Anyone have any experience with this gun? I am on the fence about buying one. What kinda patterns are you seeing with what chokes? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
It's a fine choice. Tons of good chokes out there for it that will throw great patterns. Check out some pics in the patterning section. You'll find this gun with plenty of different chokes used. :welcomeOG:
Love mine. Got it with a shurshot stock. 191 with 3.5 magblends and a Jellyhead 660.

I shoot the shur shor mag and Burris FF3 with a Jelly head choke (.660) also shot SSX, Kicks, and Pure Gold. All will kill a turkey at 40 yards, but Jelly Head give me the most consistent pattern. This is a good turkey gun. :fud:
Thanks for the info fellas. I'll check out the patterning page.
Stick with a .665 choke and #5 shot, I have always done well with that set up out of 870 SPST and Super Mag. The Winchester Long Beards in #5 for those guns are outstanding, too tight for me to hunt at for yards, if you are wanting a tight pattern, This is it.
A super mag with a shur shot stock using a 665 IC and nitro loads is a longbeards nightmare.
I love mine, I have a jellyhead .660 and shoot H-13 #6's it will do 210-220's . another great choke for the 870 is the hevi shot choke.
