Carlsons Choke Tubes 12 Gauge Cremator Ported for Beretta Benelli

In this review of the Carlsons Choke Tubes 12 Gauge Cremator Ported for Beretta Benelli Mobil, the bottom line is simple: waterfowl and long-range field hunters who want tight, reliable patterns will appreciate these tubes. The reviewer found the stainless construction and Carlson's decades of patterning data make a tangible difference in consistent shot placement. Fit, pattern density and reduced pellet deformation were the standout benefits during testing with varied loads, and the lifetime warranty and US manufacture add practical reassurance.

Key Features

• 30 years of pattern data: Backed by three decades of patterning and thousands of load tests, the tube produces predictable and repeatable patterns for informed choke selection.
• Stainless steel construction: The high-quality stainless body resists corrosion in wet field conditions common to waterfowl hunting and feels solid in hand.
• Cremator Ported design: The porting reduces muzzle jump and perceived recoil, helping shooters recover quickly for follow-up shots.
• TST tapered section: The three graduated rings in the taper reduce pellet deformation and lower the number of flyers for denser patterns.
• Mid-range constriction: Set at a measured 0.71 diameter, the choke is tuned for longer-range waterfowl and tight upland shots where pattern density matters.
• Lifetime warranty: Carlson's lifetime coverage removes long-term worry about manufacturing defects and supports heavy seasonal use.

Who It's For

The Carlsons 12 gauge Cremator Ported tube is best for waterfowlers and serious wing hunters using Beretta or Benelli Mobil-style barrels who want a mid-range constriction that emphasizes pattern quality and reduced pellet deformation. It suits shooters who value US-made components and those who switch loads and need a predictable choke from a company with extensive patterning data.

Less suitable for casual clay shooters who favor very open chokes for close targets, or for owners of shotguns that do not use Mobil-style removable choke systems. Those seeking the tightest possible full-modified or turkey-specific constrictions should look at more specialized tubes instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Excellent fit for Beretta and Benelli Mobil systems, with several customers reporting perfect fit and reliable installation.
• Consistent patterning from the TST taper and Carlson's accumulated testing makes shot placement more predictable at range.
• Durable stainless finish and US manufacture provide long-term confidence in wet environments and heavy use.
• Porting helps control muzzle rise, improving follow-up shot speed.

Cons

• Mid-range 0.71 constriction is specialized; shooters wanting very open or extremely tight turkey-style patterns may need a different tube.
• Ported tubes can be noisier in very close cover compared with non-ported models, which may matter in some blind setups.
