PG .670, or call IC, or William with Sumtoy. Good luck.

I vote Indian creek. They make a great product and will back their product for ever. My second recommendation would be pure gold they are another great company that makes a great choke.

Mine likes the IC but if you are looking for a good choke cheap, the Ventilator is hard to beat.

My 870 gets it's best patterns with a Primos Jelly Head .665. I use Federal Mag Shok FC 3", 2 oz., #6s and my best pattern at 40 yards was 196 in a 10 " circle. Good luck this Spring!

I sure would like to see that pattern.  Why even bother shooting Hevi-13 with a pattern like that.  Did you tape the range or step it off?  And did you rub your shell for good luck before you shot it?   :lol:

Mine likes IC but you wont get the big numbers with the blend . I use the straight 7 with great results.

You won't get huge numbers with the Magnum Blend, but it will work fine.

Probably need to use a .660-.675 choke.

I would say 660 to 670. ST,IC or PG. I have saw the guys say the JH but not going to say.  I will say that you need company that will work with you. I have saw gun just kill the target then put that choke in another gun just like it and it look  like dove gun.
