Master Your Turkey Hunt: Unlocking Precision with the Head Hunter Rem Choke 12 Gauge .660

For the dedicated turkey hunter, success hinges on precision. Every shot counts, and an ethical harvest demands a pattern so dense and consistent that it leaves no room for doubt. If you've ever questioned your shotgun's performance in the field, or struggled to achieve the knockdown power you need at critical ranges, then the EAR JPC12A1/660 Head Hunter Rem Choke 12 Gauge Turkey Matte Black .660 is the essential upgrade you've been searching for. This isn't just another choke tube; it's a meticulously engineered tool designed to transform your 12-gauge Remington shotgun into the ultimate gobbler-getting machine.

Who Needs This Choke? Elevating Your Turkey Hunting Game

This choke tube is specifically crafted for serious turkey hunters who demand peak performance from their Remington 12-gauge shotguns. Are you constantly looking for ways to tighten your patterns? Do you own popular Remington models like the 870, 1100, 11-87, or Versa Max and want to maximize their turkey hunting potential? Are you an ethical hunter committed to clean, decisive kills at ranges from up close to 50 yards or even beyond? If you answered yes to any of these, then the Head Hunter Rem Choke is built for you. It addresses the common frustrations of inconsistent patterns, lost birds due to inadequate shot density, and the desire for extended effective range.

The Science of the .660 Constriction: Why It Matters for Turkeys

At the heart of the Head Hunter's performance is its precise .660 constriction. But what does a .660 choke mean for your hunting success? In simple terms, this measurement refers to the internal diameter of the choke tube at its muzzle, a critical factor that dictates how tightly your shot pellets are compressed and how they exit the barrel. For turkey hunting, a tighter constriction is almost universally desired to achieve the densest possible pattern, ensuring more pellets strike the vitals (head and neck) of a gobbler.

The .660 constriction represents a carefully calculated balance. It's tight enough to deliver an incredibly dense core pattern, concentrating the majority of your pellets into a lethal swarm capable of anchoring a tough tom. Yet, it's also designed to maintain sufficient pattern uniformity, preventing "holes" or gaps in the pattern that could lead to missed birds or crippled turkeys. This specific constriction excels with modern high-performance turkey loads, including heavy lead, copper-plated, and especially Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) ammunition. TSS, with its smaller, denser pellets, benefits immensely from a tight choke like the .660, allowing for an incredibly high pellet count within a tight kill zone, extending effective range significantly. When you ask "What's the best choke for maximum turkey patterns?", the .660 Head Hunter consistently delivers.

Seamless Integration: Designed for Your Remington 12-Gauge

The "Rem Choke" designation isn't just a label; it signifies direct compatibility with a wide range of Remington 12-gauge shotguns that utilize the RemChoke interchangeable choke system. This includes, but is not limited to, the legendary Remington 870 Express and Wingmaster, the versatile Remington 1100 and 11-87 semi-automatics, and the modern Remington Versa Max. Installation is quick and straightforward, allowing you to easily swap out your factory choke for the Head Hunter and immediately experience an upgrade in performance. You don't need specialized tools or gunsmithing expertise; simply unscrew your existing choke and screw in the Head Hunter. This ease of use means more time in the woods and less time fiddling with equipment.

Built for the Wild: Durability and Stealth

The EAR Head Hunter Rem Choke isn't just about performance; it's built to withstand the rigors of turkey season. Crafted from high-grade 17-4 stainless steel, it offers exceptional strength and resistance to corrosion, ensuring it will perform reliably season after season. This robust material can handle the intense pressures generated by magnum turkey loads without degradation, maintaining its precise constriction over time. The matte black finish further enhances its utility, minimizing glare and reflections that could alert wary gobblers. This stealthy, non-reflective coating ensures you remain unseen, allowing you to focus on the shot when the moment arrives.

Optimizing Your Shotgun's Performance: Real-World Scenarios

• "How do I achieve tighter patterns for turkey hunting?" The .660 constriction of the Head Hunter is engineered precisely for this. Its internal geometry is designed to strip the wads cleanly and compress the shot charge effectively, leading to a much denser and more uniform pattern compared to standard or even "turkey" chokes with larger constrictions.
• "What's the ideal choke for a Remington 870 12 gauge for turkey?" For the Remington 870, the Head Hunter Rem Choke with its .660 constriction is an outstanding choice, especially when paired with modern turkey loads. Its performance will allow your venerable 870 to reach its full potential in the turkey woods.
• "Can this choke improve my turkey hunting range?" Absolutely. By concentrating more pellets into a tighter pattern, the Head Hunter effectively extends your ethical kill range. While shot placement is always paramount, a denser pattern increases the probability of multiple pellets striking vital areas even at longer distances, turning 40-yard shots into high-confidence engagements and making 50-yard shots plausible with the right ammunition.
• "What ammunition works best with a .660 choke?" The .660 constriction generally shines with premium turkey loads, particularly those containing buffered lead shot, copper-plated shot, or the incredibly dense Tungsten Super Shot (TSS). Experimentation is key, but many hunters find exceptional patterns with 3-inch and 3.5-inch shells loaded with 1-3/4 oz to 2-1/4 oz of shot in sizes #4, #5, #6 lead, or #7, #9 TSS. Always pattern your chosen load with the choke before heading to the field.
• "How does an extended choke tube benefit me?" The Head Hunter is an extended choke tube, meaning it protrudes slightly beyond the muzzle of your barrel. This design offers several advantages:
  • Improved Patterning: The extended portion allows for a longer, more gradual taper, which can result in more consistent and uniform patterns.
  • Barrel Protection: It acts as a sacrificial buffer, protecting the delicate rifling and crown of your shotgun barrel from bumps and dings in the field.
  • Easier Installation/Removal: The extended portion provides more surface area for gripping, making it easier to install and remove, even in cold or wet conditions.

When you equip your Remington 12-gauge with the EAR JPC12A1/660 Head Hunter Rem Choke, you're investing in more than just a piece of metal. You're investing in confidence.
