Carlson's Choke Tubes 80100 Bone Collector 12 Gauge Turkey Extended Stainless Steel Choke Tube

The Carlson's Bone Collector 12 gauge turkey choke tube is purpose-built for serious turkey hunters who demand consistent, lethal patterns shot after shot. This extended stainless steel choke delivers the tight constriction and pattern density that makes the difference between a clean harvest and a miss. Whether you're running lead, nickel-plated, copper-plated, bismuth, hevi-shot, tungsten, or TSS loads, the Bone Collector is engineered to throw dense, reliable patterns across the board—and it's the official choice of hunters serious enough to pattern their guns before the season.

Precision-machined from 17-4 heat-treated stainless steel and finished in non-reflective matte black, this choke tube combines durability with a no-nonsense aesthetic. The extended design includes a longer taper section leading into the constriction zone, which concentrates more pellets on target and minimizes flyers. That means tighter patterns and more birds on the ground. Every choke has been individually pattern-tested to deliver consistent performance, but here's the key: shotgun patterns vary with ammunition. Before you hunt, run your specific loads through your gun with this choke to dial in your personal setup—different manufacturers and ammunition types will pattern differently even with the same constriction.

The Bone Collector works with shot sizes #4 through #10; if you're running larger shot, opt for a more open choke for optimal results. Do not use steel shot larger than #4, slugs, sabots, rifled slugs, or 00/000 buckshot through this tube. This is a turkey specialist—pattern it, trust it, and hunt with confidence.
