Mossberg 835 Carlson Long beard XR choke diameter

Been looking at some chokes for my Mossberg 835 turkey thug 12 gauge and thinking about the carlsons long beard XR choke because that's what I like to shoot. The diameter is .683 and that seems very open to me when I hear most guys shooting .665 or .660. I looked through all the 838 diameters he has on they're all very open compared to other brand guns. All .670 or higher.

Is this something to do with Mossberg 835/935 threads or the guns themselves? Thanks for any info on the choke or info on the diameter of all 835 chokes I've seen being larger.

I have both a 935 semi auto and an 835 pump. The .675 Indian Creek was the ticket in the 835 and the .683 LongBeard in the 935. Both using LongBeard 3" 1 3/4 ounce #5. Your gun may not like either. Read thru the forums and you will see a lot of users of the .675 Indian Creek in the overbored Mossy barrels. There was not a huge difference in either gun when I swapped chokes just out of curiosity....
