Reviews & Ratings for Carlson's Benelli Crio Cremator Waterfowl Choke Tube — 5 reviews — Page 1

Patterned really well. Held a great pattern in poster board 22" circle got 113 pellets.. Shooting Hevi metal 3"-2shot..Great chokes for the money.. competes with higher end chokes for sure. Ports work as should with a little less recoil.

For my Super Vinci, at 25 yards with win. 3.5, 2, it is pretty much a 15 inch pattern with few flyers. But all the way out to 50 yards was a solid 30 inch even pattern without much or any pellet loss wow just wish it was a little tighter of a pattern all the way through

My use of Carlson's chokes began sometime in the mid 90's. I used a Browning Citori exclusively for hunting and clays. Shot gunning is my primary hobby. I shoot clays year round either skeet, sporting clays or just in the field at home and would consider myself addicted to wing shooting. Ducks, doves, crows whatever flys. The citori was flawless Except with my duck load Remington Nitro Steel #3. Patterns were poor at best. So I started experimenting with aftermarket chokes. Carlson's chokes solved my problem and I used those same couple chokes for the next many years with much success. About 6 years ago I started using a Benelli SBE2. The factory chokes are very good. However I had become loyal to Carlson's so I ordered chokes in the same constrictions that served me so well in my Browning. They were just as great and consistent as those I had depended on for many years before. I couldn't be happier with those chokes. I wasn't looking to change anything then as things go I saw one YouTube video that turned into many weeks of choke research online. I convinced myself perhaps newer technology might give me the patterns I already trust with denser cores. I had almost convinced myself Muller Chokes was the first I'd try. There were Great reviews then not so great ones. You don't have to read a lot of any review to determine if the author's review has merit or not. Of all the chokes I read about I actually elected to try first the brand I already had loyalty to that seemed it woul...

Incredibly very good patterns with all three Cremator ( LR,MR,CR ) choke tubes. This year I have only shot Trap, Skeet, and hunted grouse . For Trap I do very well with both the LR and MR tubes. Skeet and grouse the CR is a winner. My Skeet and Trap scores are more consistent in the high scores. As for grouse I have been bagging more with my hits. Though that could not only be due to the great choke tube patterns. But my practice at the shotgun games. Worth trying and you will like them.
