What choke for "hunting" pattern in beretta al 391 urika

[Onpoint]

I have a couple dedicated turkey slayers. Got this gun last weekend in a trade and the front bead is broke off. I'm having a machinist try to get it out without messing the threads up. I just ordered a replacement hiviz comp sight. Hoping to just be able to shoot double beads on this gun. I have an 870 special purpose with a heve shot coke, baikal single shot 12 with a sumtoy choke, mossberg 535 with a rhino choke topped off with a nikon monarch turkey scope. My wife has a mossberg super Bantam fitted with a carlsons 575 which throws the best "hunting" pattern of any of the guns we have.

I have guns that throw ridiculous 10" numbers, that 535 with longbeard 4's is almost too tight. I missed a couple with that gun last year shooting rifle sights which is why I added a scope this year.

I'm not chasing 10" numbers here. What I want is a good even 15" pattern. I have a stock pile of long beards and turkey thug shells. I quit shooting htl when $30 would no longer get 10 rounds. I may try some federal 3rd degree just because I feel like they are reasonably priced. Anyways, back on topic, what choke should I look at? right now the 2 I'm considering are the patternmaster code black and carlsons longbeard choke.

The gun came with a tightwad choke. The guy I got it from is the same guy I got my 535 from and he said the 535 blows the Beretta out of the water.

Pure gold is another choke I've considered as well.

Just happened to think, I remember last year after he first got the Beretta he said something about it shooting high. This sucks because for 2 reasons, 1 I'm out 30 bucks on a non adjustable sight and 2 I was really wanting to just shoot double beads on this gun. Was wanting this to be an all around gun, not just a dedicated turkey rig with rifled sights or a scope

There are many chokes out there that throw good/excellent patterns like the ones you want for hunting. I was very impressed with the new Magnum Blend shells through the JEB's .650 turkey choke. That combination did what you describe, an excellent 10" core pattern and a very good 20" halo pattern to take care of any movement on the part of the turkey or the shooter.  Here's a link, in case you missed it http://allaboutshooting.com/article_info.php?articles_id=762

Over the last few months, I've evaluated WLB, Hevi-13, 3rd Degree and the new Magnum Blend shells, using a variety of guns and chokes and in various temperatures. Many good products and many good choices.

You may want to take a look at some of the other results that I had and maybe that will be of some help in making a choice for your new gun.

Thanks,
Clark

Well my checking account is $104 lighter. got a jebs 660 on the way. I called and talked to the folks ans was explaining that I wanted an even 15" hunting pattern as opposed to a High numbers gun and the fella really sold me on this choke. I hope I don't regret not getting the patternmaster.

I think you'll be very pleased with that JEB's choke. Glad the folks there were so helpful to you. They are really good people who know their products very well.

Thanks,

I just ordered one from Jeb's myself for my Beretta A400 Xtreme.
They were very helpful (like Clark) in determining a constriction based upon the shell I was planing on using (Winchester Long Beard XR 3" #5).

That's the shell I will more than  likely run. I have 4's, 5's and 6's

I will let you know how my patterns turn out when I get my choke (.655). I have some 4s and 6s as well.

Keep us posted. I would almost bet you are looking at 200+/- in that 15" circle.

I sure will.
I think I'm really going to like this gun. It's a little heavier than what I like but this gun is very well balanced. I was wanting an M2 20 Guage but for the deal I got on this gun I couldn't pass it up.
I had $685 in an FNX 45, traded even for the Beretta. (I'd rather have the fnx tactical 45 anyways, right now my 90 - two is my pride and joy)
guess a 20 will be my post season project
