Overview
Built for hunters who want tighter control over shot placement, this extended 12 gauge choke tube is designed for non-toxic loads in medium to extended-range goose hunting. Its wad-stripping design is intended to shorten the shot string, while the ported construction is meant to help reduce recoil and muzzle jump for quicker follow-up shots. It is configured for Benelli Crio/Crio Plus threads and approved for steel shot, but it is not intended for use with flight control wad ammunition or slugs.

- The extended 1-1/2 inch profile and ported design may be a consideration for hunters who prefer a more compact, non-ported setup.
- Pattern performance is described as similar to a Full constriction choke on paper, but the tube’s shorter shot string changes how it behaves in the field.
