Title: Winchester 1300 XTR build
Post by: Chilly on March 31, 2020, 11:16:54 PM
Back in the summer I bought a Winchester 1300 XTR at an estate auction.  This was a close friend of mines gun.  It's been sitting in the safe and I really didn't have a use for it but mainly wanted it just to have one of his guns.  This gun is in pretty good shape with a few scratches here or there.  I'm wanting to turn it into a turkey killer.  What choke would you guys reccomend for this?  Probably going to be shooting TSS #9.  Thanks Old Gobbler!

I've had good luck with Indian Creek BDS chokes in my 1300's. You didn't mention what gauge.
