I have an 870 express with 28 inch barrel and want experiment a little with choke tubes and shells. What would be a good combo? I have a 870 turkey gun w 21 inch barrel and kicks choke that does well, just didnt know if the one w 28 inch barrel would do better or worse with that tight of a choke? Both ar 12 gauge.

Thanks buddy appreciate the info. I'm gonna try the 28 inch barrel gun and see how it does but I will prob lead off with my 870 turkey 21 inch. I have an 1187 full camo 20 gauge I bought last year so it will prob get some hunt time as well.

I got it for 400 from a guy that bought it for his son and he wanted to upgrade to a 12 gauge. It is mint condition.
