Kick's Gobblin' Thunder choke tube in .665 will do the trick with #5 shot!

Remington's factory super full turkey choke shot pretty good out of both my Remington!!! I don't think you can go wrongwith that choke and a box of Winchester HV #5's

You'll get 15 different response for sure,and may be more confused than when you started.Most any of todays turkey chokes will work just fine.You will have to spend a little time,and more importantly some money on different shells,figuring out which load your gun likes with your choke,and determining your effective range.What works on 1 gun may not work with another.Personally I have shot my 870 super mag with several different chokes.The star dot shot better than a kicks,undertaker,mad max,or factory turkey choke in my gun.All but the factory choke were very effective past 40yds.My gun likes 3.5"Winchester HV #4's.Hope I helped.

The Remington Turkey Super Full tube is a .665 tube.Remington recomends a .675 tube for hevi-Shot but I shot 3 1/2 " #6 hevi-shot through it real well last year but 3" #5s shot just as well out of my wifes 870 using an undertaker .665 tube.
This year I will probably try the new Federal 3" with the flight control wad.They recommend a .665 to .675 tube

The factory turkey choke done really well in my 11-87.

I don't use it for turkey hunting much. I almost always use my BPS and I have a COMP-N-CHOKE XXX Full on it. I shoot 3.5'' Winchester XX 2 1/4oz #6's.

I just bought a NEW 10ga. and I will be buying a COMP-N-CHOKE for it.
