The Beretta OptimaChoke HP 12 Gauge Improved Cylinder Extended Choke Tube (brand part no. C62142) is a genuine Beretta OptimaChoke HP choke tube, machined to the same spec as the factory original, giving 12-gauge Beretta shotgun owners a direct upgrade path for their OptimaChoke HP-threaded barrel. The improved cylinder constriction opens the pattern for closer targets like upland birds flushing at short range. Built in the extended profile, it protrudes about three-quarters of an inch beyond the muzzle so the constriction is easy to read and change in the field. It’s built from stainless steel like the rest of Beretta’s factory choke line, so it holds up to repeated use. Whether you’re rotating chokes between stations at the clays course or dialing in a pattern for the field, this tube swaps in without any gunsmithing.

Key Specifications

• The gauge is 12 Gauge, so it only fits 12-gauge Beretta shotguns built around the OptimaChoke HP choke interface.
• The constriction is Improved Cylinder, which opens the pattern for closer targets like upland birds flushing at short range.
• It uses the Extended profile, protruding about three-quarters of an inch past the muzzle for easy visual ID and hand-changing.
• Body material is Stainless Steel, resisting corrosion through repeated cleaning and wet-weather use.
• The finish is a nickel-alloy coating, adding another layer of protection against pitting and rust.
• It’s marked with a colored alloy identification band so the constriction is identifiable at a glance without pulling it to check stampings.
• It’s compatible with any Beretta 12 Gauge shotgun barrel threaded for the OptimaChoke HP system.
• It’s sold as a single choke tube, so pattern-testing a full set means picking up companion constrictions separately.
