Trulock’s New Boar Blaster Choke Tube

Trulock has come up with the new Boar Blaster™ Choke Tube, a 4-inch choke tube with .030 constriction specifically designed to produce the best and tightest possible 00 and 000 buckshot patterns you can get from any choke tube on the market today.

For the Boar Blaster™, they’ve come up with a new forcing cone that is different from any they’ve made before. It consists of 5 “steps” that constrict the diameter of the tube before the shot enters the parallel section of the tube. The result is tighter patterns than come from typical conical parallel interior chokes.

Although the Boar Blaster™ Choke Tube is new, Trulock did a great deal of testing on the range with this choke before releasing it. They found that the new Boar Blaster™ Choke produced tighter patterns at 40 yards with every brand of 00/000 buckshot they tested – 25 percent tighter at 40 yards.

Aside from wanting to make the best possible product, Trulock Choke Tubes takes such pains on product development and testing because they fully stand behind their products, with a guarantee that effectively eliminates risk for the customer.

If you buy a choke from them and aren’t completely satisfied with your purchase you can return it for an exchange or refund within 60 days from the date of purchase. Trulock’s also has a lifetime warranty on all choke tubes. If your tube fails for any reason you can return it and the choke will be replaced at no charge.

The Trulock family wants you to get the right choke for your needs, and has the customer service to back it up. If you’re planning on a hog hunt or a deer hunt with 00 or 000 buckshot this year, you owe it to yourself to check out the Boar Blaster™ Choke Tube on the Trulock Choke Tubes website at www.trulockchokes.com Be sure to watch the video of Scott Trulock patterning the Boar Blaster choke – it gives you a good idea of what the choke is like and the patterns it produces.
