Description
This is the long-range piece of Carlson's Cremator waterfowl lineup, machined specifically for 20 gauge Benelli Crio and Crio Plus shotguns with the .592 bore. It is the choke you reach for when the birds are hanging out at the edge of your comfortable range and you want your pattern to hold together instead of blowing open. Between the extended body and the ported design, it is built to keep more pellets in the ring where it counts.
What Triple Shot Technology Does in the Cremator
The heart of this tube is Carlson's Triple Shot Technology, which is a series of three graduated rings machined into the taper. Instead of squeezing the shot column down in one abrupt step, those rings ease it into the final constriction gradually. The payoff is less pellet deformation, fewer flyers, and a denser core pattern. That matters most with steel, which does not like being crammed through a tight choke all at once, and it is a big reason this line has earned a reputation for throwing clean, even patterns.
Why the Ported Cremator Earns a Spot in Your Vest
This version is both extended and ported. The extended body gives you roughly a 25 percent longer parallel section than a flush tube, which helps settle the shot before it leaves the muzzle for tighter, more uniform patterns. The ports bleed off gas to knock down muzzle jump, so you stay on target for a quick second shot on a dropping mallard or a passing goose. The knurled, extended end also means you can swap it by hand without digging for a wrench.
Built to Take a Beating
Carlson's builds the Cremator from heat-treated 17-4 stainless steel, the same corrosion-resistant grade that holds up through wet, muddy, salt-air blind seasons far better than a lot of factory tubes. It is made in the USA and backed by a lifetime warranty. The long-range constriction is happiest running steel, lead, Bismuth, and Hevi-Shot loads out at 40 yards and beyond, making it a smart upgrade for anyone chasing ducks and geese with a 20 gauge Benelli.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Cremator choke fit my 20 gauge Benelli?
It is machined for 20 gauge Benelli Crio and Crio Plus shotguns with the .592 bore. If your barrel uses the Crio thread pattern, this tube drops right in and installs by hand thanks to the knurled extended end. When in doubt, check your barrel or owner's manual for the Crio designation before ordering.
Can I run steel shot through the long-range Cremator?
Yes. Carlson's rates the Cremator series with no size or speed restrictions when using steel shot in this constriction, and it also handles lead, Bismuth, and Hevi-Shot loads. That flexibility is a big part of why it is a popular waterfowl choke.
What range is this long-range choke best for?
The long-range constriction is built to shine at 40 yards and beyond, where you want a tight, dense core pattern to reach ducks and geese hanging out on the edge. For decoying birds working in close, you would typically want to step down to a mid-range tube. Patterning your specific load at the ranges you hunt is always the best way to dial it in.
What does the porting on the Cremator do?
The ports vent gas near the muzzle to help reduce muzzle jump and felt recoil. That keeps you back on target faster for a follow-up shot on a second bird. If you shoot doubles or want a flatter-shooting setup, the ported version is worth it.
