Gotta get 'dat BOOM BOOM BOOOOM - New Rem 870 ShurShot Turkey Gun for b-day

[bamagtrdude]

 

Aaaawwwwhhh yeah...  First *new* turkey gun in about ...  10 years!  My b-day is coming up next Friday, and my wife made the mistake of asking me what I wanted, and of *COURSE* I said, "A new turkey gun..." and she was like, "How many guns do we need???!!"... 

Welp, I'm super-stoked; a buddy of mine had gotten a sweetheart deal on an 870 Super Mag that he decked out with a gun grip, etc. and he brought it over & I couldn't believe how light-weight it was!!  Any-HOO, as soon as day breaks, I've got a turkey paper target I'm gonna blast with some Rem Nitro 3" 5's & see what happens -- virgin blast comin' shortly, along with more pics & video!!!

Congrats on the new ZZ Tops Gun .(sharp dressed gun)

Thx guys!  Yes, the ShurShot stock is *nice*; definitely something I'll need to get used to, but I like the position I'm in w/that stock in the "turkey pose" sitting position...

Hey, can anybody confirm that the stock Wingmaster HD choke tube in this gun is .675 constriction, like this says right here: http://www.shopremingtoncountry.com/ProBore-Choke-Wingmaster-HD-Gauge/dp/B00J47NFTS

If so, that's pretty good...  I believe I've read other posts on here where hunters with the same gun & factory choke are getting pretty decent results with their patterns...  Am ALL EARS on the best shell for the factory setup; I'll monkey with choke tubes & what-not later on...  Pretty dang happy w/the gun, straight from the assembly line!

Congrats on the new gun

.660 Jellyhead has worked wonders in those 870's.

Gman - 10-4, I've seen some of the posts about that combo, and yeah!  I'm a TightWad user myself & have found good results with it; may be time to check out the Jellyhead...  What shells have you seen folks use with that choke?  I have to say -- I'd really like to get the LongBeards to work in this gun; they're just ...  too strong of a shell to ignore...

If I'm not mistaken the pro bore is only in the new versa max guns. Your pic looks like an 870 which would have ten chokes

So...  do you know the constriction of the regular ole Wingmaster HD RemChoke Turkey/Predator?  I pulled the choke out & that's what is written on the outside, just like the one in this pic...

I shoot the same gun with a 21" barrel. Mine loves longbeard 3.5/2/6 out of the hevi .662 choke. The factory wingmaster choke didn't do so hot out of it.

Shot the gun this morning, before work...

1st shot w/bird shot @ 20 yards: http://youtu.be/pSXnVoy4cbc

2nd shot w/Remington Nitro 3" 5's: http://youtu.be/YleUrcUKU14

  Can you say, "got a little excited!"  ??!!  hahaha...  Oh well, I'll get this thing on some bags & try 'er again @ 30 & 40 & maybe even 50/60...  The bird shot was a Remington HeavyDove load, and it got 267 bbs in an 8" square on the paper...

I beleive that choke is .670. My buddy has that choke in his 870 turkey/predator and he shoots 3.5" Win supreme Hi Velocity # 5s with good results.

I have the same gun...you wont be disappointed!!!!!  Congrats
