Carlsons Carl 50003 Benelli Crio/crio Plus 12ga Flush Mod
$32.99
The Carlsons Carl 50003 is a flush-mounted Mod choke tube engineered specifically for Benelli Crio and Crio Plus 12-gauge shotguns. If your original choke tube has worn out, corroded, or gone missing, this is a straightforward replacement that restores your gun's versatility without altering its profile or aesthetics. Built from corrosion-resistant 17-4 PH stainless steel, it handles both lead and steel shot, making it a reliable choice whether you're hunting waterfowl, upland game, or shooting clays.
A flush-mounted choke sits nearly flush with the barrel muzzle, preserving the clean lines of your shotgun and keeping snags out of brush or dense cover—handy when you're navigating thick terrain. The Mod constriction is one of the most versatile patterns in shotgun shooting, offering a tighter spread than Improved Cylinder but less extreme than Full, so you'll have solid pellet density at mid-range without sacrificing shot pattern at closer distances. It's a sensible middle ground for hunters who move between different yardages or birds during a single outing.
Carlsons has built its reputation on quality choke manufacturing, and this tube reflects that—precision-engineered to fit Benelli's tolerances and threaded for a secure, rattle-free seat. Backed by a lifetime warranty, this is a no-nonsense replacement that won't cost you a hunting season.
