I got a Remington 870, light contour bbl, 26 ", 12 gauge shotgun that I bought new four years ago. The gun came with IC, Mod, and Full chokes. It has been a great gun for the New England grouse woods. ("partridge" to the locals).
Now, I got the hankering to adapt this shotgun to shooting Foster type slugs for occasional deer shooting. No, I don't want to buy the extra deer bbl with rifle sights. Just want to use the existing front bead sight for my slug shooting. So, I headed to the range with Remington Slugger slugs and some Winchester Super-X slugs to give it a try. I tried the different brands thru all three chokes. Results ?, Well the good news is good, consistent groups on the 50 yard line. The bad news is that all the choke/load combinations through my group about one foot to the left of the aiming point. Elevation right on, but windage way off !!
Question: Is there some choke tube that might move my bullet holes about a foot starboard on this gun ??
