  congradulation on your new gun !!!  I have the same Identical gun Mine really shoots Winchester Long Beard #5's & 6's great with a Carlesons LB choke,  I chose to hunt with the 6's only because I have more of them,  It also shoot's H-13 3" 2oz #6's very well with an original Jellyhead .660 choke.  other good chokes with this gun were Kicks .655 and .660 with winchester HV # 6's and Indian Creek .665 and winchester LB's and H-13 #6's. I shoot mine with the beads because it's dead on POA/POI with them.

Great gun, mine which isn't a bottomland likes LB #6 with a Carlsons 660. Good luck.

Awesome find!  I would start with a Indian creek .665 and 3" longbeard #6. Personally I would not drill and tap it or put a optic on it. I would leave it as original as possible. But that's me!

Seconds on the Indian Creek and long beard Ammo. Great combo!
Congrats on the new ride, post pics of how it shoots

Thanks guys, Lots of great advice. I already ordered the 660 Carlson XR Longbeard choke. Will see how it shoots, will order the Indian Creek too to compare. I do like those long beard shells, 5's and 6's. Waiting for the Burris Fastfire and Millcreek Mount. Will def post pics. Thanks so much for the great advice. Be safe.

Great find
I have quite a few Bottomland 870's
Great guns indeed. They are very desirable by many and fetch a premium in great shape.
