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 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.

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

I shot the tru glo SSX in my rem 20. It was extremely tight with with 8s and 9s. I switched to the factory full. Got plenty of wiggle room now. My 20ga. 1100 doesn’t have a bad recoil but will let you know you squeezed the trigger. I shot by BPS 12ga. one time with 3.5” mag blends. That’s all it took for me to switch to 3”. My 870 hurts with everything you put in it but is by far the best patterning and shoots where you put the bead.

Some man cards need to be collected in this thread I have a FIE O/U 12 gauge , it's a fairly light gun with no recoil pad . I rigged it for a turkey gun many years ago. It always would get your attention with "high brass" ammo. Mr. Turkey fixed me up with some 3" mach 2 , jacked up , TSS shells . With those blue bombs it gave kick a whole new meaning, it'll shake your fillings loose! I've never shot anything else even close . And you will notice the recoil when shooting at game. I'll hand you my man card .............. after you shoot it.

If it takes more than a 7-1/2 dove load, y’all are shooting them turkeys too far.

I shot a begum made a5 16 gauge with some high brass Rios one time that stomped my ass in the mud . I’d cry if I had to shoot a turkey load through it . Recoil ring probably wasn't set correctly . If it was , it needed a new recoil spring. A5s don't "kick" bad at all if the spring isn't fatigued and recoil ring is set correctly.

Some man cards need to be collected in this thread Hey I've shot a Ruger model one in 375 H&H magnum and it was a pussycat compared to a 3 1/2 magnum turkey load out of my Mossberg 835. It throws a great pattern but man do I hate to shoot that sucker at a piece of poster paper. Never notice the recoil when shooting a turkey however. Weird how what you are shooting at makes such a difference.

I’ve have 2 410 pumps. My dad bought me one when I was like 6 yrs old from Montgomery Wards. I thinks it’s a revelation with a full choke barrel. The other is a mossberg I got when my Father in Law died. It also has a full choke barrrl on it. This is the one I’m gonna carry with me. It’s a lot lighter then the older one.

I got ya. They had some sort of pump 410 at Walmart for 209$. Thought about getting it just to see but I’d love to have an o/u. My little single shot has a crap pattern with the federal 9s
