    Default Remington 870 Question

    I recently purchased my wife a youth model 870 in 20ga, I bought some federal power shok rifled slugs for it, on the box it says for use in smooth bore shotguns, I am wondering which choke if any I should put in it for her and if anybody has shot this combo before. I plan to buy a rifled barrel once she gets more into hunting, but I'm hoping this setup will get her started.

    Yup Improved cylinder choke. Does this gun have rifle sights on it, or just a bead?? If not, you should really consider getting a slug barrel for it(it doesn't need to be rifled)it will improve accuracy a lot.

    Just a note, I am also using Rem sluggers outta my 20 gauge 870.

    When you do end up with a rifled barrel, you'll need to buy some type of sabot's. Sluggers do not shoot very well from a rifled barrel.
