Title: Remington 870 3” 28” barrel with Winchester long beard Xr #6
Post by: Elidepew05 on February 01, 2021, 09:20:43 AM
I have tried a carlsons long beard Xr choke .660 with Winchester long beard Xr 3" 1 3/4 #6. I wasn't impressed at 50. I would like the best choke for this setup possible. What choke can you recommend. Looking at pattern master code black turkey,Jebs headhunter,sumtoy or kicks goblin thunder. If you don't mind to respond with pattern pictures.

Planning to routinely take 50 yard shots?  You'll get better patterns and cripple fewer birds if you shoot 40 and in .

It took the forums advice with my 870. I got an Indian Creek .665 and get great patterns with Longbeards and Hevi 13 #7 shot. My barrel is 26 inches. Indian Creek is mentioned a lot for the 870's on this forum.....good luck.....

I cleaned out all the old pattern targets. Will be going out again, will pattern and send you pics. Snowing bad here. Patterning on hold till it warms up. Go through the Remington threads here, you will see lots of patterns. Good luck....
