The Kicks High Flyer in Modified constriction is an extended, ported choke tube machined for Beretta Optima HP threaded 12 gauge barrels. It's a favorite among duck and goose hunters who want cleaner patterns and a softer-shooting gun without swapping out to a specialty barrel. Modified sits in that sweet-spot range that handles decoying birds and mid-distance passing shots, and it plays well with both lead and non-toxic loads.
Two things make this tube worth the upgrade over factory chokes. First is the conical/parallel internal profile, which eases the shot column into constriction to cut down on flyers and pump up pattern density by as much as 20 percent. Second is the exclusive outward-angled diagonal porting. Those slots act like a built-in muzzle brake, venting gas to reduce felt recoil by roughly 25 percent and knocking down muzzle jump so your second shot gets on target faster. It's the kind of difference you notice on a long day in the blind.
This choke threads into barrels cut for the Beretta Optima HP pattern, which covers guns like the A400 Xplor, A400 Xcel, 692, DT-11, and the SV10 series. Worth noting: Optima HP and standard Optima are not the same thread, so double-check your barrel before ordering. It hand-tightens without a special tool, though a quick snug with a choke wrench before you shoot keeps it from backing out under recoil.
Kicks machines the High Flyer from 17-4 PH stainless steel on computer-controlled equipment, so it holds up to steel shot and shrugs off the wet, muddy conditions waterfowlers deal with. At right around 6.3 inches overall with a black finish, it's an extended tube that's easy to grab and easy to identify in your kit. Whether you're chasing distant geese, working ducks over decoys, or knocking down pheasants, this is a proven performer that earns its spot in the bag.
It threads into 12 gauge barrels cut for the Beretta Optima HP pattern, which includes guns like the A400 Xplor, A400 Xcel, 692, DT-11, and the SV10 Prevail and Perennia. Standard Optima and Optima HP are different thread patterns, so confirm your barrel is the HP style before ordering. When in doubt, compare your existing choke to the Optima HP measurements or check with a gunsmith.
Yes. The tube is machined from 17-4 PH stainless steel and is built to handle steel and other non-toxic loads, which is exactly why it's popular with waterfowlers. The Modified constriction is a versatile choice for decoying and mid-range shots. It also works fine with lead if you're chasing upland birds.
No special tool is required to thread it in by hand. That said, giving it a final snug with a choke wrench before shooting is a good idea to keep it from loosening under recoil. Check that it stays tight during a hunt, since a loose tube can damage the barrel.
The outward-angled diagonal ports vent gas to act like a built-in brake, cutting felt recoil by about 25 percent and reducing muzzle jump. That means your gun settles faster for quicker, more accurate follow-up shots. Combined with the conical/parallel bore, the design also boosts pattern density by up to 20 percent.
