Elevating Your Turkey Hunt: The Carlson's Bone Collector 20 Gauge Turkey Choke Tube for Benelli/Beretta Mobil Shotguns

For the dedicated turkey hunter, every element of their gear setup is crucial for success. From calling strategies to camouflage, precision matters. When it comes to the shotgun, achieving the tightest, most consistent pattern at critical ranges is paramount for ethical and effective harvesting. This is where a specialized choke tube like the Carlson's Choke Tubes 80135 Bone Collector Benelli/Beretta Mobil 20 Gauge Turkey Choke Tube becomes an indispensable asset.

Are you looking to maximize the performance of your 20 gauge shotgun for turkey season? Do you want to ensure your patterns are dense and lethal at extended ranges? Hunters frequently ask, "What's the best choke tube for turkey hunting?" or "How can I improve my shotgun's accuracy and range?" This comprehensive guide explores how the Carlson's Bone Collector choke tube directly addresses these questions, providing a significant upgrade for serious gobbler enthusiasts.

Unlocking Superior Shotgun Performance for Turkey Hunting

Turkey hunting demands a unique approach to shotgun patterning. Unlike upland birds or waterfowl, where a broader pattern might be desirable, turkey hunting requires an exceptionally tight, dense pattern to concentrate pellets on the bird's head and neck area for a clean, humane shot. Standard factory choke tubes often fall short in delivering this level of precision.

The Carlson's Bone Collector Turkey Choke Tube is engineered specifically to transform your 20 gauge shotgun into a formidable turkey-taking machine. Designed in collaboration with the Bone Collector team, known for their passion for hunting and high-performance gear, this choke embodies reliability and effectiveness in the field. It’s more than just an accessory; it’s a performance upgrade that can significantly impact your success rates.

This choke tube is meticulously crafted to excel with all types of lead, copper-plated, and high-density tungsten loads. This versatility ensures that no matter your preferred turkey ammunition, you can achieve optimal results. The focus is on delivering an extremely tight, uniform pattern that puts maximum pellet count where it counts, minimizing the chance of wounded game and maximizing the likelihood of a clean harvest.

Why a Specialized Turkey Choke?

• Optimal Pattern Density: Unlike other choke types, turkey chokes are designed to constrict the shot column significantly, creating a super-tight pattern. This concentration of pellets is vital for hitting the small, vulnerable target area of a turkey's head and neck.
• Increased Range: A denser pattern maintains its effectiveness over longer distances, allowing hunters to confidently take shots at ranges that might be questionable with a less specialized choke.
• Consistency: High-quality turkey chokes like the Carlson's Bone Collector provide repeatable, consistent patterns shot after shot, building hunter confidence.
• Ammunition Versatility: While optimized for turkey loads, a good turkey choke should handle various specialized shotshells effectively, ensuring peak performance with your chosen ammunition.

Core Features and Engineering Excellence

The Carlson's Choke Tubes 80135 Bone Collector stands out due to its thoughtful design and robust construction, combining advanced materials with performance-enhancing features.

Premium 17-4 Stainless Steel Construction

At the heart of this choke tube's durability and performance is its construction from high-grade 17-4 stainless steel. This material is renowned for several key attributes:

• Exceptional Strength: 17-4 stainless steel offers superior tensile strength, making it highly resistant to the immense pressures generated by modern, high-velocity turkey loads. This ensures the choke tube can withstand thousands of shots without deformation or degradation.
• Corrosion Resistance: Hunting environments can be harsh, involving exposure to moisture, dirt, and varying temperatures. 17-4 stainless steel provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, ensuring the choke tube maintains its integrity and appearance even after extensive use in challenging conditions.
• Longevity: The inherent toughness of 17-4 stainless steel translates to an extended lifespan for the choke tube, offering reliable performance season after season. This means less worry about wear and tear and more focus on the hunt.

Ported Design for Enhanced Performance

One of the most significant features of this Carlson's choke tube is its ported design. The series of strategically placed ports near the muzzle end of the choke tube offer several distinct advantages:

• Recoil Reduction: The ports vent gasses as the shot column exits the barrel, redirecting them outward and forward. This counteracts some of the rearward forces, effectively reducing felt recoil. For 20 gauge shotguns, which inherently have less mass than 12 gauge, managing recoil is still beneficial for comfort during patterning and follow-up shots if needed.
• Muzzle Jump Mitigation: By directing gasses, the ports also help to minimize muzzle rise or "jump." This allows for faster sight recovery and easier follow-through, especially important in high-pressure hunting situations.
• Improved Pattern Uniformity: The gas redirection can also contribute to a more stable shot column as it exits the choke, potentially leading to more uniform and consistent patterns. This subtle advantage ensures that every pellet is on target.

Extended Design for Easy Handling and Protection

The "extended" aspect of this choke tube means it protrudes beyond the muzzle of the shotgun barrel. This design choice offers practical benefits for the hunter:

• Easy Installation and Removal: The extended portion provides a larger gripping surface, making it much easier to hand-tighten or remove the choke tube without the need for a separate wrench in the field. This convenience is invaluable when making quick adjustments.
• Barrel Protection: The extended choke acts as a sacrificial barrier, protecting the delicate crown of your shotgun barrel from accidental bumps, scratches, or minor impacts. This adds an extra layer of durability to your valuable firearm.
• Aesthetic Appeal: The matte black finish complements most shotgun aesthetics, offering a sleek, integrated look.

Compatibility and Installation

The Carlson's Choke Tubes 80135 is specifically designed for shotguns utilizing the Benelli/Beretta Mobil Choke System in 20 Gauge. This is a widely adopted choke system, found on numerous popular models, making this choke tube a versatile choice for many hunters.

Compatible Shotgun Models (Benelli/Beretta Mobil 20 Gauge System):

• Benelli: Nova, Supernova, M1, M2, Legacy, Montefeltro, Ethos (older models, confirm your system), Ultralight, Vinci (pre-2021 models), and other Benelli models that accept the Mobil Choke.
• Beretta: 390, 391, AL391, A400 (some models, confirm your system), Pintail, Urika, and the 680 series (686, 687) along with other Beretta shotguns designed for the Mobil Choke.

Important Note on Compatibility: Always verify your shotgun uses the Benelli/Beretta Mobil Choke System. While many models from these manufacturers do, some newer or specialized models might use different systems (e.g., Benelli Crio Plus, Beretta Optima HP). A quick check of your shotgun's manual or current choke tubes will confirm compatibility.

Installation is straightforward: ensure your shotgun is unloaded and pointed in a safe direction. Unscrew your existing choke tube (if any) and carefully screw in the Carlson's Bone Collector choke tube by hand until it is finger-tight. A light application of choke tube grease is recommended to prevent seizing and allow for easier future removal.

The Bone Collector Edge: Precision and Performance

The "Bone Collector" branding on this choke tube signifies a commitment to elite hunting performance. It's not just a name; it represents a collaboration aimed at delivering equipment that meets the rigorous demands of serious hunters. When you choose a Bone Collector series product, you're investing in gear designed for ultimate efficiency and effectiveness in the field.

Hunters often seek tools that provide a distinct advantage. The Carlson's Bone Collector turkey choke offers that edge by:

• Optimizing Pellet Distribution: Its precise constriction ensures that the shot charge maintains its integrity longer, leading to a tighter, more uniform pattern downrange. This translates directly to more pellets on target.
• Enhancing Ethical Harvesting: A dense, reliable pattern increases the likelihood of a clean kill, minimizing the potential for wounded game and upholding the principles of ethical hunting.
• Boosting Hunter Confidence: Knowing your shotgun is performing at its peak with a high-quality choke tube instills confidence, allowing you to focus on the hunt itself rather than worrying about your equipment's capabilities.

Maximizing Your Turkey Season Success

Incorporating the Carlson's Bone Collector 20 Gauge Turkey Choke Tube into your setup is a significant step towards a more successful turkey season. But remember, the choke tube is one part of the equation. For optimal results, consider these additional factors:

• Pattern Your Shotgun: Before heading afield, always pattern your shotgun with your chosen turkey load and the new choke tube. This involves shooting at paper targets at various ranges (e.g., 20, 30, 40 yards) to determine your shotgun's effective range and identify the most consistent load.
• Ammunition Selection: Experiment with different brands and types of turkey loads. While the Carlson's choke is versatile, each shotgun and choke combination can show a preference for certain ammunition, leading to tighter patterns. High-density tungsten loads often yield superior results with specialized turkey chokes.
• Practice Your Shooting: Consistent practice improves your aim and confidence, ensuring you can capitalize on the enhanced performance offered by the choke tube.
