My two slayers

[Onpoint]

Just got the shurshot stock in the mail today and on my old 870 sp. Now just waitin on the 336 base so I can try out the ff3. Then it'll be off to find the magic choke. I'm wantin to shoot the hevi-13 7's if I can get em to pattern. Not lookin for the tightest pattern in the world cuz a lot of my shots are 20-25 yards but at the same time I do hunt out of state public land a lot and if I have a stubborn bird hang up at 45 I wanna bring him home. With the lil short barreled 870 in the pic I've got the 665 jelly head and it truly is a good 45 yard gun but I've passed it on to my fiancée. Also I haven't been able to get hevishot to pattern out if it tried a couple loads last year, can't remember which ones, but it throws a mean pattern of Winchester hv #5's. Never had a bit of problems with this setup. But like i said I'd like to try the hevi 7's or heavyweight 7's in this other setup. I'm thinking maybe pure gold .670.. What y'all think???

You have good looking guns and lots of choices for chokes. I would go with the Hevi-13 shells if you're looking for good patterns with #7 shot.

I'd recommend that you "deep clean" the bores of your guns. You can read that procedure by clicking on the banner beneath this post and go to the article "Cleaning a Shotgun Barrel". it can't hurt your bore and will help you maximize your patterns whatever you choose.

Good luck this spring.

Thanks,
Clark

That's funny you bring up the deep cleaning thing, I had never heard of it but saw it on here and did it yesterday. Bore is shiny as a mirror except for a few pit marks about an inch out from forcing cone.

I'm glad you gave it a try. It really allows you to get a good look at your bore and it also helps to maximize the performance of your shell/choke combination.

Hundreds of hunters and shooters have used that process over the last few years. Many send me pictures of the "gunk" they get out of what they thought were clean barrels.

Best of luck this spring.

I wish I hadve took a picture. It was nasty, it looked like used motor oil.

Good luck in the choke choice. You will love the fastfire.

Well I've narrowed the choke down to sumtoy or pure gold. I'm leaning toward the sumtoy really hard though.

I can't speak for the 870, although they are great guns. Now, William at SumToy got me setup with a choke for my 835, and I couldn't be happier.
My point is, I would call William at SumToy and have him build you a choke. He will work with you till you are satisfied. Great guy, and great product.

[Onpoint]

Well I've decided on the choke. I'm gonna go with a Sumtoy .660.

Best of luck to you. Please let us know how it works for you.

That will do it!

Those guns look great! I've never used a sumtoy, but a lot of guys here love em and get great results.

I'm still waitin on the 336 base o come in. It was on back order at midway. When I mount it y'all think it's be better to put it towards the rear of the receiver. I was thinking its e better like that. All the red dots I've had have just been on a weaver rail and I'd move em back n forth til I got it right. Oh by the way I got the sumtoy .660 on the way. William is a super nice guy.

Got the Sumtoy 660 in the mail today.. Haven't had a chance to get any shells, shot a Winchester 3"hv 1.75 oz #6. Got around 100 in the ten and 27 in the head and neck at 40 yards. I'm gonna try hevishot 7's, and Winchester xx 3-2-6 lead. I kno that the hevishot will probably pattern better but if the lead loads will pattern good im gonna shoot them. Might keep a cpl hevishot  in my vest if I'm gonna set up on a field or somethin where a long shot is possible.

Justin,

Glad William hooked you up with that SumToy. He really makes a great product.
Now go kill a truckload of turkeys!
