Carlsons Carl 41015 Core Winchester 12ga Mid Range

The Carlson's Core Winchester 12 gauge mid-range choke tube is built for hunters and shooters who want one reliable, versatile choke that handles real-world hunting scenarios without overthinking it. Part of Carlson's CORE Series, this mid-range choke delivers modified constriction and is rated for shot sizes BB through 10 in lead, steel, bismuth, tungsten/TSS, and alternative loads—so you're not locked into one ammunition type. That versatility matters when you're juggling different hunting seasons or sharing a shotgun with other shooters.

The mid-range choke excels in the 20–35 yard window with lead shot and 25–45 yards with steel, making it a natural fit for ducks, pheasants, and geese where birds often come in medium distance. The constriction is laser-marked on the choke head, and Carlson's includes a yardage reference on the packaging so you can quickly match the right choke to your hunting setup without guessing. It's straightforward: pick the range where you typically encounter game, and this choke handles it.

Built to the same quality standard as Carlson's premium lines but designed for everyday use, the CORE Series Mid Range choke fits Winchester-threaded 12 gauge shotguns and works across a broad spectrum of load types and shot compositions. Whether you're a newcomer finding your footing or an experienced hand who values simplicity over complicated choke selection, this mid-range option bridges the gap between close-range and distant work.
