Quote from: peashooter on June 06, 2014, 12:08:52 PMThanks for everyone's input. I think before next spring I'll talk to Sumtoy. For those that have done it, do you recommend sending the gun to him to let Sumtoy work up a choke for it, or just try one of his recommended chokes?There's some extra money for shipping and services to let him work up a choke/load, but I'd imagine the result would be great.Tucker

It's cheaper than you might think. Lastly I have two 870 and neither of them will shoot #4 at all and #5 is marginal at best, but you load them with #6 and it's death and destruction all day long.
