Choke Tube?
Hi guys i just bought some hevi shot for my 870 12 ga. and i was wondering what choke tubes you might recomend for it . i was lookin at the hevi shot one but its' really expensive. if you had any others that you thought might be good let me know.

If you have $75 or more laying around, go with the Indian Creek or Pure Gold. If you have $40-$50, go with the Jellyhead. If you want a good choke for a low price, go with the HS Undertaker. You can get the hevi shot Undertaker for $19.99. Make sure you get the hevi shot one though if you go with the Undertaker. Primos also makes the Tight Wad for about $25 to $30.

Im shooting the 3" 2oz hevi shot magnum blend with the #5,6,7 shot in a shell.And Out of my mossberg 930 autoloader,I use the Primos tightwad in .660 constriction.The patterns out to 30-35 yrds i cant even count the kill holes in turkey target.Tight wad .660 in remington works great in my 870 and 11-87 with hevi shot also!Who would figure a choke so cheap.But i did notice the patterns were not so great in those guns using other then hevi shot!
Hope this helps,good luck..

Indian Creek, Black Diamond Strike.... why not own the choke tube that holds several World Records ?!? The BDS choke combined with Hev-shot,.... there simply isn't anything that shoots like it!

FWIW-I've taken almost all my birds with nothing more than Mbergs factory tubes (full in the 500/28" barrel,835 with the Ulti Mag choke/24" barrel) and 2 3/4"/ 1 3/8 oz reloads.Somehow turkey hunting has become big business with folks trying to sell you expensive,specialized equipment you really don't need.I've nothing against the stuff but you can do the job without it.
