Carlson's built this one around a simple idea: match the right choke to the right turkey load and let the pattern do the talking. It's an extended, ported tube with a .568 constriction, tuned specifically to squeeze the most out of Winchester's Long Beard XR loads with their Shot-Lok payload. That combo keeps pellets rounder as they leave the barrel, which translates to a denser core and more pellets on the target where it counts. This particular model wears Mobil threading, so it drops right into Beretta and Benelli 20-gauge barrels.
The secret sauce here is the parallel section, which runs about 25% longer than a standard tube. That extra length settles the shot column down before it exits, cutting down on pellet deformation and shortening the shot string. The result is a tighter, more consistent pattern at the ranges where a spooky longbeard tends to hang up. Carlson's rates the pairing at roughly 150 pellets in a 10-inch circle using 3-inch #6 shot at 40 yards, and plenty of hunters report clean kills well past 50.
It's machined from 17-4 stainless steel with a black finish, so it shrugs off the wet, muddy mornings that come with spring turkey season. The porting up front helps tame muzzle jump, which matters more than you'd think when you're threading a bead through a scope or red dot on a tom's head. Everything is made in the USA and backed by Carlson's lifetime warranty.
A couple of things worth knowing before you thread it in: this tube is designed for lead shot, and no steel shot larger than #4 should run through it. If you're serious about reaching out and want your 20-gauge to punch above its weight, this is the choke that turns those Long Beard XR shells into a genuine long-range setup. A choke wrench comes in the box so you can swap it in and hit the patterning board before opening day.
This model uses Beretta/Benelli Mobil threading, so it fits 20-gauge Beretta and Benelli barrels that take Mobil-style chokes, along with other guns built to the same pattern. Carlson's makes the same Long Beard choke in Winchester/Browning Invector, Invector Plus, and Remington Rem Choke threads if your barrel is different. Always match the thread pattern to your specific barrel before ordering.
It's tuned specifically for the Long Beard XR loads and their Shot-Lok payload, which is where it patterns best. That said, it's still a tight turkey constriction that will throw good patterns with other lead turkey loads. The smart move is to pattern a few different shells and let your gun tell you which one it likes.
This tube is built for lead shot, and Carlson's specifies no steel shot larger than #4 should be used in their turkey chokes. For turkey hunting that's rarely a limitation since most hunters run lead or tungsten-based loads anyway. If you need a dedicated steel-shot choke for waterfowl, look at a different tube designed for that job.
The porting near the muzzle vents gas to help reduce muzzle jump and felt recoil. On a lightweight 20-gauge turkey gun with heavy loads, that little bit of muzzle control makes it easier to stay on a longbeard's head when you're aiming through a sight or optic. It doesn't change the pattern density itself, but it makes the whole package more shooter-friendly.
