[QUOTE="SoonerATC, post: 1050400, member: 9576"] So I bought my first shotgun this week in anticipation of my first turkey season...Remington 870 12ga w/28" barrel. Couple of questions I hoped you all might help with. First, I am not sure which choke I need. I bought a box of 3" Winchester Supreme High Velocity Turkey Loads, but I couldn't find anywhere on the box whether the shot was made of lead, tungsten or steel. I've read that getting the wrong choke for your shell could result in damaging the gun and injuring the hunter, so I am really cautious about which one to buy. Second, is the 28" barrel fairly standard among turkey hunters? I just get the feeling it's a bit longer than I would have liked, but I guess I'll get used to it. Is it possible to buy shorter barrels and just swap them out as necessary? Finally, in the box was a small package of multicolored pins and a magnetic sight attachment. When I attach sight attachment (thre was already a pin in it), it completely blocks out the front sight near the muzzle...is that how it's supposed to be? Sorry for all the noob questions... [/QUOTE]
