Every season, the challenge intensifies – wily gobblers, changing conditions, and the desire to make every shot count. If you're looking to maximize your Mossberg shotgun's potential and achieve denser, more consistent patterns at extended ranges, the HEVI-Choke Turkey Extended Range Ported Choke Tube is engineered to be your ultimate advantage. This premium accessory is specifically designed to revolutionize your turkey hunting experience, helping you achieve the precision and power needed for ethical, clean harvests.

The Hunter's Edge: Why Your Choke Tube Matters

In the world of turkey hunting, your choke tube isn't just an accessory; it's a critical component that dictates how your shotgun performs. A well-matched choke can transform your ammunition's spread, concentrating pellets into a tighter, more lethal pattern, especially at distances where lesser chokes fall short. The HEVI-Choke Turkey Extended Range is meticulously crafted to deliver that crucial edge, ensuring that more pellets reach your target with maximum energy, even when those elusive gobblers hang up just outside typical range. This choke tube is the answer for hunters asking, "How can I improve my turkey hunting success?" or "What's the best way to get a tighter pattern from my Mossberg 835 or 935?"

Introducing the HEVI-Choke Turkey Extended Range Ported Choke Tube for Mossberg 12 Gauge

The HEVI-Choke Turkey Extended Range (SKU: 450127) is a specialized choke tube developed by HEVI-Shot, a name synonymous with advanced ammunition technology. This particular model is built for 12 Gauge Mossberg 835 and 935 shotguns, ensuring a seamless fit and optimal performance. It's more than just a piece of metal; it's a precision instrument designed to complement the unique characteristics of HEVI-Shot ammunition, helping you squeeze every bit of performance from your shells.

Key Design Elements and Their Benefits:

• Gauge & Compatibility: Engineered exclusively for 12 Gauge Mossberg 835 and 935 shotguns. This precise compatibility ensures perfect alignment and consistent performance, a critical factor for tight patterns.
• Material Excellence: 17-4 Stainless Steel: This choke tube is machined from high-grade 17-4 stainless steel. Why does this matter to a hunter?
  • Exceptional Durability: 17-4 stainless steel offers superior strength and corrosion resistance, standing up to the harsh conditions of the field and the powerful forces generated by magnum turkey loads. This means your choke tube will maintain its integrity and performance season after season.
  • Longevity: Its robust construction ensures that it won't deform or wear prematurely, guaranteeing consistent patterns over countless shots.
• Constriction Type: Extended Range (.676 Constriction Diameter): The .676 constriction is specifically chosen for "Extended Range" performance. This tighter constriction is engineered to hold patterns together for longer distances, delivering a higher pellet count within your target zone downrange. It's ideal for situations where a gobbler might not come within typical close-range parameters, allowing for ethical shots out to 40-50 yards and beyond with the right ammunition.
• Ported Design: The HEVI-Choke Turkey Extended Range features a ported design, which provides several significant advantages for the hunter:
  • Reduced Muzzle Jump: The ports vent gasses, counteracting muzzle rise and keeping your barrel on target for quicker follow-up assessment and recovery.
  • Mitigated Recoil: By diverting gases, ported chokes can perceptibly reduce felt recoil, making your shooting experience more comfortable, especially with heavy turkey loads. This can lead to increased confidence and better shot placement.
  • Enhanced Pattern Consistency: While not its primary function, the gas redirection can subtly contribute to a more stable and uniform pellet exit, potentially aiding in pattern quality.
• Optimized for HEVI-Shot Ammunition: While this choke tube will perform well with various premium turkey loads, it is specifically designed to work in synergy with HEVI-Shot ammunition. This partnership unlocks the full potential of both components, delivering the most devastatingly dense patterns possible.

Why Choose an Extended Range Choke for Turkey Hunting?

The phrase "extended range" isn't just marketing; it signifies a specific capability tailored for challenging hunting scenarios. Here's when an extended range choke like the HEVI-Choke becomes indispensable:

• Wary Gobblers: Sometimes, a stubborn tom just won't come that last 10 yards. An extended range choke can ethically extend your effective reach, turning a frustrating hang-up into a successful harvest.
• Open Terrain: In fields or open woodlands, close encounters are less common. An extended range choke gives you the confidence to engage birds at greater distances.
• Precision and Ethics: Achieving a dense, lethal pattern at 40-50 yards ensures a humane kill. The HEVI-Choke Turkey Extended Range is engineered to put more pellets in the vitals, ensuring clean and ethical harvests.
• Maximizing Ammunition Performance: High-density turkey loads, like those from HEVI-Shot, truly shine when paired with a choke designed to hold their patterns together. This choke helps you get the most out of your premium ammunition investment.

Understanding Choke Constriction: The .676 Advantage

Choke constriction is measured by the interior diameter of the choke tube at its narrowest point. For this HEVI-Choke, the constriction diameter is .676 inches. This tight constriction is considered very aggressive for turkey hunting. The goal of such a tight constriction is to minimize pellet spread, keeping the pattern as dense as possible as it travels downrange. When paired with high-quality, dense turkey loads, this aggressive constriction can result in an incredibly tight core pattern, delivering a high percentage of pellets into the head and neck of a turkey, even at distances where open chokes would have already dispersed too widely. This is the secret to getting a "baseball-sized pattern" at 40 yards that turkey hunters often discuss.

Enhancing Your Hunting Experience: Beyond the Pattern

Beyond simply delivering a tighter pattern, the HEVI-Choke Turkey Extended Range contributes to a more enjoyable and effective hunting experience overall:

• Increased Confidence: Knowing you have the right equipment to make ethical shots at various ranges instills confidence in the field.
• Reduced Frustration: Less chasing after birds that hang up, more successful hunts.
• Investment in Success: This choke tube is an investment in your hunting success and your commitment to ethical harvesting.

Important Usage Guidelines and Safety Considerations

While the HEVI-Choke Turkey Extended Range is a powerful tool, it's crucial to understand its limitations and best practices:

• Ammunition Compatibility Warning: Extreme range choke tubes, including this one, are not recommended for steel pellets larger than BB or for loads with excessive speed exceeding 1550 fps. Using such ammunition with this choke can lead to choke damage or unsafe pressures. For those applications, a mid-range choke tube is recommended. Always check your ammunition's specifications and match them with the choke tube's recommendations.

• Pattern Testing is Key: Every shotgun and ammunition combination is unique. It is absolutely essential to pattern your shotgun with your chosen turkey load and this HEVI-Choke tube before heading to the field. Shoot at paper targets at various distances (e.g., 20, 30, 40, 50 yards) to understand your shotgun's effective range and to determine the optimal point of aim. This practice helps ensure ethical and clean kills.
• Proper Installation and Maintenance: Always ensure the choke tube is securely tightened into your shotgun barrel before firing. Regular cleaning and inspection will prolong the life of your choke tube and maintain its performance.
• Ethical Hunting: While this choke extends your potential range, always hunt within your personal and ethical limits. Only take shots at distances where you can confidently place a lethal pattern on the target.
