Turkey hunting comes down to putting a dense pattern on a bird's head at whatever range he decides to hang up, and this Carlson's TSS Turkey Choke Tube is purpose-built for exactly that. It carries a tight .640 constriction and threads into the MaraPro choke system used on most Retay 12 gauge shotguns, so it drops in and does its job without any fuss.
What makes this tube worth bolting into your turkey gun is how it's tuned for the new generation of turkey ammo. Tungsten Super Shot rides about 22 percent denser than heavyweight shot and roughly 56 percent denser than lead, which means more pellets carrying more energy downrange. This choke is dialed in to work with Federal Premium Heavyweight TSS loads and other small-shot turkey ammunition in the 7 to 9 range, packing the maximum number of pellets into a 10-inch circle at 40 yards. Hunters running it report seriously impressive patterns with Federal TSS 9 shot, and the tight core it throws is what makes clean headshots possible out to the far edge of ethical turkey range.
TSS pellets are small and hard, and they don't compress like lead, so a tighter choke helps wring out that dense center pattern the load is capable of. The .640 is on the snug end of the scale, which is what Federal's Flite Control Flex wad is designed to feed. Every gun patterns a little differently, so it's smart to shoot a few at a target before opening day to confirm your point of impact and see how your setup likes it.
This is an extended tube with a knurled end, so tightening it down or backing it out by hand is easy, and the extension sticks out about an inch past the barrel. The black-finished steel construction holds up shot after shot, it's made in the USA, and Carlson's backs it with a lifetime warranty. Just keep in mind it's meant for TSS and lead turkey loads, not steel shot.
This tube is cut for the MaraPro choke system found on most Retay 12 gauge shotguns, so it's the right pick if you're running a Retay. If your gun uses a different thread pattern like Remington, Beretta/Benelli Mobil, or Winchester, you'll want the matching version of this choke instead. Check your barrel or owner's manual to confirm your thread pattern before ordering.
It's optimized for Federal Premium Heavyweight TSS loads and patterns well with other small-shot turkey ammo in the 7 to 9 range. The tight .640 constriction pairs nicely with Federal's Flite Control Flex wad to throw a dense center pattern. It is not meant for steel shot, so keep it to TSS and lead turkey loads.
With quality TSS loads, this tube is capable of delivering tight patterns for clean headshots out toward 50 yards. That said, every gun and load combo patterns differently, so most hunters keep ethical shots inside 40 yards. Pattern your specific setup on paper before the season so you know exactly what you're working with.
Yes, it's an extended design with a knurled end that makes hand tightening and removal simple, and a choke wrench is included. The extension sticks out about an inch past the muzzle. The steel construction and black finish are built to hold up over a lot of hunts, and it's covered by a lifetime warranty.
