A friend just bought the 12 ga Weatherby SA-459 Turkey that is the older model with the ghost ring setup and no vent rib.  They haven't had a chance to shoot it yet.  Can anybody give me some suggestions on a good choke for the 3" Longbeard #6's?  Our season starts in a little less than two weeks so I was hoping to have a backup plan in place in case the factory choke isn't very good.  Thanks guys!

Im in the process of picking one up as well and cant figure out if it uses the Beretta/Benelli Mobil system or the Browning/Win/Invector system

You have a pretty wide choice of manufacturers and variety of exit diameters. The Hevi-13 choke has been a winner for many of my readers with those shells as has been the SSX.

Thanks,

Thanks Clark!  Between the two chokes that you referenced along with the Indian Creek BDS, which one would you choose to try first with the SA-459 that I mentioned along with the #6 LB's?  Thanks again!
