi Shot mainly due to the price so I'd like to stay with lead. Any reccomendations taking all this into account? I shoot a 870 21" barrel and it's the 3" model not the super magnum. I'll do a search for patterns to determine which load will be the best to start out with my patterning once I decide on a choke. Thanks!

Truglo SSX, Remington Ventilator, or Jellyhead .660

My buddy uses a Jelly Head.  Not sure of the constriction.

Ive had good luck with the Ventilator and Win Supremes 3" x 6's.

If all you're gonna shoot is lead, I would grab up a Ventilator!  AWESOME chokes for lead. I haven't met a remmy that didn't like a Ventilator and a healthy dose of Winchester or Federal lead (pre FC).

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind te most.

I'd recommend the SSX with 3" Winchester shells with #6 shot. I've always recommended the HV (Black Shells) and still think its a good shell but I'm seeing just about equal results now with their lesser priced shells with either 2 oz. of 1 7/8 oz. of #6 shot.

Thanks,

I will try that Remington Ventilator before buying another choke. Anything other than the Winchester Supreme I should try?

hard to beat the jelly head .

Another vote for the Rem Ventilator choke for like $20 shipped to your door from CDNN.

You won't beat it for the money.

This. I use a .665, but i have heard tons of people had success with the .660. Jellyheads just seem to work great with about 99% of the 870s out there.
