Achieve Unrivaled Turkey Hunting Performance with the Carlson's Bone Collector 20 Gauge Turkey Choke Tube

Are you a dedicated turkey hunter seeking to maximize your success in the field? Do you constantly wonder, "What's the best choke tube for turkey hunting?" or "How can I achieve tighter patterns with my 20-gauge shotgun?" Look no further. The Carlson's Bone Collector Rem Choke (MPN: 80125), designed specifically for 20-gauge shotguns, is engineered to transform your shotgun's performance, ensuring more pellets on target and more birds in your vest.

This premium choke tube isn't just another accessory; it's a critical upgrade for hunters who demand precision, reliability, and superior patterning from their shotgun, especially when targeting elusive wild turkeys. Available at DEGuns, this choke tube represents a significant leap forward in optimizing your shotgun for the unique challenges of turkey hunting.

Why Every Serious Turkey Hunter Needs a Specialized Turkey Choke

Turkey hunting is a game of precision. Unlike upland birds or waterfowl, where a wider spread might be desirable, turkey hunting requires an exceptionally tight, dense pattern to cleanly harvest a bird. A turkey's head and neck are relatively small targets, and placing a sufficient number of pellets in this critical zone is paramount for ethical and effective harvesting. Standard factory chokes often fall short, delivering patterns that are too open or inconsistent, leading to missed shots or wounded game.

The Carlson's Bone Collector series addresses this directly, offering a meticulously engineered solution to pattern density and consistency. It’s designed for the hunter who understands that success isn't left to chance; it's built on a foundation of optimal equipment.

Unpacking the Superiority: Features and Benefits of the Bone Collector Choke

What makes the Carlson's Bone Collector Rem Choke stand out in a crowded market of shotgun accessories? Its design and material science combine to deliver performance that elevates your hunting experience.

Precision Engineering for Maximum Pellet Density

At the heart of this choke tube's performance is its super tight, pattern-tested constriction, specifically designed for turkey hunting. With a .565 constriction diameter, it funnels shot loads efficiently, leading to incredibly dense patterns. This means:

• More Pellets on Target: Every shot fired will deliver a concentrated payload, significantly increasing the probability of hitting your target with enough pellets for a clean, ethical kill.
• Reduced Spread at Range: Maintain tighter patterns at longer distances, extending your effective range and increasing confidence when that trophy tom steps out.

Advanced Taper Section for Unmatched Consistency

A crucial, yet often overlooked, feature is the longer taper section leading to the constriction. This extended parallel section of the choke tube plays a vital role in pattern formation:

• Less Flyers: By gradually constricting the shot column, the longer taper minimizes pellet deformation and disruption, resulting in fewer "flyers" – pellets that stray from the main pattern.
• Uniform Patterns: This design promotes a more consistent and symmetrical pattern, ensuring that your shot is where you intend it to be, shot after shot.

Built to Last: 17-4 Heat-Treated Stainless Steel Construction

Durability is non-negotiable for hunting equipment. The Carlson's Bone Collector choke tube is precision-machined from 17-4 heat-treated stainless steel. This material choice is not arbitrary; it's a testament to its robust nature:

• Exceptional Strength: 17-4 stainless steel is renowned for its high strength and hardness, capable of withstanding the immense pressures of modern high-performance turkey loads, including Tungsten Super Shot (TSS) and Hevi-Shot.
• Corrosion Resistance: This material offers excellent resistance to corrosion, ensuring the choke tube stands up to harsh weather conditions and the rigors of frequent use in the field.
• Longevity: Investing in a choke tube made from such high-grade material means you're investing in a product that will reliably perform for countless hunting seasons.

Stealth and Performance: Non-Reflective Matte Black Finish

For turkey hunting, camouflage extends beyond your clothing to your equipment. The non-reflective matte black finish on this choke tube is specifically chosen to:

• Eliminate Glare: Prevent reflections that could spook wary turkeys, allowing you to maintain your concealment in diverse lighting conditions.
• Integrate Seamlessly: Blend with most shotgun finishes, ensuring your setup looks as professional as it performs.

Ported Design: Recoil Management and Pattern Stability

The ported, extended design offers several practical advantages for the hunter:

• Recoil Reduction: The ports allow gases to escape, diverting them to the sides and slightly forward, which helps mitigate felt recoil. This is particularly beneficial with heavy turkey loads, making follow-up shots more comfortable and reducing shooter fatigue.
• Muzzle Rise Mitigation: By directing gases, porting can also help reduce muzzle rise, keeping your sight picture more stable during the shot.
• Extended Length: The extended design allows for easier installation and removal, often by hand, and provides a longer internal constriction section for even better pattern control.

Compatibility and Versatility: Designed for the Modern Turkey Hunter

This choke tube is specifically configured as a Rem Choke, making it compatible with a wide range of popular Remington 20-gauge shotguns and other brands that utilize the Rem Choke system. Its ability to throw tight patterns with virtually all shotshell ammunition loaded for turkey hunting – including traditional lead, nickel-plated, copper-plated, bismuth, Hevi-Shot, tungsten, and the increasingly popular TSS – makes it an incredibly versatile tool in your arsenal.

The Critical Importance of Pattern Testing

Carlson's emphasizes that each choke tube constriction has been pattern tested and has consistently thrown the best patterns with 4 through 10 shot. This data-driven approach removes guesswork, but it also underscores a critical principle for all serious hunters: always pattern your shotgun choke tube with the specific shotshell load you are going to be using.

• Why Pattern Testing is Crucial: Ammunition varies significantly between manufacturers and even within different loads from the same manufacturer. Factors like wad design, shot material, buffer, and velocity all influence how a load performs through a specific choke. What works brilliantly with one load might perform sub-optimally with another.
• Optimizing Your Setup: By taking the time to pattern your shotgun with your chosen turkey load at various distances (e.g., 20, 30, and 40 yards), you gain invaluable insight into your shotgun's true capabilities. This allows you to understand your maximum effective range and build confidence in your setup.
• Guidance on Shot Sizes: While optimized for #4 through #10 shot, the recommendation is clear: if you intend to use shot sizes larger than #4 shot, consider a more open choke tube for optimum patterning. This advice highlights the nuanced relationship between shot size, constriction, and pattern integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions by Turkey Hunters

"What is a 'turkey choke' and how is it different from other chokes?"
A turkey choke, like the Carlson's Bone Collector, is an extra-full or super-full constriction designed to produce the tightest possible patterns. Unlike modified or full chokes used for other game, a turkey choke aims to deliver a dense core of pellets into a small target area at greater distances, crucial for humanely harvesting turkeys.

"How does a ported choke benefit turkey hunting?"
Porting helps reduce felt recoil and muzzle jump, allowing for quicker follow-up shots if needed (though often unnecessary in turkey hunting) and making the overall shooting experience more comfortable, especially with heavy loads. It also contributes to more stable patterns by releasing gases after the shot leaves the barrel.

"Is the .565 constriction suitable for all 20-gauge turkey loads?"
The .565 constriction is optimized for 20-gauge shotguns to deliver extremely tight patterns, particularly with #4 through #10 shot sizes, including lead, bismuth, and denser TSS loads. However, as noted, always pattern your specific ammunition to confirm optimal performance.

"Why should I choose Carlson's Choke Tubes?"
Carlson's has a long-standing reputation for producing high-quality, precision-machined choke tubes. Their commitment to pattern testing, use of premium materials like 17-4 stainless steel, and innovative designs (like porting and extended tapers) ensure that hunters receive a product that consistently performs at the highest level. Choosing Carlson's means choosing a brand trusted by serious hunters for its reliability and performance.
