I am an avid deer hunter and have shot turkeys with my .270 while hunting deer, but now I want to do some serious turkey hunting.
I have a new 870 express that I bought last year and have not even cleaned out the factory oil. My cousin, who is an avid turkey hunter, said I should get a full or extra full choke for turkey and use either number 4 or 6 shot. He did not have an opinion on steel vs lead shot.
He said my shotgun should have come with a modified choke installed and a wrench to remove it. I did not get a wrench, and I see something in the barrel that looks like a sleeve but not like the aftermarket chokes I have been looking at lately. I would like to stay below $30 on a choke, since my shotgun only cost about $279 new. Like I said, I know a lot about deer rifles but next to nothin' about shotguns. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
