OK just ordered a t/c encore pro Hunter 20 guage turkey!

Anyone have one?
If so what is your setup?
Choke, shells, sight, base, etc? I need help.

I have one with 2 chokes IC 555 and SumToy 562 both shoot great .
I never shot Fed HW in it but it loves the Hevi13  7s
I also have a FF2 mounted on it.

Thank you guys, after much and much research the only advertised mount I found that was designed to fit the por hunter 20 guage barrel was from eabco. I called them.today and ordered their specific pro Hunter 20 guage base, they said it's a weaver style base they make specifically to fit this gun, something about the new pro Hunter 20 guage barrel has very shallow holes that take a weird size screw..... Beats me! Anyways I wanted to get a sumtoy but couldn't verify if Williams mount would work. However I have ordered a choke from him and I hope he send me the 562-5 someone said he makes a 562-3, and a 562-5 and that the 562-5 is better for the federal heavyweight flight control stuff. Anyways I hope my gun comes in this week and that I get my choke mount and ff3 on it....... Hope ff3 doesn't sit too high. Anyways hope to get out and pattern this thing. I have magna blend 3 inch 5,6,7 and I have ordered some federal heavyweight 3" 7s, that stuff is hard to find. Also ordered some hevi13 7s to see what it likes. I also would like to get my hands on a box of longbeard xrs 20 guage 6 shot. This will be my first 20 guage turkey gun. I hope more tune in with more info, thank y'all for who has.
