This is the pattern that I get from my xtrema, its going back to Beretta.

my dads sucks for turkeys... i doubt its the 100 dollar choke

If you are right handed, it appears that you need less cast in the stock. I don't know if those extremas come with shims like some of the benellis do or not, but it seems that your head/eye is lining up too far to the right of the bore... having your head too far/not enough over is the main cause of patterns that are not true to center.

Are you shooting from a bench or sitting? Or are you standing up and mounting the gun quickly as you would in the field?

Just a few thoughts before you send the gun packing so close to the season. Hope it comes around for you, the pattern doesn't look to terrible, just the placement of it.

I was shooting from a bench sitting. I have tried over the hood of my truck, and standing with the same results. I have never had a shotgun do this before. I have had the xtrema since the first year they came out. I just started loading my own shells so with that comes testing, this is how I figured my pattern was off. I will look into what you said, thanks for the info.

Was this the first time you had patterned your gun since you have had it? Or was this just the first time with your new reloads?

If you gun was not shooting like this before, and now suddenly is... then the answer is as simple as trying a different load.

If this is your first trip to the board with it however, then this may well have been happening all along and you didn't realize it. It may well be the fit of the gun, as aforementioned, but it may too be that the choke tubes are not installed correctly (read: squarely). Just like an insert in an arrow can be slightly askew, causing irradic arrow flight, so too can tubes be installed off center. More common with newer Remingtons and some other lower end models, but its not unheard of in the three Big "B" companies.

I have had this gun for a few years. Last year was the first year I loaded my own shells and I wanted to see how they worked. I wish I would have checked the pattern when I bought it, I have had lots of times that felt good but no dead duck.

Now when I buy a new shotgun the first thing I do is kill cardboard.

yeah you should send it back.

and while your at it pick up a benelli, lighter, more accurate, cleaner, prettier, everything you want.

Is that an Extrema II? Are you using lead, steel, bismuth, tungston? What if any buffer? What wad?What choke? Do you have a midbead?

Now I don't know exactly what you think is wrong, but what I see is the hole in your pattern. That hole is caused by something in the ammo (wad, buffer, shot,etc)and I would tryusing another kind of shell first.
