Title: Bass Pro Choke Tube
Post by: CASH on February 06, 2014, 10:49:19 AM
Just left Bass Pro. They have a tube now, made by Carlsons and looks just like the Hevi choke. $39.99

I saw those as well. Figured they probably shoot no different than the other identical choke.

That's what I thinking. Just found it interesting that BPS jumped on the turkey choke train finally.

Any chance the internals are different than the Hevi? I couldn't see them renaming it and using different packing and then selling it cheaper than the Hevi.

Why not? A lot of companies do that exact thing.

True! I guess I was thinking from a greed state of mind. It didn't register to me that they are probably making these things at such a low cost that they can still make a profit with this method.

When you order, say, 5000 at a time there is slot of profit to be made

I used to shoot a Carlson's .675 choke that probably was about the same as that one.  It shot lead 6's very well.  Hevi-13 loads not so much.
