Carlson’s Black Cloud 12GA Rem Choke Extended Long Range Full .700

Description

When you're reaching out for late-season ducks or high-flying geese, pattern density at distance is what fills straps. This is Carlson's Black Cloud long-range choke, purpose-built to get the most out of Federal's Black Cloud steel loads while still patterning nicely with other steel shotshells you might have in the bag. It carries a .700 constriction, which puts it in full territory for a 12 gauge, and threads into the standard Rem Choke pattern found on Remington 870, 1100, and 11-87 shotguns.

What sets this one apart from a plain steel choke is the titanium coating over the steel body. That coating is there to work hand in hand with the FliteControl wad in Black Cloud ammo, cutting down on the plastic and residue buildup that can foul up a choke over a long hunt. Less buildup means the wad and Flitestopper shot do their job clean, shot after shot, so you get more consistent patterns without babysitting the choke.

Why the Black Cloud Long Range Choke Earns Its Spot

This is the extended, non-ported version, which matters. Black Cloud loads are designed to run through chokes without porting or wad-stopping devices, so this tube is a natural match. The extended, knurled body makes it easy to swap by hand at the truck or in the blind, and the longer parallel section helps settle the pattern down for those longer shots.

Feeding Your Black Cloud Choke the Right Loads

Because this is the long-range model, keep it fed with steel shot no larger than BB and running 1550 fps or slower. Stick inside those numbers and you'll get the tight, even patterns this choke was designed to throw. It's made in the USA and backed by Carlson's lifetime warranty, so if anything ever goes sideways with the tube, they'll take care of you.
