So my buddy said that the Tristar Viper G2 takes the Benelli/Beretta Mobil choke tubes. I'm looking for a new aftermarket choke for my .410. Not sure if I'll use it this year or not for turkeys since I love my Franchi Affinity 3 20 gauge so much. But my buddy swears by shooting turkeys with a .410 and I have a ton of TSS shells for it. Just wanted to hear your guys' thoughts. Thanks!

I am using a Indian creek. 385 out of my mossberg SA 410ga TSS turkey gun.  Same gun as the tristar G2 viper 410.  The carlson tss patterns very well also. I have a factory xfull choke came with gun. But never used it. Mossberg sa 410ga takes beretta chokes too. But my mossberg 500 410 TSS turkey gun takes browning invector chokes.  I would like to try the Indian creek. 390 in it.

I ended up going with a Sumtoy Customs .380 choke. Sumtoy himself recommended that constricted. I'm excited to see what it'll do when I pattern it, I just got it today. If it patterns anything like the .562 I got from him I'll be a happy man. He's an awesome guy who is very helpful with answering all the questions I had. If I ever shoot a 12 gauge again for turkeys (probably will never happen) I'll need to add another Sumtoy to the arsenal. Love the company and their products!

Let us know how the .380 does. I had another brand .380 and was not impressed. I was considering trying an IC 390.

Right now, comp n choke .385 is what ive been hunting with.

This is the result at 20. I shot a bit left at 30 and I imagine it would still be great at 40. Tristar Viper G2 .410, Sumtoy Customs .380, Apex 27/32 9.5's. I'd say it's a dead gobbler. If I end up taking a picture of my 30 yard spread I'll post that too. Hoping everything pans out and I have a dead tom this year with a .410!
