TruGlo TG188X HeadBanger Long Range Turkey Choke - Winchester & Mossberg 20 Gauge, Multi-Phase Grooves

The TruGlo TG188X HeadBanger Long Range Turkey Choke is engineered for hunters who want to stretch their effective shotgun range and put more pellets on target when it counts. Built for Winchester and Mossberg 20-gauge shotguns, this choke tube pairs advanced multi-phase groove technology with heat-treated steel construction to deliver the tight, consistent patterns modern turkey loads demand. Whether you're running premium ammunition like Hevi-Shot, Winchester Long Beard XR, or Federal Premium 3rd Degree, the HeadBanger is built to handle the pressure and recoil of high-performance turkey rounds without sacrificing precision.

Multi-phase grooves are the key to this choke's performance. The internal groove design engages the shot cup and guides pellets into a progressively tighter pattern as they exit the barrel, maximizing pellet energy and consistency downrange. That means better fill and fewer flyers—the kind of pattern control that separates clean harvests from frustrating misses on wary birds. CNC machining ensures each tube meets exacting tolerances, and the polished end face seats and seals properly in your shotgun's choke system, crucial for reliable performance with heavy magnum loads.

This is a tube built for hunters serious about long-range turkey shooting. Heat-treated steel handles the stress of premium ammunition, and the engineering reflects what experienced turkey hunters actually need: a choke that patterns reliably, accepts the loads that work best in your region, and delivers on the promise of extended effective range. Drop it in your 20-gauge Winchester or Mossberg and pattern it with your favorite load before season—the results will tell you why serious turkey hunters reach for chokes like this.
