Is Carlson’s long beard XR choke tubes really worth the money?
I have a NEF Pardner pump with a 28 inch barrel. It takes a Mossberg500, browning invector style choke tube. I have a HS strut undertaker 665. on it currently for turkey hunting. Note this choke isn’t ported. The choke has done really well on killing Toms at 50 yards and further. I use 3 inch long beardXR shells #5 shot
I’ve heard a lot of talk about a Carlson’s long beard XR choke tube that’s specifically designed for this ammunition. Is it worth the 60$ to get this choke or should I just stick to my undertaker?

Yes. I shot a “compNchoke” tube with good results on my Win 1300 with hevi-shot & wingmaster HD for several years. Then I got a Carlson’s choke for my SBE II, as a back-up/loaner turkey gun to match a deal on Win LBXR shells.
My 1300 sports a Carlson’s tube now.
