The Jellyhead is a good choke for $40-45. The Undertaker is another for $20. Both are hevi shot compatible. If you get an Undertaker, make sure you get the one that is hevi shot compatible, that is if you plan on using non lead shells.

RE: choke question
..........That might depend on what his definition of "kill groups" is. He might very well get a couple of pellets into a turkey head target at 60 yards, but I highly doubt that he is getting a "pattern" at that range with Remington Nitro Turkey Loadsof any shot size.
Another choke you might look into that is not usually noted is a Trulock choke tube. They make a pretty good choke for the money....should run anywhere from $38-$48 depending on whether you want the ported or nonported model.

RE: choke question
does ported mean it sticks out of the muzzle? becasue i want one that sticks out......they look awesome
No, it means it has the holes in it. Mainly to reduce recoil I believe.

RE: choke question
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.

RE: choke question
The difference that a top quality custom after market choke can make can be considerable! I've tried numerous chokes in several different turkey guns and by far, THE best ones I've found are the Indian Creek, Black Diamond Strike.
Its amazing how many #5's that a load of Hevi-Shot will deliver down range, even at 50 and 60 yards!
It may be some of the best money you spend on any of your turkey hunting gear.
Good luck and good shootin'
