Description
Turkey hunting lives and dies on the pattern, and the Avian X Crusher turkey choke is built to put as many pellets on the kill zone as possible. Machined for the Benelli Crio Plus thread pattern in 12 gauge, this tube carries a tight .665 constriction that reaches out and holds a dense, even spread well past the range where a factory tube starts to fall apart. If you run a Crio Plus barreled gun and want to stretch your effective range on a hung-up longbeard, this is the kind of choke that earns its keep opening morning.
What Sets the AVXTKY05 Crusher Choke Apart
The design is where this one gets interesting. Internal groove technology helps strip the wad away from the shot column early, so the pellets fly cleaner and stay grouped. Straight rifling keeps the wad from spinning, which cuts down on flyers and focuses more pellets right where you're aiming. There's also porting worked into the design to push exhaust gases away from the shot string, and castle cuts on the crown that lock the tube tight in the barrel while giving gases a quick exit. All of that adds up to the ultra-tight patterns Avian X built the Crusher system around.
Built Tough Enough for Modern Turkey Loads
This Benelli Crio Plus turkey choke is made from high-strength tempered steel, so it holds up to the punishment of heavy tungsten and premium turkey loads without complaint. The high-performance black PVD finish does double duty, smoothing the shot out and making cleanup far less of a chore after a long season. A polished end face helps the tube seat and seal properly inside the barrel for consistent performance shot after shot.
Load Flexibility for Any Turkey Rig
One of the best parts about the AVXTKY05 is that it's rated for steel, tungsten, bismuth, and lead. Whether you're running budget-friendly lead, hard-hitting TSS, or something in between, this choke is ready to pattern it. Head to the range, run a few shells through it at your hunting distances, and you'll know exactly where your gun prints before you ever sit down against a tree.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Avian X choke fit my shotgun?
This AVXTKY05 is cut specifically for the Benelli Crio Plus thread pattern in 12 gauge. If your barrel uses the Crio Plus system you're good to go. Double-check your barrel's choke pattern before ordering, since Benelli also made Mobil-threaded guns that use a different tube.
What constriction is the AVXTKY05 turkey choke?
It runs a tight .665 inch constriction, which is well into turkey-choke territory for a 12 gauge. That tight squeeze is what helps it throw the dense, concentrated patterns you want for head-and-neck shots at extended range.
Can I shoot TSS or tungsten loads through this choke?
Yes. The Avian X Crusher is rated for steel, tungsten, bismuth, and lead shot, so TSS and other tungsten loads are fair game. It's built from high-strength tempered steel to handle the pressure of modern turkey loads.
Do I really need to pattern my gun with this choke?
Absolutely, and it's worth the range time. Every barrel and load combo patterns a little differently, so shooting it at your expected hunting distances tells you exactly where your gun hits and how far out you can confidently take a shot.
