Has anybody shot tss using the stock turkey choke that come with this model? Most likely i will go with Carlson .575 as Fl-Boss recommends.

I have the SA-28 instead of the SA-20 and the factory full shot nearly identical to the Briley XFULL.

Carlson .575 is "all-around" good for all the Turkish SA guns.. Moss SA-20, Weatherby SA-459.. and the Tristar G2. These are all pretty close to the same gun....pretty sure they are made in the same factory. It seems no matter what choke you though at it.. they are all pretty close. I think the more important than the choke, is the shot.. shoot #9 TSS when permitted.

I have hunted with the SA 20 turkey thug for years. The Carlson .575 is the only tube I use, The thing is hard on the Gobblers!

I have shot the turkey thug version for a few years now, did well with the factory tube which is supposed to be like a .580 from what I have heard, bought a Indian Creek .555 and it is pure evil, however the tube is getting gouges in the wad catchers, checked with Indian Creek and they said it was normal.
I assume at some point it would have an effect on the patterns but does not seem to at this point!
Happy those 8.5 look wicked, I was looking at that choke recently.

Thanks, I think all three gave me a pretty good pattern and will work fine for the ranges I shoot. Would have been nice if the heviweight would have had the same poi though.

I have the regular version of the mossberg SA-20. I've shot TSS 9's and LB XR through it and it produces a nice tight even pattern. It's good enough I haven't gone away from it.

Has anyone checked the constriction on the factory extended turkey tube? I heard it was approx. .580?

No sir, this was the newer SA-20 after they dropped the Turkey thug logo. It was the factory choke.
