I had a gun built way back before there were short bbled turkey guns or screw in chokes by a guy that was the gunsmith for the US Olympic trap team. He took a new 30" 870 bbl and cut it 1 inch at a time and chronoed 3" turkey loads, then cut it another inch and chroned. He found little significant velocity loss until he reached 25". He tapped a 25" bbl for me and the first ever short bbled
turkey gun with a screw in choke was born. He later sold the patent to Winchester and the Win Choke was born. I still have that bbl and hunt with it. In my opinion, the winchester 1300 turkey barrel is one of the finest that's ever been made. Some of the tightest longer range patterns I've seen out of any gun.
