My best advice would be to research choke tubes and go with the one you receive the most positive feed back from. Then you will have to pattern your gun with that tube and several different ammos [(size 3" and 3.5")(shot size BB,1,2,3,4)(powder 1.25oz., 1 7/8 oz.)] Sorry that I am not more help but all guns pattern differently even from one 870 to the next. Me personally I shoot a patternmaster (one of the old ones) and BBs most often. I like to kill em dead and not have to do any shooting on the water before the dog is sent to pick em up. Thats what works for me and my gun.

my favorite (I have a Briley, Patternmaster, and Kicks) is the Kicks High Flyer. Patterns the best for me. I shoot the Winchester Dry Loc #3.

My dad shoots a Briley and he loves his. I shoot a Carlson and I love the way mine shoots. The pattern, with the same shells, about the same...

The Patternmaster works the best out of my gun when shooting shot smaller than #2's. The Briley LM shoots BB and BBB the best out of the same gun.
