A good turkey choke can turn any old shotgun into a certified gobbler getter. It might require some trial and error to figure out which turkey loads a choke patterns best, but that’s part of the fun. Of course, it isn’t feasible (definitely not affordable) to test every ammo and choke combination out there.
For the purposes of this review, I tested some of the best turkey chokes with some of the best and readily available turkey ammo. Aside from extensive range testing, I’ve also killed turkeys with several of these chokes. There are other turkey chokes that didn’t make the review for logistic reasons, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t also great options. Here’s what you can expect from some of the best turkey chokes available.
Like the best turkey hunting shotguns, this review doesn’t necessarily crown an overall champ. Instead, it should show you what you can expect from some of the best turkey chokes and how they pattern in different guns with different loads.
A gun’s ability to pattern depends on multiple variables. Barrel length, ammo choice, choke tube, and choke constriction all determine how well or poorly a gun might pattern. Changing any of those variables in that formula can alter the outcome.
I tested these chokes by patterning various shotguns with them at 40 yards and taking the average pellet count within a 10-inch circle at that distance. Here’s what I found.
