The Carlson's Long Beard Turkey Choke Tube is purpose-built for one job: helping your Browning Invector Plus 12 gauge throw the tightest, deadliest turkey patterns it can. It runs a .665 constriction and is machined from 17-4 stainless steel with a matte black, non-reflective finish, so it holds up to weather and hard use without shining back at a wary tom. This is an extended, ported design that reaches roughly an inch past the muzzle, and it was tuned specifically around Winchester's Long Beard XR loads with Shot-Lok technology.
The whole idea behind this choke is the pairing. Winchester's Long Beard XR shells keep the lead shot nearly perfectly round as it leaves the barrel, and this choke was cut to take advantage of that. The result is a dense, even core that stays lethal at ranges where a lot of turkey setups start opening up. Folks running this combo regularly report packing the head and neck of a target with pellets well past 40 and even out toward 60 yards, which is exactly what you want when a gobbler hangs up out of range.
The porting on the Long Beard Turkey choke lets gas escape near the muzzle, which helps cut down on felt recoil and muzzle jump. That matters when you are shooting stout 3 and 3.5 inch turkey magnums, since a lighter kick makes it easier to stay on target and keeps flinching in check. The extended body also gives you a longer parallel section that helps settle the shot column for a more consistent pattern.
This one is threaded for Browning Invector Plus 12 gauge barrels only, so make sure that matches your gun before ordering. It is built for lead turkey loads and is not meant for steel shot, slugs, or buckshot. Carlson's makes these in the USA and backs them with a lifetime warranty, so you can pattern it, hunt it hard, and trust it to hold up season after season.
This choke is threaded for Browning Invector Plus 12 gauge barrels, so it works in guns that use that pattern. Keep in mind Invector Plus is different from standard Browning Invector, so double-check your barrel markings or owner's manual before ordering. If your gun uses Invector Plus threads, you are good to go.
The choke is optimized around Winchester's Long Beard XR loads, and that pairing is where it really shines with those dense, long-range patterns. It will still cycle other lead turkey loads, but you will get the best results patterning it with the Long Beard shells it was designed for. It is worth trying a couple shot sizes to see what your barrel likes best.
This is a tight turkey choke built for lead shot, so steel is not recommended. Carlson's advises against steel shot larger than #4, along with slugs, sabots, and buckshot, through their turkey tubes. Sticking with lead turkey loads keeps the choke and your barrel in good shape.
Paired with the right Long Beard loads, hunters routinely report lethal, head-and-neck-filling patterns out past 40 yards and into the 50 to 60 yard range. Your actual effective range depends on your gun, the shell, and shot size, so pattern it on paper first. That range work tells you exactly where your setup stays deadly.
