First, I just laid away an 870 Talo, which is basically the synthetic 870 express with tube extension and digital camo furniture. As I understand it this weapon uses a fixed choke and so a new barrel must be purchased in order to use various Rem chokes. Correct? (dealer was noncommital on that point)
Second, has anyone used the Remington rifled slugs in an Express synthetic for deer? If so, how are they? Accurate? Effective range? Knockdown? Most of my shots will be 75 yards or less when deer hunting. I'm trying to determine if the smooth bore Talo with a rifled slug is sufficient or if I should spring for a fully rifled 23 inch barrel. Thanks!
