Overview
Designed for hunters who want tighter control from a 12-gauge Benelli setup, this choke tube is intended for coyote work and other predator applications where dense patterns matter at extended distances. It is listed for use with Hevi-Shot, Bismuth, or lead, and the description notes strong performance with larger shot sizes as well as T and #4 Buckshot loads. The result is a purpose-built option for hunters who want a specialized choke for predator and waterfowl use rather than a general-purpose tube.
