The Carlson’s Cremator Beretta Optima HP 12 Gauge Close Range Ported Choke Tube (brand part number 11563) uses Carlson’s Triple Shot Technology, a series of three graduated rings in the tube’s taper section that create a more gradual transition from the shotgun’s bore to the choke’s final constriction, reducing pellet deformation for consistent patterns on close-range waterfowl. Unlike the Cremator’s Long Range Optima HP option, this Close Range model carries no size or speed restriction with steel shot, giving hunters more flexibility in load selection. Carlson’s also builds in the extended choke tube’s signature 25 percent longer parallel section for tighter, denser patterns, along with wrench-less installation and quick removal that doubles as muzzle protection. It threads into Beretta shotguns using the Optima HP pattern.
