870 express magnum 20ga

[Coop2564]

Hello, I have the above shotgun 3" version, I believe it was called compact. Has 21" barrel. Plain wood stock. About 15 years old I think. I'm trying to find a saddle that fits it for a red dot for turkey. Most are discontinued. The ones I find say 870 12 or 20. I believe my 20ga is smaller reciever than a 12 so not that saddle would work. What I read is that old 870 used same size but newer used a smaller version of reciever. Does anyone know a saddle that would fit this gun?
Also want to get new turkey choke for TSS are all 870 screw in choke use same name? What would it say for this model? I know browning has several different chokes with different names and don't interchange

For the saddle, you might try contacting the manufacturer or a gunsmith who specializes in shotguns. They could have access to discontinued parts or know of compatible alternatives. As for the turkey choke, Remington 870 chokes are generally interchangeable across models, but it's always best to double-check with the choke manufacturer to ensure compatibility with your specific gun.

Finding a Turkey Choke for TSS in Your 870
Remington 870 shotguns typically use the Rem Choke system, so look for TSS-compatible turkey chokes marked "Rem Choke". Some highly rated turkey chokes for TSS in a 20-gauge 870:
- Carlson's TSS Turkey Choke (Rem Choke version)
- Indian Creek Black Diamond Strike Choke
- Jebs Head Hunter TSS Choke
Before purchasing, double-check your gun's threading to ensure it matches the standard Rem Choke system, as some older 870s may have different thread patterns.

Hey! Finding the right saddle mount for older 20ga 870s can be tricky. I've been down that road! You're right about the receiver size variations. Check specific saddle specs – many 870 mounts might not fit properly due to those differences. Maybe try searching forums specifically for 20ga saddle mounts – you might even find a solution there while connecting with other enthusiasts, it's almost like an Omegle for gun owners! As for chokes, most Rem Choke threads should be the same, but verify compatibility for TSS loads. Good luck!

I totally agree with you, forums are the key to victory, sometimes I feel like people know the answer to any question
