There is different ways to port a choke and some aren't ported. It depends is still the same answer. One can be better than the other depending on all the other factors. Depends. Chokes that "stick out" are extended chokes. "felt" recoil is part of it but seprating the wad from load is another factor in porting possibly as well. Do you want this or not? Will it help or hurt your final pattern as it leaves the barrel? Depends.

Nothing wrong with NOT having a 40-50 yd turkey gun. If you're still in HS and are forced to bring 'em in to 30 yds with your setupjust think how good you'll be when you finish school, get a job, and set yourself up with the 50 yd killer. look out turkeys

It's fun to play around with all this but it does take $$. At the end of the day the gobbler over your shoulder doesn't care what kind of choke you had. Just find out how to put him over your shoulder with what you have.
