Home Forums Birds & Dogs Turkey Hunting What is your favorite choke?

Totally agree, I sometimes find myself using/liking the feel of a youth sized rifle or shotgun.
As a matter of fact my wife has a youth 870 20 gauge with an 18" vr barrel I really like carrying in my backpack when I'm hiking

40 yards with a 22" 1187

Holy fuc.... a 20 with tss .... damm

Indian Creek in my Beretta and Comp-n-Choke in my Winchester. Both perform well.

Whatever came with the NWTF Browning Gold I bought several years ago. If not that, then a Trulock Full choke for my 10 ga.

I have a Primos Jelly Head in 3 shotguns now for turkeys. I haven't tried to find a "better" one because I don't need to. I've shot birds now at 49 yards with a 20 and 50 something with a 12. Plenty far.

My longest shot was last year on a my biggest tom. the shot was 55 yards. (I had to look it up) There was almost no chance of getting him closer. I had tried for a while. I was using a Benelli M2 12ga with Primos Jelly Head Choke and a 3" Hevi-shot Mag blend. I do remember that he was very dead when I shot. Not any different than when they were closer.

My longest shot with a 20ga was 49 yards a few years ago. I didn't think the shot was that far, as he was closer when I was going to shoot, but he wouldn't come out of full strut, so I waited. I thought he was about 40. That was with a Remington 870 Express, 20 ga, with a Primos Jelly Head Choke, Hevi-shot #5's.

I MUCH prefer to get them in close because I like the game. Those 2 were the exception. The closest was 7 yards, with Remington Nitro-Mag #5's.

NAILED IT! Yes.

That said, I've had Hevi-shot 13 #5's shoot great in every 20ga I've tried them in. No matter the model of 20ga. I've had some finicky guns/chokes over the years though!

Mag-Blend makes my Benelli look like a slug gun at 20 yards.
