Well, the gun issue is settled.

I picked up a Beretta A300 Ultima Turkey 20ga today. Now to find a choke. It's like trying to go buy a Christmas tree at 10pm on Christmas Eve.

Open to suggestions... I won't have time (nor will there be inventory for it) to dither with "optimal". I'll need "acceptable" for this season and work till next year on improving things.

I love my A300 i didn't get the turkey because its not really my turkey gun but it might become it :). First and this is just my opinion i hated the kickoff system on the A300. It slapped my cheek hard enough to make me say notty words lol. I took it off and replaced it with a Kick eez pad way better in my book.
If it bothers you like it did me and from reading several others the kick eez is a good fix.

Good luck

If i had it to do over again id get the A300 Turkey but Cabelas had a whatabargin i couldn't pass up lol.

Looked like it has an extended choke on their website. Is it a turkey choke? If so, I bet it shoots well. My brother in law has the Franchi 20ga turkey, and the factory turkey choke shoots great with T#9

it's marked as a turkey choke, but also marked that it's not rated for steel. I'm assuming TSS qualifies as steel.

I shoot TSS through a Remington super full that says not rated for steel. I have not seen any Ill effects. I would not use it for a lot of shooting, but for turkey, the average Hunter May shoot 3-5 times per year.. your mileage may vary. You have to make the decision, but if it was me, I would try it. You could always call Beretta and talk to one of their technicians. Good luck. Keep us posted with some pics
