Call Comp-N-Choke! They make a great Choke! They will run you about $55 or so! But well worth it!

I just went to the Mossberg web site, they sell them there. They have a Ported Turkey tube, for lead shot only, for $36.00

They also sell an X-Full tuber for $15.00. I would think that that would be all you need.

Check that out..

Hey Laura, I have a Mossberg 500 20 ga. and use just a Mossberg Full choke in it. I think I got it for $10 or $15 at Walmart.

I'll second that. Call Comp-N-Choke (http://www.comp-n-choke.com/) and ask for Chuck Boswell. He will set you right up with exactly the tube you need for your application. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif Tell him I sent you.

Look for a Star Dot .676 . I have one for my 835 and it's a DEMON beyond 40 yards, not to mention considerably less priced than other brands. I get 60 BB's in the kill zone at 25 yards and 22 in the head @ 40 yards, can't ask for much more IMO. By the way, I picked mine up brand new on ebay for $15 shipped. A lot of serious turkey hunters I talk to, not just locals either compare it to the Gobblin Thunders as well as Comp N Chokes, only they cost a fraction of those 2. Did I mention it was voted choke of the year for 2004 by Turkey &amp; Turkey Hunting mag?

For the record, I got an excellent pattern out of my stock turkey choke too, the 2 gobblers it has killed past 40 yards can attest to that. But it definitely tightened up with the new choke in.

Thanks Again! I'm checking out the Comp-N-Chokes site now. Star Dot .676 never heard of it, I'll have to find out more about it though! "60 BB's in the kill zone at 25"

You don't want a .676" for a 20ga. That's a 12ga. diameter.

I think you can do better. http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif At 25 yards, the kill zone should disappear into one ragged hole.

Another good option would be Hastings chokes. My daughter's gun sure likes hers. I think it's a .556 or somethng like that. Hasting did very well at the NWTF stills as well this year.

I'm sorry, I must rephrase that, 60 BB's in the head itself, that is my kill zone. I don't aim for the base of the neck like alot of guys do, I am for the head itself. As you mentioned, the head and neck all together is basically shredded, so I really couldn't give you an overall accurate count.

As for the .676, I wasn't really sure what sizes were to what gun. I had assumed that it was a 12 gauge size. I archery hunt for turkey 99% of the time so I have never really felt the need for an all out turkey gun till about last year, then I decided I wanted to have a mean machine just in case I do decide to hunt with the gun again.

Don't worry I quickly found out that I 676. was for a 12 gauge. No harm done.
I'll add hasting to my list as well!
Thanks,
