Description
The Carlson's CORE Mid-Range choke tube fills that sweet spot every 12-gauge owner runs into eventually: birds and clays that break at distances too far for an improved cylinder but too close to justify a full choke. With a .705 constriction that patterns like a modified, it keeps your shot column together through that 20 to 35 yard window where a lot of good shots happen. It threads into any Beretta or Benelli Mobil-style barrel, so if your shotgun runs Mobilchoke tubes, this one drops right in.
What Makes the CORE Mid-Range Choke Tube Tick
Carlson's builds these out of 17-4 heat-treated stainless steel, CNC milled from solid bar stock, which is a big step up from the softer stainless a lot of factory tubes use. That matters most when you're running heavy steel loads or buffered shells, since the harder material holds its shape shot after shot. The constriction and size are laser marked right on the tube, so there's no squinting or second-guessing which choke is which when you're swapping in the field.
Loads This Choke Was Built to Handle
One of the strong points of the CORE series is how flexible it is with ammo. This mid-range tube is rated for shot sizes BB through 10 across lead, steel, bismuth, tungsten and TSS, matrix loads, duplex loads, blends, and Hevi-Shot. That covers doves, ducks, pheasants, geese, and small game, and it does double duty for trap and sporting clays when you want a bit more reach than a skeet or IC tube gives you. Being able to run one choke across that many loads makes it a genuinely handy tube to keep in the truck.
Getting the Most Out of Your Mid-Range Choke
Every gun, choke, and load combo patterns a little differently, so it pays to shoot a few patterns at your expected distance before you count on it in the blind or on the course. Keep in mind steel shot patterns tighter than lead, so a modified tube with steel behaves closer to a full. Carlson's backs the whole lineup with a lifetime warranty, and these tubes are made in the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Carlson's mid-range choke tube fit my shotgun?
It's cut for the Beretta and Benelli Mobil (Mobilchoke) threading, so it fits 12-gauge shotguns that use that choke system. If your Beretta or Benelli runs Mobil-style tubes, this one threads right in. When in doubt, check what choke system your barrel is marked for before ordering.
What kind of shot can I run through the CORE Mid-Range choke?
This tube is rated for a wide spread of loads including lead, steel, bismuth, tungsten and TSS, matrix, duplex, blends, and Hevi-Shot in shot sizes BB through 10. That flexibility is part of what makes the CORE series so easy to live with, since one choke handles most of what you'd shoot. Keep in mind steel patterns tighter than lead through the same constriction.
What distance is the mid-range choke best for?
The .705 modified constriction is built for that in-between range, roughly 20 to 35 yards with lead. It's a great all-around pick when your shots are too far for an improved cylinder but you don't need a full choke's reach. It works equally well for upland birds, decoying waterfowl, and sporting clays.
How is this choke tube made and is it backed by a warranty?
Carlson's machines these from 17-4 heat-treated stainless steel, which stands up to steel shot and heavy loads better than the softer stainless found in many factory tubes. They're made in the USA and carry Carlson's lifetime warranty. If it ever gets damaged, you can send it back for a replacement.
