Best choke tube for rem. 870 super mag?

[ZachMarkus]

I'm bout to trade my winchester sxp for a Remington 870, just wanted y'all's opinions on the best choke tube for that gun.

Depending on the shell you shoot really

I have done considerable testing as has Grizzly. A jellyhead 660 or 665 is hard to beat in an 870sm. The Hevishot choke is 662 and it is neck and neck with the jellyhead. You could buy either of those chokes and some Magblends and be set. Keep in mind the new magblends are getting bad reviews.

Here is my testing with a 24 inch barrel 870 super mag
Hevi-13 choke (0.662"): with 3.5 mag blend avg 190 pellets in 10" circle at 40 yds
Jelly head (0.665"): 3.5 mag blend avg 166 in 10" circle at 40 yards
Indian creek (0.665"): 3.5 mag blend avg 182 in 10" circle at 40 yards
Indian creek (0.660"): 3.5 mag blend avg 218 in 10" circle at 40 yards
Just my testing but my gun likes a tighter choke.

My best is the jelly head .660 if you can find one. Thinks it's been discontinued now in favor of .665. My gun also likes the tru-glo gobble stopper, believe it or not. Bought it for a backup, was 20 bucks and throws a tight in the middle, but we'll covered pattern at 40 y with 3 in hevi-6s and mag blends .

Kicks gt .660 with mag blends #5 or #6

Jelly head .660 in my 870 SM:
315-330 with hevi 7s
180-190 mag blends

My dad's 870 SM with .665 jelly head:
300-310 hevi 7s
195-210 mag blends

I use Kicks works good with federal mags.

Most factory chokes will kill any bird out there.. have any of you done a pellet count with a factory choke?

 

[stik]

Depending on the shell you shoot really

and the gun itself. shoot the same shell/choke out of 2 identical guns and your results will likely be different.

most 870's ive seen love jelly heads.

 

[muddyboots]

Rhino
Jellyhead
Kicks
Truglo

Any of the above.

I got a Comp~n~Choke in mine been getting 190 in a10" circle shooting mag blends

It really liked the Xtended range but can't get them anymore

 

[ZachMarkus]

Thanks guys. It came with a primos jelly head .665. I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet but if it does as good as y'all are saying I'm gonna keep it!

I have a .660 jelly head that's had about 6 rounds thru. Pm if interested.

The Jellyhead .660 and Remingtons were made for each other.
