Description
The JEBS Head Hunter Turkey Choke is one of those upgrades that changes how you think about range. Built for 12 gauge Remington-threaded barrels with a tight .655 constriction, this ported tube is designed to wring the absolute most out of your turkey loads, stacking pellets into a dense core that keeps working long after a factory choke has thrown in the towel. It has earned a world-record holding reputation among turkey hunters, and once you see a pattern board with this thing screwed in, you understand why.
What Makes the Head Hunter Choke Pattern So Tight
The secret is JEBS' patented multi-staged interior bore. Instead of one straight taper, the inside is machined in stages that help peel the wad away from the shot column cleanly. Better shot and wad separation means fewer fliers and a more uniform pattern, which is exactly what you want when you are counting pellets in a turkey's head and neck at 40, 50, even 60 yards. Hunters running TSS and premium lead loads regularly report pattern percentages that jump dramatically over their old setup.
Built From 17-4 Stainless and Ported for a Reason
JEBS machines the Head Hunter from premium 17-4 stainless steel, so it holds tight tolerances and shrugs off the weather you actually hunt in. The matte finish keeps glare down in the woods, and the porting near the muzzle end bleeds off gas to help settle the muzzle jump that comes with 3 and 3.5 inch magnum turkey rounds. Made in the USA, it threads into the standard Remington choke system found on 870, 1100, 11-87 and similar 12 gauge barrels.
A choke is only half the equation, so plan on spending an afternoon at the pattern board to find the load your gun likes best. Match the Head Hunter with a quality turkey load, dial in your sights, and you have got a rig that punches well above its weight when a longbeard hangs up out of range.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the JEBS Head Hunter .655 fit my Remington 12 gauge?
Yes. This tube is threaded for the standard Remington (Rem Choke) system, which covers popular 12 gauge models like the 870, 1100 and 11-87. If your barrel is stamped for Rem Choke, you are good to go. When in doubt, check what your factory chokes are threaded for before ordering.
What loads pattern best with the Head Hunter turkey choke?
The .655 constriction really shines with dense turkey ammo, especially TSS and premium lead turkey loads in #9, #8 and #7 shot. Because every gun is a little different, spend some time at the pattern board with a couple of load options to find the tightest core. Many hunters see a big jump in pattern density over their factory choke.
Why is this choke ported, and does the porting help?
The porting near the muzzle end vents gas to help calm the muzzle jump that comes with heavy 3 and 3.5 inch magnum turkey rounds. It takes a bit of the sting out of those stout loads so you can stay on target for a follow-up. It also gives the barrel that extended, business-like look a lot of turkey hunters like.
How far out can I count on the Head Hunter choke?
Paired with a quality turkey load and a properly sighted gun, plenty of hunters run this choke with confidence out to 50 and 60 yards. Your effective range comes down to your specific gun, load and how well it patterns for you. Pattern it first so you know exactly where your ethical limit sits.
