Carlson's Choke Tubes 80140 Bone Collector 80140 12 Gauge Turkey Extended Ported 17-4 Stainless Steel

The Carlson's Bone Collector 12 Gauge Turkey Choke Tube is a ported, extended turkey choke built for the serious spring or fall gobbler hunter who demands tight, consistent patterns downrange. Made from precision-machined 17-4 heat-treated stainless steel and finished in non-reflective matte black, this Browning Invector Plus–compatible choke is engineered to deliver the kind of pellet density that puts more birds in the bag. The extended ported design incorporates a longer taper section into the constriction zone, which works to tighten your pattern while reducing flyers—the difference between a clean kill and a lost opportunity.

Carlson's backs this choke with factory pattern testing across shot sizes #4 through #10, ensuring it performs reliably with the full range of modern turkey loads. Whether you're running lead, nickel-plated, copper-plated, bismuth, hevi-shot, tungsten, or TSS ammunition, this tube has been validated to throw the kind of tight, consistent patterns that matter at 40+ yards. The ported design also helps manage recoil, a welcome benefit when you're sitting in a blind for hours waiting for that tom to work in.

A critical note: this is a turkey-specific choke, not a general-purpose tube. Pattern your exact shotgun and ammunition combination before the season—different shell manufacturers and load types will throw different patterns from the same tube, so don't assume. And keep shot sizes within #4 and smaller; larger shot, slugs, sabots, or buckshot will degrade performance and can damage the choke.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this choke tube compatible with my Browning shotgun?

Yes, if your shotgun has a Browning Invector Plus choke system. Verify your shotgun's choke compatibility before purchase—this tube is designed specifically for Invector Plus.

What shot sizes work best with the Bone Collector?

This choke has been pattern tested and performs best with shot sizes #4 through #10. If you use shot larger than #4, switch to a more open choke tube for optimal patterning. Do not use steel shot larger than #4, slugs, sabots, rifled slugs, or 00/000 buckshot through this choke.

Will this work with TSS, hevi-shot, tungsten, and bismuth loads?

Yes. The Bone Collector has been factory tested and validated with lead, nickel-plated, copper-plated, bismuth, hevi-shot, tungsten, and TSS ammunition. However, different manufacturers and load types will produce different patterns, so pattern your specific shotgun and ammunition combination before hunting.

Why should I pattern my gun with this choke before the season?

Pattern testing ensures you understand how your particular shotgun, choke tube, and ammunition combination perform at hunting distances. Different ammunition brands and load types throw different patterns from the same choke, so testing removes guesswork and improves your odds in the field.
