Carlson’s Delta Waterfowl Long Range Choke – Benelli Crio Plus 12GA

Description

When the ducks won't commit and every shot is stretched out past 40 yards, this is the choke you want threaded into your Benelli. Carlson's built the Delta Waterfowl Long Range tube specifically for the Crio Plus 12 gauge pattern, with a .695 constriction that squeezes steel into a dense core without blowing patterns apart. It's machined from 17-4 stainless steel, which is the corrosion-resistant stuff that holds up to wet blinds, salt marshes, and a season of neglect in the bottom of your blind bag.

What Makes the Delta Waterfowl Long Range Choke Tick

The real story here is the extended parallel section. Carlson's runs a longer straight portion inside the choke than most factory tubes, which gives the shot column more time to settle down before it leaves the muzzle. The payoff is fewer flyers and more pellets on the bird where it counts. The tube also extends about three-quarters of an inch past your barrel, which takes the brunt of prolonged steel shot use so your barrel threads stay in good shape.

Getting the Most From Your Crio Plus Setup

This is the tightest tube in Carlson's waterfowl lineup, and it shines on shots from 40 yards and out. It handles all steel shot sizes, though you'll want to keep steel at BB or smaller and under 1550 FPS through this particular Long Range constriction. Anything heavier or faster is better sent through a mid-range tube. The end is knurled so you can spin it in and out by hand, and the constriction is laser marked right on the body so there's no guessing which tube you're grabbing in low light.

Carlson's has been patterning shotguns for over 30 years, all of these tubes are made in the USA, and they back every one with a lifetime warranty. Pattern it with the exact load you plan to hunt and you'll know precisely what your gun is putting downrange.
