The Carlsons Core Benelli Crio/Crio Plus 12 gauge mid-range choke tube gives you a modified constriction built for the 20–35 yard sweet spot with lead shot, or 25–45 yards when running steel. Part of Carlsons' CORE Series—engineered for hunters who want one reliable choke that handles the everyday scenarios—this mid-range tube bridges the gap between close-range spreads and distant targets. Whether you're working doves and ducks over a pond, hitting pheasants in brush, or running sporting clays, a modified mid-range constriction keeps your pattern tight enough to count without over-constraining your shot string.
The CORE design is ammunition-agnostic: shoot lead, steel, bismuth, tungsten, TSS, or specialty loads like Hevi-Shot and duplex blends through it without worry. Shot sizes BB down to 10 are all in play, giving you flexibility across a season's worth of hunting and shooting disciplines. Each choke is laser-marked on the head and clearly labeled on its packaging, so you'll never guess whether you're holding close range, mid range, or long range—and the included yardage reference removes the guesswork from choke selection entirely.
Designed for Benelli Crio and Crio Plus shotguns, this choke tube is precision-machined to fit your gun's threads without rattle or hassle. Carlsons built the CORE series to work for everyone from first-time hunters to seasoned veterans, without cutting corners on quality or reliability.
