GTPSC Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Marc, As you know, Beretta owns Benelli and Benelli used the Beretta Optima design as their first Crio choke. As you noticed, the threads are located at the muzzle end with a long (compared to the Beretta Mobilchoke/Benelli Standard choke) conical section in the barrel. Then, Beretta/Benelli changed their version of the Crio to the Beretta Optima Plus/Benelli Crio with the threads located about 1/2 inch down from the muzzle. If you are looking for chokes, take a look at http://www.blackborechokes.com and you may see something you like. I have not started manufacturing the Optima Plus/later Crio choke just yet.

That said, I buy my extended chokes through Carlson's Chokes and have for years. They work great and are as reasonably priced as anything available. http://www.choketube.com/crio-plus.html If the threads are at the very end of the choke, I would say it is a standard choke, not a Crio, even though it is considered an early crio barrel.

marcbmw Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 @GTPSC thank you very much so there is a difference between the crio chokes the early ones and the crio plus,, @HATTLES i am pretty sure mine are crio chokes because they are much longer than my normal benelli chokes and engraved on them is criochokes so i am sure they are,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
