870 Remington tactical

[cdnred]

I went to lebarons on Friday after work and pick up my new 12g 870 remington tactical, it's a pretty sweet set up threaded 18.5" barrel xs ghost ring sights can't wait to hit the range and and pattern it for turkey season

Can you shoot slugs through the adjustable choke? I have seen different answers on this and was wondering if anyone really knows from experience (numerous slugs down a barrel with removable choke.)? Congrats on the sweet shotgun by the way!!!

yup i shoot lots of slugs through my 870 tactical and if you buy a rifled choke tube you can fire all the sabot slugs also it will take any of the rem chokes

most slugs can be fired through a full choke if you really want to.. they will deform more and probably take a hit in the accuracy department though

Yes you can I use a mod. extended sporting clays choke with no problem.

I took off that stupid extended "tactical/breeching?" choke and put in a modified cylinder choke. Have put slugs through it a few times with no problems.

I have heard horror stories of removable chokes going downrange with rifled slugs. I haven't had the nerve to try it with mine yet, but I think I will.

Make sure the choke is threaded tightly with a wrench or tool and I am sure there will be no problem.

Just make sure to tighten the choke in good and tight.

I have put tons of slugs (rifled and hollow point) through my Benelli M4 with removable choke, both a cylinder bore choke as well as the factory modified choke, and no problems.

I have heard that slugs achieve their greatest accuracy when using an improved cylinder or modified choke because of the slight squeeze acts as a muzzle crown of sorts, but haven't been able to verify this with my own testing.
