I was able to try this choke out today in my Rem 870 w/28" barrel paired with Winchester Longbeard 3" #5s. I am in no way affiliated with any of these companies, just a hunting enthusiast that did a little reading and happened to stumble on an incredible match. My forty five yard target had a much denser pattern than a myriad of combos I ran last year at 30 yards. Be sure to pattern your gun because this choke throws a SUPER tight pattern 25 yards and closer. I could go on and on... not sure whether my gun loves the choke or the ammo but this is exactly what I have been looking for. Happy hunting!

This choke when paired with Winchester Long Beard XR ammo will extend the yardage on most guns. I am shooting it with a 870 Remington pump and a Charles Daly automatic. It gave both guns another 10 or 11 yards of good dense patterns. I usually shoot shot size #4's or #5's but with this choke I have settled for #6's which gives me a greater number of shot than either 4's or 5's and a denser, thicker pattern. I shoot 3" shells and I would image that the 3 1/2's would be even better, but because of an old shoulder injury I don't like the recoil of the 3 1/2's. I also have a Carlson Long Beard Choke on my Tristar 20 gauge that will out preform most factory choked 12 gauge shotguns. I know there are custom chokes out there that might do better, but for my money, I am well pleased with what this choke can do. Just be sure and used the Winchester Long Beard XR ammo with it.Read full review

Shot some 3" win. longbeard xl 12 ga. at 40 yards and got a pattern good enough to kill a turkey! In the past I held fire on two gobblers that I thought were too far.

Throws a fantastic pattern at 45 USA with 3.5" number 4 long beards. I shot 5's with old turkey Rem choke. This does well with 5 but is amazing with4's.
