Carlson's Choke Tubes 11567 Cremator 118304 12 Gauge Long Range Ported 17-4 Stainless Steel

The Carlson's Cremator 12 gauge long range ported choke tube is purpose-built for shooters who demand extended range and tight patterns downrange. Machined from 17-4 stainless steel, this Beretta Optima HP-compatible tube combines durability with the performance advantage of porting—gas vents that reduce recoil and muzzle rise while tightening your shot pattern at distance. If you're running a Beretta or compatible gun platform and hunting waterfowl, upland game, or shooting clay targets beyond typical ranges, the Cremator delivers the pattern control to make those long shots count.

Ported choke tubes have earned their reputation among waterfowl and long-range game hunters. The ports allow expanding gases to escape, which lowers felt recoil and helps stabilize the shot column, producing denser, more consistent patterns at 40+ yards. Stainless steel construction stands up to the salt spray and repeated cycling that come with serious field use, and it resists corrosion in wet conditions where most hunters find themselves.

Installation is straightforward if your Beretta or Optima HP–compatible shotgun accepts Beretta-style choke tubes. Hand-tighten the tube into the muzzle—no special tools required. The ported design does increase muzzle noise slightly compared to conventional tubes, so ear protection remains essential at the range. Patterning before the season is always smart; even the best choke tube performs only as well as the load you run through it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this choke tube fit my Beretta shotgun?

The Cremator 11567 is designed for Beretta Optima HP–compatible shotguns that accept Beretta-style choke tubes. Check your gun's manual or contact the manufacturer if you're unsure whether your model uses Optima HP tubes.

What does a ported choke tube do?

Porting reduces recoil and muzzle rise by allowing expanding gases to escape through ports near the muzzle. This helps stabilize the shot pattern and can produce denser, tighter patterns at long range, making it popular with waterfowl and distance-conscious game hunters.

Is patterning necessary before I hunt?

Yes. Every shotgun, barrel, and load combination patterns differently. Spend time at the range to verify that your setup delivers the pattern density and point of impact you need for your hunting or sport shooting distance.

What's included with the choke tube?

The package includes the choke tube itself. Installation requires only hand-tightening into the muzzle of your compatible shotgun—no special tools are needed.
