choke question
this year for turkey im going to use either my winchester model 12, or my mossberg 500. the winchester, the barrel is full choke, and the mossberg has screw in chokes. if i decide to get a turkey choke for my mossberg, is it worth it to get one?, how much further is my range with a turkey choke vs. a full?, and what are some turkey chokes you would reccommend?

RE: choke question
Full will get the job done fine. But to answer your question about how much more range you'd get, the answer is, it depends on the gun/choke/load combination. Full will get the job done great, as long as it's patterning good out to whatever range you want to shoot.

RE: choke question
Everything Rory/mo said is right. you can buy a less expensive exfull choke for your mosberg (undertaker from walmart is about $20) and it might not give you as good a range as the winchester with the full choke

You want to look at a .665 constriction for a 12 gauge. So you know I DO Not work for any choke company either, but can show you the resaults in my DVD "Learning the Ropes of Wild Turkey Hunting" and its all in color... |
RE: choke question
here is some testing at 40 yards with different shells and chokes. Can your 12 gauge Winchester toss a pattern like that at 40 yards ?
 heres a closer look at the best target  Now here is one with nitro loads..  Now you can see that this is a 20 gauge pattern not a 12 at 40 yards... Here's the range at the 40 yard mark  Here is the DVD if you want to see a bunch of patterns from a factory full and aftermarket chokes...  |
RE: choke question
You had better listen to Adrian. Get a turkey choke. I currently use a Jellyhead, but may try an Indian Creek this Spring.

RE: choke question
I would try an Indian Creek .660 and Hevi-13 3" #6 2oz in that Mossberg....you should be able to get a good pattern to 40 yards or farther.

RE: choke question
the indian creek looks real good but EXPENSIVE!
is their any choke that is less expensive but still good at 40 yards? becasue im in high school and dont have a job and dont have 2 nickles to rub together! |
