this turns out to be a question best answered by the gun its self. the barrel you end up with, might pattern differently than someone elses with the exact same setup. you will have to experiment with several different loads and chokes before your satisfied. start with the full choke that comes with your barrel and work from there. factory rem chokes dont cost too aufull much, try the xx-full . still not happy? go to after market, or take it to someone to have barrel work done to get the pattern you want.
