Carlson's built the CORE series to be the choke tube you reach for without overthinking it, and the #1 Close Range is the short-yardage member of that lineup. It threads into 12-gauge Benelli Crio and Crio Plus barrels, including popular models like the SBE2, SBE3, and M2, and delivers an Improved Cylinder constriction that keeps your pattern open enough for fast, close targets while still holding things together. If your birds are decoying in tight or your clays are breaking early, this is the tube that puts pellets where you're pointing.
The Close Range designation means this choke is dialed in for that first stretch of yardage. Carlson's lists it as effective roughly 5 to 20 yards with lead and 15 to 30 yards with steel, which lines up well with decoying ducks, flushing pheasants, dove over a field, and closer sporting clays presentations. It gives you a forgiving spread up close without blowing the pattern apart, so you get clean, repeatable hits instead of guesswork.
One of the reasons folks like the CORE series is the versatility. This tube is rated for lead, steel, bismuth, tungsten and TSS, Hevi-Shot, plus matrix and duplex blends, all in shot sizes from BB down to #10. That flexibility means you can run your favorite waterfowl load one weekend and switch to upland or clays the next without swapping tubes.
Every Carlson's choke is CNC machined from solid 17-4 stainless steel bar stock and heat treated, which is why these tubes hold up season after season against the elements and hot loads. It's made in the USA and backed by Carlson's lifetime warranty, so if anything ever happens to it, you send it back and they take care of you. For the price of admission, it's a serious upgrade over a factory tube and a smart way to get more out of a Benelli you already trust.
Yes, as long as your shotgun uses the Benelli Crio or Crio Plus threading. That covers a lot of popular 12-gauge guns including the Super Black Eagle 2, Super Black Eagle 3, and M2. If you're not sure which choke system your barrel takes, check your owner's manual or the markings on your factory tube before ordering.
It's an Improved Cylinder style choke built for shorter distances, so it shines on decoying waterfowl, flushing upland birds, dove, and closer clay targets. Carlson's rates it around 5 to 20 yards with lead and 15 to 30 yards with steel. The open pattern gives you a forgiving spread when targets are working in tight.
Absolutely. The CORE series is rated for lead, steel, bismuth, tungsten and TSS, Hevi-Shot, and blended loads in shot sizes from BB down to #10. That versatility is a big part of why one tube can cover waterfowl, upland, and range days without swapping.
Carlson's machines these from solid 17-4 stainless steel that's heat treated for durability, and every tube is developed off years of real patterning data. Aftermarket tubes like this typically give you tighter, more consistent patterns and better tolerance for modern non-toxic loads than the stock tube. It's also backed by a lifetime warranty and made in the USA.
