Those guns have become pretty popular in this area with both turkey and waterfowl hunters. There are a number of chokes that are working well with them but by far the most popular shot is Hevi-13 with #6 and #7 shot for the turkey hunters.

Chokes that are in high demand for that gun include Pure Gold, JEB's, Hevi-13, SSX, and Wright's, all in the tighter exit diameters offered.

Thanks,
