Want it right as possible Indian creek 555, solid hunting patterns carlsons 570 or 575.  Cheap Primos tightwad is worth a look too.

This applies to TSS.

Sumtoy .562 or IC .555 for chokes, Apex, or Foxtrot ammunition or you could roll your own. LB's #6, good choice if not shooting TSS. Keep in mind. No gun shoot's the same...

Excellent choice!  Federal TSS is on sale at Midway and Natchez now.  Go with #9's if your state allows the smaller shot.

I swapped out the stock for the sure shot thumbhole, added a truglo set with ghost ring rear screwed a pure gold turkey tube in the barrel and after few rounds of #9 tss I had myself a 40 yard Turkey killer. Its light and easy on the shoulder. Dont expect legendary patterns with the short barrel but it flat stop a tom and tip him over stiff legged.

Got the Carlson choke made for the Long beard ammo. Paired it with #5  Long beard. Made it a 40 yard 20 gauge. My son killed both his first turkeys at around the 40 yard mark. Great choke/ shell combo.

I have Indian creeks in all three of my guns and have no complaints.

My buddy has a jebs in his Mossy and likes it. I've got an IC .665 in my stoeger and I really like it. Both are solid company's. Both throw crazy tight patterns. He shoots LB's and I'm shooting Fed TSS.

I'm shooting a Carlson 575 choke and ninja TSS 8 1/2 shot. It just depends on how tight you want your pattern on what choke you get. My opinion is to get your hand on a 565, a 570 and a 575 and see what works best in your gun.

The beauty of TSS is that while one choke might perform better than another one, you can use any turkey choke and about any standard TSS load to have a better than ever turkey gun.

Do you think it makes a difference between ported and none ported?
