Just had a friend that bought one of these guns and he ordered a TRUGLO choke for it and brought it to my work to pattern it... IT DID GREAT for a inexpensive choke.. $17 i think he ordered it from them direct.. but for $20 or less it may be worth a try

I've never hear dof such a thing. Your using a Mod choke so a full choke is not any harder on the gun it only the way it forum the shot...

OK folks I have something to confess
. Primos named one of their chokes after me, the tightwad. Let me explain. When I first started sighting the gun in I used regular old #7 dove loads just to get on paper at 20 yards. I then moved back to 40 yards and shot some Winchester 3&1/2", #6s. The patterns were terrible. I did this thinking that the difference between the Winchesters and the Hevy 13 #7s couldn't be that much after doing some post from you all there is a huge difference between the two. I'm going out tomorrow with my Hevi 13s and shoot it again at a much larger target and see what happens. I wonder if I can get more Hevi 13 #7s within a week? I know, I know, I should have known better and sighted in with what I intend to hunt with

I shoot the Rem 870 sup. mag myself and love the tight patterns I get with many dif. shells. You might have some luck contacting the manufacture and finding out what they recommend for your shotgun in order to get the best pattern.

If he's shooting a Winchester gun, I could all but guarantee what they would recommend...Winchester Supreme Extended Range. Their priciest shells. They are some pretty good shells, though. I got decent patterns out of them...when I patterned for my gun they came in 4th...behind 1)Rem Wingmaster HD # 6's, 2) Hevi-13 # 7's, 3) Hevi-13 # 6's. They all patterned better than the lead loads I tried out.
