This is my second year turkey hunting. I managed to take a gobbler last year but I am not completely satisfied with the pattern I have. My gun is an 870 Rem. Mag. the best pattern I get is with a 3 in. - 1 3/4- #6.I am using the factory extra full tube that came with the gun. Has anyone with the same gun found an after market tube and shell that shoots a good pattern.

I've got a TruGlo extended and ported for mine and it works great. Gotta really watch it inside 20 yards, though. Really tight there, easy to miss 'em.

I think this topic was just discussed in the last week.check the post back a couple of pages.
Welcome to the roost.

Hastings .665 with 3" mags & 2oz. of # 6
Comp N Choke .665 3" mags & 2oz. of #6 or #5 both work good out of my 870

out of my 1100 mag I use a hastings .660 with 3" mags, 2oz. of #6 or #5.

You already have the tube how many different loads did you try to get the best performance from you gun/tube combo?

I bought a turkey choke for 19.95 and it patterns very well, I think it is a little tighter than full..

I use the Mad Max Choke - Put a bird between you and 40 sure thing - Confidence in your guns performance is very important when hunting turkey - I purchased the choke because it looked good on the gun - 870 3inch 21 inch barrel - Boy was I shocked with the performance - I even purchased one for my dad's gun Browing Gold 12 Turkey Gun that I purchased him for Christmas one year - That same year he took two birds at over 55 paces - I was the witness These tubes will perform

birddog, i have a .660 maddmax on my beretta.
i killed one at 49 paces last year. some of these others on this board get a little upset when you shoot one over 40 paces. he!he!

I'll throw in another plug for the Tru-Glo Strut-Stopper turkey choke as well. At $49.95 this is the biggest bargin going. Great patterns right out to the 40 yard marker!!! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
