Depends on what size shot you plan on using. Most chokes have retriction sizes....like .655 etc that they recommend using with various sizes of shot. As an example one of the guns I shoot a winchester 1300 with a Kick's Gobbling Thunder on it with a .655 choke size for 6's which I perfer. Death machine...to say the least.

Wacenturian, We are going to be at a great disadvantage this spring? With your death machine and new custom calls......we will need to call up Luke and Ben Skywalker for help to hold our own!! :chuckle: :chuckle:
Sometimes the new toys of a preseason are as much fun as the season...lol. Just ask Yelp about our 2008 Whitetail hunt. :chuckle:

what size shot is a good over all. i am thinking about getting the truglo gobble-stoper.
I have a backbored Mossberg 935 12 GA with a Tru Glo Turkey Choke. It patterns very well out to 40 yards with 3.5 inch 6 shot.

what cind of camo do i need?
Probably comes down to personal preference.......Realtree, Mossy Oak....whatever. You'll be turkey hunting in the spring so patterns with greens in them will help. They all work....it's the movement that will get you busted everytime. If you have to move, do it in slow....I repeat....slow motion. Never know what may be watching you....lol. :chuckle:

Lots of good advice in these threads.
Get a good book on gobbler hunting so you have an understanding of the methods, safety, and ethics behind the sport. The TV shows want to convince you that it a certain call or a certain gun, or decoy etc that makes the difference. In reality 75% of it is about you as a hunter and your woodsmanship.
I wouldn't be overly concerned w/ going out and getting a new "Turkey" choke. I admit I've got my gun set up to shoot out there quite a ways but in reality many if not most of the birds you kill are going to be within 30 yards. And in alot of those cases a 20 gauge with even a mod choke would probably be just fine. I'm not suggesting you use that just making a point.
Pattern your gun with the standard full choke that it came with using I high quality 3" Turkey load of 6s. I'm guessing you'll find that it patterns great out to 35 yards maybe even farther.
As far as camo goes... they'll all work. Staying still is way more important than the camo you use. I'm a huge believer in Predator and ASAT. Army woodland, Cabela's outfitter are good too. Or you can go with the fashion camo... like realtree, kings, and mossyoak :chuckle:

In my gun it only came with the mod. i was going to see how that shot and go from their.
If your gun has a screw in choke, I would opt for buying a turkey extra full choke ASAP!! :twocents: :twocents: The mod will not cut it for any shots over 20 yards or so. Your first hung up Tom at forty yards and you'll be wishing you spent the twenty bucks on a turkey choke.
