Agree on the Rem. Ventilator if you can find one.

In years past i have been using 28" barrel 3" hevi-13  3-2-7.  but this year i sold that 870 to buy a 870 super mag with 26" barrel.   I havent even shot it yet, just got it this week.  it will shoot 3.5" shells and intend to shoot hevi-13  3.5-2.25-7

I shoot a Pure Gold .670 in my 835 with 3 1/2 7's and it's fantastic.  A friend of mine has a .665 Indian Creek in his 870 that does very well with Hevi 7's.

I know we have all heard that the Star Dot chock tube is the Holy Grail for the mossberg 835...  My questions is there a "holy grail" type choke tube for the Remington 870?  Thanks for any input

I shoot a Star Dot in my Nova............and have a spare. I'm not sure there is such a thing as a "holy grail" for any gun.

[Tom007]

Agreed, it depends on the gun, the load, find the best pattern with each...be safe my friends

My 870 likes the Hevi 13 tube with Hevi 13  3 in 2 oz #6 or #7....a good even hunting pattern

[Tom007]

Perfect, good luck, be safe......

The best chokes I have found is the Indian Creek .665 and the jelly head .665.

 Remington "Ventilator", downright awesome in my 870 Super Magnum.

Question. isn't the Rem Ventilator for lead shot only? I have one and shoot an 870 Turkey/Predator shotgun. I don't use the ventilator because 'lead shot only' printed on the package.

You are right. I shoot lead in mine.  The old Federal Premium 3" 2 oz. 7 1/2 shot. Deadly combination!
