Title: 870 SPS-T 20 ga
Post by: Whacker on May 03, 2020, 10:22:01 AM
Anybody have a 870 SPS-T 20.

They seem to be few and far between and just looking for some suggestions on shell/choke combos to look into.

Thanks.

I have one. Found the Indian Creek .555 put a nice pattern up. One thing though. Choke has a large gap between barrel and exterior of choke. Looks super sloppy. Looks to seat completely inside the barrel. Will need to paint it as the stainless is visible in the gap and shines when light hits it. Not pleased with the look or the fact that I have to paint it. I hear Carlson's TSS put up a comparable pattern. Will try that one to see if it does. Both Federal and Apex 9's pattern great and similarly.
Here are pics of my ugly choke gap.

I dont have the SPS-T 20 but I have a Remington 20 with a rifle sighted barrel so basically same gun. I shoot Fed 9s out of an original Jellyhead .570 great hunting pattern. Room for error at 20 and still around the 170-180 at 40 yards pretty even. I can text some pics if you want to text me 417-254-0595
