Description
When ducks and geese aren't quite cupping into the decoys but they're still in range, the mid-range constriction is the sweet spot most waterfowlers reach for. Carlson's built this Delta Waterfowl tube in an extended Rem Choke configuration for 20 gauge shotguns, and it's dialed in for shots in that 25 to 40 yard window where a lot of your best passing opportunities happen.
What Sets the Delta Waterfowl Mid-Range Choke Apart
The heart of this design is a longer parallel section, which Carlson's stretches about 25 percent longer than a standard tube. That extra straight run settles the shot column down before it leaves the muzzle, which cuts down on flyers and hands you a more even, denser pattern downrange. It also lets you run larger steel shot through tighter constrictions without beating up your gun, and this tube extends roughly 3/4 inch past the barrel to help protect the muzzle from prolonged steel use.
Materials and Everyday Use of the Delta Waterfowl Extended Choke
It's machined from 17-4 stainless steel, which is the good stuff for standing up to salt marshes, rain, and the general abuse that comes with a season in the blind. The end of the tube is knurled so you can grab it with cold, wet fingers and swap it out without fumbling for a wrench, and Carlson's laser marks the constriction and size right on the body so you're never guessing which tube you've got in hand. Steel, lead, hevi-shot, it all patterns well through the mid-range.
This is a Rem Choke pattern, so it drops into Remington and other shotguns cut for that thread. As always, pattern it on paper with the exact load you plan to hunt, since different shells throw different patterns from the same tube. Carlson's makes these right here in the USA and backs them with a lifetime warranty, so it's a tube you can lean on for a long time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What shotguns does this Delta Waterfowl choke fit?
This tube is cut in the Remington Rem Choke pattern, so it fits Remington 20 gauge shotguns and other guns threaded for the Rem Choke system. If you're unsure what your barrel is threaded for, check the markings stamped on your barrel or the choke tube that came with the gun. When in doubt, match the choke style before ordering.
When should I use the mid-range constriction instead of close or long range?
The mid-range is built for shots roughly 25 to 40 yards out, which covers a lot of typical decoy and passing situations. Close range tubes are tighter for birds working right in over the spread up to about 35 yards, while long range tubes are meant for reaching birds 40 yards and beyond. Mid-range is the versatile middle ground most hunters find themselves using most.
Can I shoot steel shot through the Delta Waterfowl mid-range choke?
Yes, steel patterns very well through this tube and all steel shot sizes may be run through the mid-range constriction. The 17-4 stainless steel construction and the extended body that sits past the barrel both help protect your gun during heavy steel use. It's a solid choice whether you're shooting steel, lead, or a tungsten blend.
Do I really need to pattern this choke with my load?
It's worth the time. Different brands and shot sizes throw noticeably different patterns from the same choke, so putting a few shells on paper tells you exactly what your gun and load are doing at hunting distances. A few minutes at the pattern board can be the difference between clean kills and cripples in the field.
