Turkey hunting comes down to putting a dense wad of pellets right where the neck meets the head, and that is exactly what the Carlson's Long Beard XR Turkey Choke Tube is built to do. This extended, ported choke runs a .650 constriction for 12 gauge Beretta and Benelli Mobil pattern barrels, and it was designed hand in glove with Winchester's Long Beard XR ammo and its Shot-Lok technology. Pair the two and you get patterns that stay tight and lethal well past the distances a factory choke can manage.
The secret is in the geometry. This tube uses a longer parallel section, roughly 25 percent longer than standard, which settles the shot column down and throws denser, more uniform patterns downrange. Carlson's puts real numbers behind it too: paired with the recommended Winchester Long Beard XR loads, the .650 tube averages around 182 pellets in a 10 inch circle using 3 inch #6 shot at 40 yards. That kind of density is what turns iffy 45 and 50 yard birds into clean, ethical shots.
Machined from 17-4 heat treated stainless steel with a matte black finish, this choke shrugs off the heavy, buffered payloads turkey loads dish out. The ported design helps tame some of that stout 3 inch magnum recoil, and the extended body makes it easy to grab and swap by hand at the truck. It is made in the USA and backed by Carlson's lifetime warranty, so it is a buy once and forget it kind of piece.
While it shines with Long Beard XR, this choke also handles lead, nickel plated, copper plated, Bismuth, Tungsten, and Hevi-Shot, along with steel shot smaller than #4. Every barrel and load combo patterns a little differently, so do yourself a favor and spend an afternoon at the range patterning your gun before opening morning. Find the load your setup likes best and you will know your effective range cold when that tom hangs up just out of the decoys.
It is cut for 12 gauge barrels that use the Beretta and Benelli Mobil thread pattern, sometimes just called Mobilchoke. That covers a lot of popular Beretta and Benelli semi-autos and pumps built around that system. If you are not sure what your barrel takes, check your owner's manual or the markings on your factory choke before ordering.
No, but that pairing is what the choke was tuned for and it is where you will see the best patterns. The tube also handles lead, nickel or copper plated, Bismuth, Tungsten, and Hevi-Shot, plus steel shot smaller than #4. Avoid steel larger than #4, slugs, sabots, and buckshot through any Carlson's turkey choke.
With the recommended Winchester Long Beard XR loads it averages roughly 182 pellets in a 10 inch circle using 3 inch #6 shot at 40 yards, which is plenty dense for clean kills. Plenty of hunters stretch that out toward 50 yards once they confirm their pattern. Every gun is different, so pattern yours to nail down your true effective range.
Yes, it is a ported, extended design. The porting bleeds off some gas to help settle muzzle jump from stout turkey loads, and the extended body makes it easy to install and remove by hand. It is machined from 17-4 stainless steel and backed by Carlson's lifetime warranty.
