Carlson's Cremator 12 Gauge Long Range Choke Tube for Browning Invector-Plus: Unleash Superior Shotgun Performance

Are you a dedicated waterfowl hunter constantly seeking to improve your long-range patterns? Or perhaps a competitive shooter looking for that definitive edge in accuracy and consistency at extended distances? The quest for optimal shotgun performance often leads to the critical component that dictates pellet patterns: the choke tube. For those who demand superior ballistic performance and reliability, especially when employing modern steel shot loads, the Carlson's Cremator 12 Gauge Long Range Choke Tube for Browning Invector-Plus shotguns (SKU: 11627) stands out as an exceptional choice. This non-ported, 17-4 Stainless Steel marvel is engineered to deliver incredibly dense, uniform patterns, helping you make those challenging shots with greater confidence and ethical precision.

What makes a choke tube truly effective for demanding applications like waterfowl hunting? It boils down to advanced design, durable materials, and thoughtful engineering that minimizes pellet deformation while maximizing pattern efficiency. The Carlson's Cremator series embodies these principles, offering a technological leap forward for serious shotgun enthusiasts.

Unleashing Superior Patterns with Triple Shot Technology (TST)

At the heart of the Carlson's Cremator choke tubes lies its groundbreaking Triple Shot Technology (TST). This innovative design feature is a game-changer for anyone looking to achieve tighter, more consistent patterns. TST isn't just a marketing term; it's a meticulously engineered series of three graduated rings strategically placed within the choke tube's taper section.

Imagine a smoother, more controlled journey for your shot column as it travels from the shotgun bore into the choke's constriction. That's precisely what TST facilitates. Unlike conventional choke designs that might force an abrupt transition, TST allows for a more gradual, progressive compression of the shot charge. This gradual transition is paramount because it significantly reduces pellet deformation. When pellets deform, they lose their aerodynamic shape, leading to erratic flight paths, "flyers," and ultimately, less dense, more open patterns downrange. By minimizing this deformation, TST ensures that more pellets maintain their spherical integrity, contributing to a tighter, more lethal pattern at your intended target.

For hunters, this translates directly into a higher probability of clean, ethical kills, especially on fast-moving waterfowl. For target shooters, it means more breaks and consistent scores. The benefits are clear: reduced flyers, less pellet deformation, and ultimately, consistently denser patterns that enhance your effective range and overall shooting performance.

Engineered for the Toughest Loads: Unrestricted Steel Shot Performance

One of the most critical considerations for modern shotgunners, particularly waterfowl hunters, is the ability to use steel shot. Traditional lead shot is often restricted or banned in many hunting areas due to environmental concerns. However, steel shot presents unique challenges for choke tubes due to its hardness. Many older or less robust choke tubes can be damaged by steel shot, or they may impose severe restrictions on shot size and velocity.

The Carlson's Cremator series, including this 12 Gauge Long Range model, is specifically engineered to overcome these challenges. A defining feature of the Cremator line is its no size or speed restrictions with steel shot across all three constrictions (Close, Mid, and Long Range). This means you can confidently use a wide array of steel shot loads, from fast-flying smaller shot to heavier, larger pellets, without fear of damaging your choke tube or compromising its performance. This freedom from restrictions is a significant advantage, allowing hunters to optimize their ammunition choice for specific hunting scenarios, whether it's decoying ducks at close range or reaching out to geese at the limits of your shotgun's capabilities.

Important Note for Specific Shotgun Models: While the Cremator series generally offers unrestricted steel shot use, it's crucial to acknowledge Carlson's specific advisory: Optima HP and Remington Pro Bore Long Range choke tubes cannot be used with any steel shot larger than #2. This particular model, the Carlson's Cremator 11627, is designed for Browning Invector-Plus systems and does not fall under those specific restrictions for steel shot larger than #2. Users should always confirm compatibility with their specific shotgun model.

The Advantages of an Extended Choke Tube Design

Beyond its innovative TST, the Carlson's Cremator 11627 also capitalizes on the inherent benefits of an extended choke tube design. An extended choke tube protrudes from the muzzle of the shotgun, offering several practical advantages that enhance both performance and user convenience:

• 25% Longer Parallel Section: This is a key performance advantage. The parallel section of a choke tube is where the shot column stabilizes after passing through the constriction. A longer parallel section, like the 25% increase found in the Cremator, allows the shot charge more time to settle into its optimal configuration before exiting the muzzle. This results in even tighter, more consistently dense patterns, pushing the effective range of your shotgun further while maintaining excellent pattern uniformity.
• Wrench-less Installation and Quick Removal: Extended chokes feature a knurled or textured surface that allows for easy, hand-tightened installation and removal. No special choke wrench is needed, making field adjustments or cleaning quick and hassle-free. This convenience is invaluable when you need to change constrictions quickly during a hunt or on the shooting range.
• Muzzle Protection: By extending beyond the muzzle, the choke tube acts as a sacrificial barrier, protecting the valuable and vulnerable muzzle of your shotgun barrel from dings, dents, and scratches. This helps preserve the aesthetic and functional integrity of your firearm, extending its lifespan and resale value.

Built to Last: The Strength of 17-4 Stainless Steel

Durability and resistance to harsh environmental conditions are non-negotiable for hunting and shooting accessories. The Carlson's Cremator 11627 is proudly constructed from premium 17-4 Stainless Steel. This specific grade of stainless steel is renowned for its exceptional strength, hardness, and corrosion resistance.

Why is 17-4 Stainless Steel the material of choice?

• Superior Strength: It can withstand the immense pressures and forces generated by modern shotgun loads, ensuring the choke tube maintains its precise dimensions and integrity over countless shots.
• Corrosion Resistance: Hunting environments can be brutal, exposing gear to moisture, mud, and chemicals. 17-4 Stainless Steel provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, ensuring your choke tube remains functional and pristine even after exposure to the elements.
• Longevity: The inherent durability of this material means your Carlson's Cremator choke tube is built to provide years of reliable service, making it a sound investment for any serious shooter.

Furthermore, the "Blued" finish indicated in the product specifications adds an extra layer of protection and provides a sleek, classic appearance that complements most firearms.

Tailored for Browning: The Invector-Plus Configuration

Compatibility is key when selecting a choke tube. The Carlson's Cremator 11627 is designed specifically for Browning shotguns utilizing the Invector-Plus system. This ensures a perfect fit, optimal alignment, and consistent performance with your Browning firearm. Hunters and shooters who own Browning shotguns equipped with the Invector-Plus system can confidently choose this choke tube, knowing it will seamlessly integrate with their existing setup.
