That X-Factor XX-Full Turkey with a .670 e.d. is one of the better "factory" chokes that I've shot. It's a pretty straight forward conical/parallel design and is very short, even for a Win-Choke/Accu-Choke but it works very well. It does a good job with WLB and Hevi-13 shells alike.

You may want to spend some time with that choke before looking at others.

Lastly, I would highly recommend that you "deep clean" the bore of that 500 http://allaboutshooting.com/blogs/blog/tagged/cleaning-a-shotgun-barrel before firing it for the first time. It's much easier to clean before it's been shot and that will remove any oil/grease that may have been put in it.

Good luck with your new gun.

Today Iam headed to a,  not so local gun shop gunshopto pick something out of a rack.
A good deal on line , to me isn't a good deal if you can't get the gun shiped quick. I rather pay the extra money
And walk in and out with my new gun.
