Carlsons Carl 41003 Core Ber/benelli Mobil 12ga Close Range

The Carlson's Core 12ga Close Range choke tube is engineered for Beretta and Benelli Mobil shotguns, delivering tight, consistent patterns at distances where most waterfowl and upland birds come into range. This Improved Cylinder constriction opens up your spread quickly—ideal for fast-rising ducks, flushing pheasants, and other close-quarters hunting moments where speed matters more than reach. The Core series was built to handle the real world: lead, steel, bismuth, tungsten, and specialty loads all shoot reliably through it, so you're not locked into one ammunition type.

What sets the Core line apart is its honest design philosophy. Carlson's didn't overengineer for scenarios most hunters never face. Instead, they optimized for the ranges and game birds you'll actually encounter. The Close Range tube shines from 5 to 20 yards with lead shot and 15 to 30 yards with steel—the sweet spot for most hunting situations. Each choke is clearly marked with its range designation both on the packaging and lasered into the choke head itself, so there's no guesswork in the field.

The Core line accepts shot sizes from BB down to 10, making it versatile enough for a single hunt that might involve multiple species or changing conditions. It's the kind of practical, no-nonsense tool that works for novices learning their gun and experienced hunters who value reliability over complexity. If you're running a Beretta or Benelli Mobil and want a workhorse close-range tube that handles any common shotgun load, this is your answer.
