Jelly Head .660 or .665 26" barrel with Hevi-7? Williams Fire Sight?

I have pretty much settled on a Jelly Head choke for my new 11-87 26'" barrel. Any recommendations and/or pros or cons with the .665 versus the .660 shooting 3" Hevi- 7? I am also thinking about a Williams Fire Sight for it? Any other recommendations or is the Williams the best sight if I need to take it off for sporting clays? I was hoping to not have to sight it in again if I mark the rib on the exact placement  of the sight. Is this idea practical or will have to sight it back in?

Many shooters have good luck with Jellyhead chokes. If you plan to shoot #7 Hevi-13, I'd go as tight as you can get with that design.

I much prefer the Truglo Pro Series sights for my guns. I use them on several, including Remington guns. Yours would take the TG944A. That sight is fully adjustable for windage and elevation and once you have it sighted-in you can remove it and reinstall it without disturbing the zero.

I would encourage you to deep clean the barrel, regardless of what choke you choose. It really helps much more that can be imagined...until you do it.

Thanks,

I use the .660 in all 3  of my 870 2 with H-13 6's and 1 with the 7's and all throw awesome dense tight patterns. the barrel length's are 21",23",26". I use the truglo pro sight's on 1 of them and they work very well. The only reason I went with the trugol instead of the Williams was that's all the gun shop had at the time. You will definitely wanna shoot it to see if its still on poa, poi if you remove the sights.

Williams sights are the best for the money.  Now would like to see you buy a new choke ;D but you will not need to.  The Jelly Head in a Rem is hard to beat. 
Tell us just how dead do you want them to be and we will see if we can get that for you.

Here is my Rem 870 with a .660 Jelly Head and 26" bbl.  Most Rem love the JellyHead.

The sad thing, Shannon, is that I sold it.  I just hated the smack it gave me when I pulled the trigger.  I'm a 20 gauger now.  :toothy9:
