Choke tube for an 870

[RangerRiz]

I would like some opinions on different brands of choke tubes to shoot nontoxic shot in my 870.  I am looking to buy two: one for turkey and one for coyote.  I will most likely  shoot hevi shot if that makes a difference. I have experience with a shotgun and lead shot but have never used any nontoxic.  I was told by a friend that is you are going to shoot nontoxic shot you should use an extend choke. I would appreciate any opinions.


Thanks Justin

I use a Carlson Extended Turkey Choke .670 Dia.  It holds a very tight pattern at 40 yards with #5 Hevi Shot.  For coyote I just use a full choke and #4 buck.  The new Hornady Varmint Express #4 Buckshot patterns well but I have yet to test it on a coyote.  Shotgun is a backup to the .223 or .243.

Thanks old man! Will save me the price of shells. But I will never get a Florida tripple slam with just one shot either.

I prefer Briley chokes over all the rest so most of mine wind up being Briley but really I doubt you'll be able to tell a whole lotta difference for most uses. For shooting the .410 at Skeet which is my main gun for it I'd have nothing else but Briley tubes for the job. When you area smoking the targets with a .410 you know your choke tube and load are doing their job.
