can someone tell what the diff. in the Carlson long beard xr and the Carlson heavyweight tss is the long beard says its for heavtweight to . dose any now any thing about cabel's turkey choke who makes them and if any one has tried them .
I've shot the Heavyweight TSS .555 and it's patterned well in my Stoeger M3020 with TSS 9's
When I was shopping for choke tubes I called Carlson and was told that the only difference from the tss choke and the standard.555 was the engraving and that either of the .555 is best suited for the #9 shot or smaller
The LB choke is ported and is .568 I believe but is a .56? Construction
FWIW:
I have Carlson's HW/TSS chokes in both 870's and my BSN and they pattern VERY well with 2oz/#5 12/3.5" WLB shells. If a Tom's head winds up anywhere inside a 12" circle out to 50 yards there will be no chance for survival.
For roughly $2 each the Winchester Supreme Long Beard XR's shoot so well out of all my turkey guns to 60 yards, I simply can not justify it and bring myself to spend $8 each for TSS.
