Description
Tag a longbeard at distance and you'll understand why the choke on the end of your barrel matters more than almost any other upgrade. The Avian X AVXTKY01 is cut for the Remington 870 and 11-87 Rem Choke pattern in 12 gauge, running a .665 constriction that lands right in the sweet spot for turkey work. It's a middle-of-the-road squeeze that plays nice with a wide spread of loads, from affordable lead all the way up to premium tungsten, so you're not locked into one shell to get a killing pattern.
What Makes the AVXTKY01 Shoot Tight
The real story here is the internal design. Straight rifling inside the tube stops the wad from spinning, which keeps it from flinging pellets off course as the shot column exits. There's also internal groove technology that helps peel the pellets off the wad so your core stays dense where it counts, out at the head and neck. Radical porting bleeds gas away from the shot string, and castle cuts on the crown lock the choke tight in the barrel while giving that gas a fast exit. Add it up and you get a pattern that holds together at the longer ranges turkey hunting demands.
Load Flexibility and Build on the Avian X Turkey Choke
This one is rated for steel, tungsten, bismuth, and lead, which is a big deal if you like to experiment with TSS without buying a dedicated choke. Dense tungsten loads often pattern beautifully through a .665, and this tube is built to handle the pressure. It's machined from high strength tempered steel so it stands up to hot turkey loads, and the black PVD finish cuts glare, smooths things out, and makes cleaning carbon a lot less of a chore. A polished end face helps it seat and seal cleanly inside the barrel.
Pattern your gun before season at the max range you plan to hunt, try a couple different shells, and let this choke show you what your 870 or 11-87 is capable of.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Avian X AVXTKY01 fit my shotgun?
This choke is threaded for the Remington Rem Choke pattern used on the 870 and 11-87 in 12 gauge. If your barrel takes standard Rem Chokes, it'll thread right in. Always confirm your barrel's choke system before ordering, since Remington has used the Rem Choke pattern across many models.
What constriction is the AVXTKY01 and what loads work best?
It runs a .665 constriction, which is a versatile middle-ground squeeze for turkey hunting. That diameter patterns well with everything from lead to dense tungsten (TSS), and this tube is rated for steel, tungsten, bismuth, and lead. The best move is to pattern a few different shells and let your gun tell you which one it likes.
Is this choke good for TSS loads?
Yes. The .665 constriction is a popular choice for TSS because tungsten is so dense it often patterns beautifully without an extremely tight choke. The tempered steel build is made to handle high powered turkey loads, so running premium tungsten through it is no problem.
What does the porting and straight rifling actually do?
The straight rifling keeps the wad from spinning so it doesn't throw pellets off the pattern, while the internal grooves help separate the shot from the wad for a denser core. The porting and castle cuts route gas away from the shot string and out of the barrel quickly. Together they tighten your pattern and keep it consistent at longer ranges.
