first off welcome to the world of turkey hunting and for the choke i shoot a kicks gobblin thunder .655 constriction with winchester extended range #5 shot this combo has always thrown great patterns for me but if your not wanting to spend that much on a choke the jelly head and the undertaker are both great chokes for the money..their is probably more out there but these are the only ones ive had
I use to use Winchester HV 3" #5's along with a Tru-Glo Strutstopper choke sized .665 years ago, but I'm a huge fan of Nitro hevishot loads and a Rhino .660 choke tube now.

There are alot of good chokes out there and the absolute best option is to try a few and see what patterns good for you. If you are looking for a good choke to try that isn't overly expensive, I am another big fan of the HS undertaker choke tube. It patterns great out of my Remington 11-87. Give it a try.

I agree on the choke. I have tried several different chokes in my 870 and have had the best luck w/ the regular Remington Super Full Turkey.

The stock Modified choke that I got with my 870 express is what dumped my turkey this year at 40yds. Flipped it completely over. You don't HAVE to spend extra money. However, you do have to pattern. So pattern first with what you have, if it isn't what you need, then buy something different.

I've got the 870 Super mag..and to me what is even more important was putting on the Gobbler Dot adjustable site..Then along wth my Tru Glo turkey choke I am now getting awesome patterns..I shoot 3 inch Remington Nitros
I also get incredible groups at 100 yds shooting 2 3/4 in Winchester slugs out of my umproved cylinder choke.
The 870 is the best shotgun I've owned.
