Finally making the switch to TSS this year, looking for choke recommendations for Remington 11-87, 12 ga. and for a 870, 20 ga.

Polish the barrel and start with the factory full , you may not need to spend a penny on a after market choke.

Remington Super Full for each or IC 555(20ga) or IC 665(12ga).
83% of all statistics are made up.

I know it’s not the most popular or the biggest name out there. But, I’ve tried Jeb’s, IC, regular Remington chokes, and others I can’t remember. The best choke on my 870 20 ga for turkeys is the Truglo gobble-stopper. I bought it cheap at BPS, and didn’t expect it to out perform my higher priced chokes. But out of frustration I tried it, and it’s the best pattern I can get with tss, longbeard XR’s, or Federal heavyweights. (The optics that come with it are crap) https://www.truglo.com/firearms-choke-tubes/gobble-stopper-xtreme-choke-tube-combo.asp

The worst kicking gun I've ever shot was a 20" 870 with 3.5" TSS loads. I bet it was!

I hope your a big'un and can take a punch. The worst kicking gun I've ever shot was a 20" 870 with 3.5" TSS loads. Once was enough. Maybe I'm just a wus. I switched to a gas-operated auto. I patterned some TSS in my Stoeger 3020 (a semiauto) this past weekend and was truly shocked at the recoil. I swear that 20ga semiauto with TSS kicks harder than my 12ga Winchester 1300 (pump) with 3" Longbeards. I seriously wasn't prepared for the thump it gave me when I pulled the trigger.

And that was the case with Longbeards, Magblends and Hevi-13. That gun just likes that particular choke.

I’m about to pattern my backup turkey gun which is a Remington 1187 in 20ga. Thinking about getting liquored up before doing it and I don’t even drink! They’ll definitely put a hurting on you.

Some man cards need to be collected in this thread If I gotta shoot that 870 with 3.5 TSS loads repeatedly to keep my man card, you just need to tell me where to mail it. I'd rather kill turkeys than shoot up the woods flinching. I'll keep the Maxus, thank you.

I don’t like sharp recoiling rifles but shotgun recoil doesn’t bother me at all. I’ve been shooting 3.5” 12 gauge shells for a longtime but I’ll stick with my 243 for deer 😀

My 20 gauge is nothing like the 3 1/2” 12 gauge I used to shoot but I’m only shooting the 1 5/8 ounce load
