Carlson's Cremator Waterfowl Long-Range Ported Choke Tube for 12 ga Benelli Crio/Crio Plus .697

The Carlson's Cremator Waterfowl Long-Range Ported Choke Tube for 12 gauge Benelli Crio/Crio Plus (.697 diameter) delivers optimized shot patterns for extended-range waterfowl hunting applications. This ported choke tube integrates Carlson's proprietary Triple Shot Technology (TST), a precision engineering approach that reshapes how pellets transition from the shotgun bore to final constriction, resulting in denser, more consistent downrange patterns with measurably reduced pellet deformation.

The TST design features three graduated rings in the taper section that create a progressive, gradual transition rather than an abrupt choke restriction. This engineering refinement minimizes pellet flyers—erratic shot placement caused by deformed projectiles—while maintaining pattern density across extended ranges where waterfowl typically present challenging targets. The ported design further manages recoil impulse and muzzle rise during rapid second shots, a practical advantage on teal flights or when engagement distances demand follow-up accuracy. The tube is machined for direct compatibility with Benelli Crio and Crio Plus shotguns in the standard (.697) bore diameter specification.

This long-range constriction sits within Carlson's Cremator lineup, which covers close-, mid-, and extended-distance scenarios across the waterfowl hunting calendar. Long-range variants serve duck and goose hunters operating over large water or working decoy spreads where birds commit at 40+ yards. The choke's performance profile rewards shooters who pattern their specific ammunition (steel shot for waterfowl requires different patterning than lead alternatives) and who understand how velocity, pellet count, and shot size interact with constriction levels to produce effective terminal patterns at distance.
