Forget the ones with choke tubes. What is the gun that shot the tightest for you right out of the box? For me it is a factory fresh 870 Competition.
Tightest Shooting Factory Choked Shotgun??

I watched an individual shooting a Savage made on the Browning A-5 patent win a number of card shoots. I do not know if it was factory but it had a Cutts Compensator and he was using the .680 tube. He really covered each card he shot.
My Remington 870 TC came with choke tubes and the super full tube shoots real tight. It has 55 points of constriction.
I have seen some unreal shots made with a Remington 870 Comp.

Rick,
Yeah......The old Century II Trapguns are my gun of choice. A one ounce Fed. paper from 30 yards shooting at a 30" circle, that 34" Century was getting 96% of the pellets in that circle. Did it several times patterning that gun that day, and having counted the pellets that my 600 jr. dropped in those shells, I know that has to be about the tightest trapgun out of the box. We call Century II trapguns "shrimp peelers" around these parts....'cause it could peel a shrimp from 60 yards.

My father had a Mossberg goose gun. It had, if I remember, a 42" barrel and I remember him using it to bring down snow geese that looked like sparrows to me. He said if they were any lower there wouldn't be anything left on them to eat!

The smallest diameter patterns I've ever seen were shot with a Winchester 97 with a taper bored barrel. Next was a side hammer Remington #9 full choked single barrel. Hap

my full choke browning sweet sixteen! tighter than my tm1.
If you run into a Rem model 10 that says "long Range" on the barrel It is tight as the come It checks the same as a 16 improved. I have a Win 97 that is a tight shooter but the 10 will beat it. The problem is you cant use it in a card shoot because a dime will cover the barrel

97s with the tapered bore chokes are scarce as hen's teeth! A machinist buddy is adapting one (I think a 32 inch) to a model 12 action for a fun gun.
Also, a few of the single shot Win. mod. 37s had a tapered bored choke too. Hap
