    Hi guys I got some Hevi 13 #6 and #7 in 3 and 3.5 inch, and I also got some Mag Blend in 3 and 3.5 inch. I have 2 Rem 870's one with a 20 inch barrel and one witha 26 inch barell. I would like to know what choke you guys are having luck with. I have a SSX, Wrights #3, and a Jellyhead in .660. I will shoot these chokes but didn't get to the range yet but was wondering if you guys found a good combo. THANKS!!!!

You have 2 of the 3 best chokes I've tried with those guns. I think you'll see your best patterns with the 3" shells with the 26" barrel. I'd recommend that you "deep clean" the bores and the chokes.

Please let us know how it goes.

Thanks,

I have a 23" barrel with the jh 660.  I get 191 with an unpolished bore.  3.5" mag blends.

I believe it will do better once polished.   I can see many imperfections down my barrel.

The jh660 seems like it was made for the 870.

Good luck.

I have an older 870 with a 26" barrel and it loves the SSX choke and the 3" magnum blends. Barrel was cleaned but not real good and at 40 yards I got 211 in the 10" circle.

the chokes you have are fine.. no need to buy anything else.  HEVI #7 will definitely put up the numbers. you should be 250++

I also believe that the JH would work just fine. As Clark said, remember to Deep Clean the bore and choke. I think you will be happy with that combo.

Not to be a stick in the mud here but when you say Rem 870, you mentioned shootin 3.5 shells through it? So you have a Super Mag, right?

Btw, Im getting a JellyHead choke for my 835. I hear so many good thing's about these choke's. Can shoot Hevi shot, copper plated lead, and lead through them.
