Turkey Hunting Whether it's spring or fall doesn't matter to this bunch. Great tips on calling, bustin flocks, using blinds and more.

Default SPS Choke and Shell Combination

Just purchased a Remington SPS-T and was wanting to get some opinions on Choke and Shotgun Shell combo's that work. I have the Xtra Full that came with the gun. I am thinking about buying the Jellyhead. Any Remington SPS owners wanting to share what setup they've patterned and what they use.

Default RE: SPS Choke and Shell Combination

I have an Remington 870 SPS-T and love it! I have tried the Jellyhead and the Tru Glo Strut Stopper Xtreme chokes in the gun and they both pattern pretty closely. If you are looking for a fairly decent priced choke, then I would go with either one of these. I have read over on the NWTF website that several guys are getting upwards of 200 pellet hits in a 10" circle with a Indian Creek choke shooting Hevi-13 3" #6 shot. If a super tight pattern is what you are after, then that might be what you want. The Indian Creek choke runs around $75 while the Jellyhead runs around $45 and the Tru Glo SSX runs around $35.

Yep and if you get too tight with the pattern it makes missing up close more likely.I like the Jellyhead I have on my 870 so well I bought one to go with the Xtrema I bought today.
