(For turkey hunters who demand unparalleled precision and performance from their 12-gauge Mossberg 835 or 935 shotguns, selecting the right choke tube isn't just an option—it's a critical component for success in the field. The Primos 6773 Tight Wad Turkey Choke, engineered in a sleek black finish, stands out as a purpose-built solution designed to significantly enhance your shotgun's patterning capabilities specifically for hunting gobblers. This isn't merely another accessory; it's a strategic upgrade for hunters aiming for denser, more consistent patterns at extended ranges, ensuring ethical, clean shots and maximizing their chances of a successful hunt.

Why a Specialized Turkey Choke is Indispensable for Your Mossberg 835/935

Many hunters might wonder, "Why do I need a special choke tube just for turkey hunting?" The answer lies in the unique demands of pursuing wild turkeys. Unlike upland birds or waterfowl, turkeys present a relatively small, vital target area—primarily the head and neck. To achieve a quick, humane harvest, you need to deliver a high concentration of pellets into this small zone, even at distances where standard chokes begin to spread too widely.

Factory-supplied or general-purpose chokes are designed for a broad range of shooting scenarios. While adequate for many applications, they often fall short when it comes to the extreme constriction and pattern density required for turkey loads. This can lead to "patchy" patterns, where significant gaps allow pellets to miss the critical kill zone, resulting in wounded birds or frustrating misses. The Primos 6773 Tight Wad directly addresses this challenge by providing a meticulously engineered constriction that optimizes the performance of modern turkey ammunition, transforming your Mossberg 835 or 935 into a dedicated turkey-taking machine.

Unleashing Precision: The Primos 6773 Tight Wad Advantage

The Primos 6773 Tight Wad Turkey Choke is more than just a piece of metal; it's a precisely crafted tool designed to give hunters a decisive edge. Its construction, specifically tailored for 12-gauge Mossberg 835 and 935 shotguns, ensures a seamless fit and optimal performance.

• Optimized Constriction for Turkey Loads: At its core, a choke tube's function is to constrict the shotgun bore at the muzzle, concentrating the shot charge as it exits. The "Tight Wad" name isn't just marketing; it reflects the choke's specific internal geometry engineered to create an incredibly dense pattern, maximizing the number of pellets on target. This extreme constriction is calibrated to perform exceptionally well with popular turkey loads, whether you prefer traditional lead, high-density bismuth, or cutting-edge Tungsten Super Shot (TSS). When you ask, "What's the best choke for patterning turkey loads?", the answer often points towards specialized options like this Primos choke.
• Ported Design for Enhanced Performance: A key feature of the Primos 6773 is its ported design. These strategically placed vents near the muzzle serve multiple functions critical for a turkey hunter:
  • Recoil Reduction: Porting helps to vent gases laterally as the shot exits, significantly reducing felt recoil. This is a considerable benefit when shooting heavy turkey loads, allowing for quicker follow-up shots if necessary and making the patterning process more comfortable.
  • Muzzle Jump Mitigation: By directing gases, porting also helps to minimize muzzle rise, keeping your sight picture steadier and aiding in precise aim, especially when aiming for that small turkey head.
  • Pattern Consistency: The venting action also contributes to a smoother, more uniform release of the shot column, which can lead to more consistent and tighter patterns downrange.
• Durable Construction for Demanding Conditions: Turkey hunting often involves harsh environments, from damp spring woods to cold, rocky terrain. The Primos 6773 Tight Wad is constructed from high-quality, heat-treated steel, ensuring exceptional durability and resistance to wear, even with the continuous use of high-velocity turkey loads. The sleek black finish not only provides a discreet look that blends into hunting environments but also offers an added layer of corrosion resistance. This is a choke built to withstand the rigors of the hunt season after season.
• Seamless Compatibility with Mossberg 835 & 935: The specificity of this choke for Mossberg 835 and 935 12-gauge shotguns means you don't have to guess if it will fit or perform correctly. These Mossberg models are popular choices among turkey hunters due to their robust design and ability to handle 3.5-inch magnum shells. The Primos 6773 Tight Wad is engineered to thread perfectly into these specific shotgun barrels, ensuring optimal alignment and performance. If you're searching for "choke tube for Mossberg 835 Ulti-Mag" or "best choke for Mossberg 935 Magnum turkey," this choke should be at the top of your list.

Real-World Applications: Enhancing Your Turkey Hunting Success

Consider these scenarios where the Primos 6773 Tight Wad choke proves invaluable:

• The Challenging Long-Range Shot: A wary gobbler hangs up at 40 yards, just outside the comfort zone of a standard choke. With the Primos Tight Wad, you've patterned your gun to consistently deliver enough pellets at this range, turning a questionable shot into a confident one. Hunters often ask, "How do I extend my effective turkey hunting range?" A specialized choke is a primary answer.
• Hunting in Open Fields: When turkeys are visible across large agricultural fields or open clearings, setting up close can be difficult. The Primos 6773 allows you to maintain effective patterns at ranges necessary to engage these birds, giving you more flexibility in your setup.
• Dense Woods and Quick Opportunities: Even in tight timber, sometimes a gobbler will offer a fleeting, but clear, head shot. The consistent, dense pattern ensures that even with a slightly less-than-perfect alignment under pressure, a lethal pattern is delivered.
• Building Hunter Confidence: Knowing your shotgun is optimally patterned for turkey hunting significantly boosts confidence. This translates to calmer shots, better decision-making, and ultimately, a more enjoyable and successful hunting experience. For new hunters, choosing the right choke can demystify the process of patterning and ensure a positive first experience.

Optimizing Your Turkey Hunting Setup with Primos

• Ammunition Pairing: The effectiveness of any choke tube is inherently linked to the ammunition it's paired with. The Primos 6773 is designed to excel with various turkey loads. Experiment with different shot sizes (e.g., #4, #5, #6, or even TSS sizes like #7, #9) and pellet materials. Generally, denser, harder pellets (like TSS or bismuth) retain more energy and pattern tighter, making them ideal partners for the extreme constriction of the Tight Wad. Always test different brands and loads on paper to find the combination that yields the best pattern density for your specific Mossberg 835 or 935. This iterative process is key to answering "What's the best ammunition for turkey hunting with my Primos choke?"
• Patterning Your Shotgun: Simply screwing in the Primos 6773 isn't enough. You must pattern your shotgun with your chosen turkey load at various distances (e.g., 20, 30, 40 yards) on large paper targets. This exercise reveals the actual density and distribution of your pellets, identifying your effective killing range and confirming where your shotgun shoots in relation to your point of aim. This data is invaluable for making ethical decisions in the field and provides empirical evidence of the Tight Wad's performance. Aim for a high pellet count within a 10-inch circle, representing the turkey's head and neck area.

Installation and Maintenance: Keeping Your Choke Ready

Installing the Primos 6773 Tight Wad is straightforward. Ensure your Mossberg 835 or 935 shotgun is unloaded and pointed in a safe direction. Unscrew your existing choke tube (usually hand-tight or with a choke wrench), clean the threads in the barrel, and then hand-tighten the Primos choke until snug. A light coating of anti-seize lubricant on the choke tube threads is highly recommended to prevent it from seizing in the barrel due to heat and pressure. After each hunting trip or patterning session, remove the choke, clean it thoroughly of powder residue, and reapply lubricant before reinserting it. Proper maintenance ensures longevity and consistent performance.

Frequently Asked Questions about Turkey Chokes

• What is the "best" constriction for a turkey choke?
  The term "best" is subjective and depends on your shotgun and ammunition. However, turkey chokes are typically very tight, often described as "Extra Full" or even tighter, like "Super Full" or "Turkey Specific." The Primos 6773 provides this level of extreme constriction.
• Can I use any 12-gauge choke in my Mossberg 835/935?
  No. Shotguns have specific choke thread patterns. The Mossberg 835 and 935 use a unique Accu-II/Accu-Mag choke system, and you must use chokes designed specifically for these models, like the Primos 6773. Using an incorrect choke can damage your shotgun.
• How often should I pattern my shotgun with a turkey choke?
  You should pattern your shotgun with your chosen turkey load every time you make a significant change, such as switching choke tubes, ammunition brands/types, or even before each turkey season to confirm performance.
• Does a ported choke really reduce recoil?
  Yes, ported chokes are designed to vent a portion of the expanding gases laterally as the shot leaves the barrel, which helps to counteract some of the forward momentum, thus reducing perceived recoil and muzzle rise.
• Is the Primos Tight Wad suitable for steel shot?
  Always check the manufacturer's recommendations. While many modern chokes can handle non-toxic shot, extreme constriction chokes like turkey chokes are often not recommended for steel shot due to the risk of damage to the choke or barrel. For specific guidance on the Primos 6773, refer to its packaging or Primos' official documentation. For ethical turkey hunting, lead, bismuth, or TSS are generally preferred for their density and energy retention.
