What's the tightest choke for Mossberg 500 12 gauge?

[roverboy]

I was talking to a friend the other day, and we was talking about tight chokes for 12 gauge. I told him I had a Hastings .640 for my Model 500, and he said he thought somebody made one tighter.  A .640 is the tightest I've heard of. Does anybody know of something tighter than .640?

.640 is the tightest I have heard of. I run a .670 Pure Gold. Lots of guys are using that Indian Creek .665. I don't think you want to go much small than that with the HTL pellets. Sumtoy has a .650 lead choke.

I am scared to run a super tight choke because I am afraid I will miss at 15 yards.

.640 is the tightest I have seen for a 12 gauge shotgun. I'm running a Kicks Gobblin Thunder .670.

Hmmm don't know.

I am not sure what the measurements are but I can say with absolute certainty that at about 18-20 feet my Mossberg with an "undertaker" choke tube makes it very easy to miss cleanly. :doh: I need a do-over from this morning. Rookie mistake after 27 years chasing turkeys.

words of wisdom (even worse at about 7 yards)

Really close up you need to have a shotgun that shoots real straight. At 10 yards or so, your talking about a 2 1/2" to 3" pattern. Real critical.

I shot a turkey Friday morning at 12 yards with a 3.5" Hevi 13 #7. He didn't even kick. Too close for me, but at least I didn't miss. <br /><br />
