Best Turkey Choke


bloc004

Recommended Posts

I am looking for a turkey choke for my Benelli Super Nove 24" and am wondering what suggestions anyone has. I have seen mixed reviews for some of the cheaper ones, and looking for some opinions on here.

I have a Remington 870, and use a Carlson xtra full. Not the most expensive choke tubes on the market, but IMO they make a good product. The thing is, get a choke tube xtra full or tighter and shoot a few rounds through it and see if it patterns well. Just cuz it doesn't pattern well doesn't mean it's the choke either, you might have to change shells ( most of time the problem) to find out wich shell patterns the best.

I shoot an 870. I don't know the choke brand name, but I bought the cheapest Turkey Choke I could find, like $10-$15. I have shot 5 birds in 6 years, have not missed or lost a bird. From 10 feet away to 40 yards away. I guess my feeling is that the choke tube doesn't need special attention. Buy what's on sale. IMO.

Choke/gun/ammo performance is a very individualize thing. What shoots well in one guys gun may not in yours. That said certain high quality chokes tend to perform well in many guns with a wider variety of turkey loads. Some of these chokes that I fall back on are Comp n Choke, Kicks, Rhino and Primos Jellyhead. Now lots of chokes will give great patterns outside of this group. I also use Hastings, Tru Glo and HS Strut turkey chokes in some of my guns with very good results. Lots of other options out there that will work.

    • Sorry to hear that Duff. Will give my GSP's an extra scratch behind the ear for you guys today
    • Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.
    • yes sorry for your loss..  our dogs are always special...
    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
