I use a mid-range Patternmaster choke on my Remington 1187 Super-mag with 3" 2 oz. #6 Hevi-13 shot. I like the Patternmaster mid-range choke because the pattern is acceptably dense at 40 yds but not overly so. The super-full turkey chokes are great if your aim is perfect but they make it a little too easy to miss for my taste, especially given the habit gobblers have of coming in from unexpected directions. I use TruGlo adjustable sights. When I sight in (as opposed to patterning) each year, I use dove loads at 8 yds. The dove loads are cheap and don't kick much, and the close range keeps the pattern small so you can adjust the sights with precision.
