I shoot a Comp-N-Choke .655 thru my Remi 870. Shoots good with any type of ammo EXCEPT HeviShot. Kicks and CNC are not designed to shoot HeviShot. But they work great with good ole copper-plated lead!! I tried the Undertaker HeviShot and wasn't too impressed. The new Federal with Flight Control worked great with my CNC.

I am shooting #5 Hevi Shot out of my Super X-2, with the Tru-Glo.It gets the job done...

I also have the Briley super turkey, Mad Max, UnderTaker,Kicks Gobbling thunder, and one of the Hastings tubes. The tru-Glo shoots the best. The other ones are all about the same.Just my $.02

If you're going to plan on shooting #6 or #5 shot, go with a XXX-Full or .655" tube (I'll reccommend the Comp-N-Choke).

If you're leaning toward #4 or #5 shot, the get a XX-Full tube.............again a C-N-C.

If I was going to spend the money and buy just one choke to use...I'd also go with the comp-n-choke.

I wouldnt recommend the tru-glo unless you are going too shoot hevi-shot. I know....with my and my fathers gun anyways the kicks GT shoots much better patterns, with lead. I love my Kicks Gt .655 shoots amazing patterns and have taken birds better than 50 yards...and am comfortable at 60+. Shooting Winchester #5's 3.5 inch

Comp-n-Choke and Kick's are both owned by the same company. Chuck Boswell is the owner. Never shot the Comp-n-choke, but I have heard nothing but good stuff about the Kick's. Personal preference plays a big part. I'm a Rhino man myself, go figure.

Ever given thought to a Hastings choke tube? I've had good luck with them.

I have several Benelli's. The kick's GobblinThunder .655 works great. Winchester Supreme #5's or 6's. If you really want to see it perfrom, get a Rhino in .660 and Nitro's heavy shot #4x5x7 stock #H51013. It's worth the money if your serious about turkey. Good luck. Let me know how it does, I'm a Benelli fan.

I shoot the same gun you have.I use a H.S undertaker.It patterns very well with 3 1/2 #6 #5 Hevishot [rem] and Win Supreme 3 1/2 #6 #5 #4.It did not shoot the new Feds very well.After this season I am purchasing a Rhino .660 and the above shot that ketchum suggested.

Lots of good choke tubes. It all depends on what your gun likes. I've had excellent results with the tru glo strut stopper(not the gobble stooper) tube design by Banser, hastings tubes and the H.S.Undertaker tube(not Hevishott version). The Undertaker was the pickiest by far only shooting #6 shot well. The others shot several combo well.

My next choke will be a comp n choke. Just have heard so many good reports that I have to add one to my new gun. Prices for the chokes I have range from $20-$55.

Good Luck!

Seems alot of people love the Comp-N-Choke .655.

I have a couple of comp-n-chokes, in my opinion they don't shoot as well as Kick's GT.

Take alook at this pattern target I shot while using the Rhino .660 choke and 3" Nitro hevishot loads out of my 1300. Before getting this combo two seasons ago, I tried the: Hastings, NU-Line, Winchester factory chokes, Kick's, and Tru-Glo choke tubes along with many brands of turkey loads. But I still ended up with a lot of holes in my pattern target at 40 yards. I just wished that I would of bought the Nitro/Rhino combo way back when and I would of saved a lot of money, time, and frustration. Expensive, yes, but well worth the investment in the long run if you ask me.
