well unranked and unmodded yes. but after you get a good crit+faction specific elemental damage build on both, i think the Strun Wraith's higher base damage balances everything out, since everything, mod damage and crit damage, will scale better. i think the strun wraith is better, since more Damage per SHOT (not damage per second), but overall the DPS(this is damage per SECOND LOL) i think would be the same. I don't have Boar Prime yet, but from the way things stand, I would think the Boar Prime may out-DPS the Strun Wraith after an extended period of shooting, but seriously if you have to shoot that long with a shotgun to kill a mob you are doing something wrong lol (unless it's a boss, but even bosses can't take that many shotgun hits. i remember 4 shotting the new Update 11 Stalker with a Magnetic build on my Strun Wraith lol, and taking down Kril in like...7 or 8 shots with my Blast Damage Build?)

for shotguns, you really want one that can kill everything in one shot, and the shotgun ammo pool isnt that large really, so I would say the Strun Wraith is more convenient to use. But Boar Prime is a good stubstitue for the Strun Wraith for anybody who wasn't able to obtain it from the Survival Event.
