Carlson's Choke Tubes 70140 Long Beard Turkey 70140 12 Gauge Turkey Ported 17-4 Stainless Steel

The Carlson's Long Beard Turkey 12 gauge choke tube is purpose-built for turkey hunters who want to maximize pattern density and effective range on gobblers. This ported 17-4 stainless steel choke is engineered to work with modern turkey ammunition, particularly Winchester's Long Beard loads, delivering the tight, consistent patterns that separate clean harvests from frustrating misses in the turkey woods.

Constructed from 17-4 stainless steel and featuring porting, this choke tube resists corrosion and handles the abuse of season after season in the field. The design prioritizes shot consistency downrange—the choke throws nearly round shot patterns that hold together at extended distances, giving you reliable performance when your gobbler is at 40, 50, or beyond 50 yards. That extended reach and terminal performance is where turkey hunting is won, especially late in the season when birds are spooky and fired-up flocks are long gone.

Installation is straightforward in any 12 gauge shotgun with interchangeable choke tubes. Carlson's stands behind this tube with a lifetime warranty, and it's manufactured in the USA. Note: do not use steel shot larger than #4 in this choke.
