Description
Duck and goose hunting lives and dies by your pattern, and a factory choke rarely gives you the density you want past 25 yards. This Carlson's Delta Waterfowl choke is the mid-range option for Benelli shotguns cut for the Crio Plus system, with a .605 constriction that fills the gap between decoy-range work and long pokes. It's dialed in for those 25 to 40 yard shots where most birds actually get taken.
What Makes the Delta Waterfowl Mid-Range Tube Tick
The heart of this thing is a 25% longer parallel section than you'll find in a lot of conventional chokes. That extended straight portion settles the shot column down before it leaves the muzzle, which cuts down on flyers and keeps your pattern denser and more even. The tube also extends about three-quarters of an inch past the barrel, and that little bit of extra length helps protect your barrel threads from the wear that comes with running steel shot season after season.
Steel Shot Ready and Built to Last
Carlson's machines these from 17-4 stainless steel, so corrosion from wet blinds and salt marshes isn't going to eat it up. The mid-range constriction handles all steel shot sizes without complaint, so you've got room to run larger pellets for bigger birds. Lead and approved non-tox loads work great too. As always, pattern your gun with the exact load you plan to hunt, since different ammo brands throw different patterns from the same tube.
Handling the Carlson's Extended Choke in the Field
The muzzle end is knurled so you can grab it and back it out with cold, wet hands, and the constriction and size are laser marked right on the tube so there's no guessing which one you've got in. It's a Made in the USA product backed by Carlson's lifetime warranty, and a portion of every Delta Waterfowl sale goes toward duck production and conservation work. That's a nice bonus on top of a choke that just plain patterns better than most factory tubes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Delta Waterfowl choke fit my Benelli 20 gauge?
This tube is cut specifically for the Benelli Crio Plus choke system in 20 gauge, so it screws right into any 20 gauge Benelli that uses Crio Plus threads. It won't fit older Benelli Mobil-threaded barrels, so double-check which system your barrel uses before ordering. If your gun came from the factory with Crio Plus tubes, you're good to go.
Can I run steel shot through this choke?
Yes, this mid-range constriction is designed for steel and patterns it very well. All steel shot sizes are approved for the mid-range tube, so you've got flexibility for everything from teal to honkers. The extended design also helps shield your barrel from the wear that heavy steel loads can cause over time.
What range is the mid-range choke best for?
The mid-range constriction is built for that 25 to 40 yard window, which covers most of the shots you'll take in a typical duck or goose setup. If you're mostly shooting birds locked up over the decoys inside 35 yards, this is your tube. For consistent shots past 40 yards, the long-range version would pair nicely alongside it.
How does this differ from a standard factory choke?
The big difference is the 25% longer parallel section, which lets the shot column stabilize before it exits and gives you tighter, denser patterns with fewer flyers. It's also machined from 17-4 stainless steel and extends past the muzzle for added durability and barrel protection. Pattern it with your hunting load to see exactly what it's doing on paper.
