You first need to figure out what choke tubes you gun takes, Mobil chokes or optima chokes are the choices. Then decide what kind of tubes you want, factory or one of the many made by aftermarket manufacturers, at that point you will know better where to look.
Teague tubes are very good, made in the UK but ship to Canada, Briley are a very good USA made brand, not sure if they're still shipping here or not. Muller is another good USA brand that can often be found locally. Factory tubes and others such as Carlsons can often be found at retailers such as Cabelas.

I should have mentioned that your gun might take optima hp tubes too if it’s a target model 686, it’s important to know there is a difference from optima tubes.
My older 686 takes “optima”

There was a time when all berettas were Mobil chokes then the target guns got optima bores with optima hp extended choke tubes….but not all, some target models still advertise having Mobil chokes. Of course some hunting guns have optima hp flush tubes while others have optima hp steelium tubes…… and of course some have mobile chokes. I may have missed some other type of choke but the point is that with most things Beretta you can’t really bank on anything.
The choke type will be marked on your choke tubes, or at least my Optima chokes are. Quick way to check is the older Mobil chokes are threaded right to the end or the choke, Optima choke threads stop about 1/4" from the end.
Carslon's chokes are reasonably priced and good quality - order those from Al's Corner Store. Could also buy Beretta chokes directly from stoegercanada.ca, or check local shops. What you're looking for shouldn't be too hard to find.
