I am thinking my best bet would be to customize this over getting a new one...Great idea. 870's are great turkey getters. Deep clean the barrel and get a choke in the .665 range. Check the POA/POI with dove loads at 15-20 yards and correct if necessary. LB #5 or 6's in 3 or 3 1/2" should be a deadly combo with a .665 choke. SSX, Sumtoy or IC are excellent choke choices.

Quote from: bbcoach on February 07, 2017, 11:41:29 AMThe Hevi choke is another good choke as well. What kind of pattern are you getting with the LB 6's? As far as the stock replacement, that is up to you. A black stock will be just fine. Camo not required. What is required is very, very limited movement when Ole Three Toes gets into view.

I really did not like it all that much and went back to a normal stocked gun.I am using a Hevi Shot .662 choke with Long Beard XR 3" #6.I am thinking of getting a camo pistol grip stock and camo fore end like this one:
