hi everyone im new here and have used the search function to do some research. i just bought a 870 sps turkey predator for my new turkey gun , im wondering what you all think the best chocke choice is right now i have 3 in 2 oz number 6 winchester xx turkey loads ,, remington nitro turkey 3 inch 1 7/8 oz number 5 and just picked up today some turkey thug 3 inch 2 oz 5 ,,, i wanted to use one of these loads but i pretty much ran out of time seeings how turkey season starts next week ,, i got a week to put something together if i cant i will just go with the old winchester lol .. i took me about 3 weeks to finally join and break down and ask the question thanks in advance for the help

My first suggestion is to get some cheapy shells and sight it in and grab a jelly head .660 or .665 and see how it shoots. I'd probably lead towards the thugs or winchesters out of those three shells. Or go snag those jelly head chokes and a box of hevi-13 7's or magblends and be done with it.

Welcome to board man. I had the same gun.. but I only shot HEVI 13 from it.  For those loads you have.. don't overlook that factory x full turkey choke it came with. If that choke doesn't do good for you... get a Jelly Head choke .665 and you should be set.

thanks guys for the fast response seems to me the heavy shot is what most people are shooting i just want a good reliable gun that i can go shoot turkeys with nothing probably over 35 yards the gun has the tru glo red / green dot on it not really to sure about it seeings how i have never had a red dot lol ,,, as for the heavy shot are these mentioned 3 inch shells that what im looking at

I would recommend the .660 JellyHead. It has performed extremely well with hevi#6s & Winchester double x #6s.

I average around 175 pellets in the 10 with the factory HD choke that came with it. That's with 3inch 2oz #6 Hevi-13 . Give the factory choke a try, might save yourself some Ching.
