Beretta launches new Ultraleggero Hunting Shotgun

by Lili Keys

Story from Beretta

Designed specifically to produce the lightest steel receiver shotgun on the market, the Ultraleggero delivers the same strength and balance characteristic of Beretta shotguns with a lighter steel receiver, techno-polymer receiver inserts, Extralight® recoil pad, and Steelium Optima-Bore® HP barrels that ensure superior quality performance and consistent shot patterns.

The result is a lightweight yet sturdy shotgun ideal for Upland hunters looking for a fast-handling gun that swiftly gets onto the game.

“The Beretta Ultraleggero is for those upland bird hunters looking for a light, rugged and innovative over and under shotgun,” Logan Killam, Product Manager – Shotguns, said. “At only 6.4 lbs., the steel-framed Ultraleggero can comfortably be carried and trusted on the longest days in the field thanks to its uniquely designed receiver, barrels, and stock.”

Main Features:

Extralight® Recoil Pad (30 mm)

Increased Stock Cavity to Further Reduce Weight

Selected 2.5 Class Walnut Wood

Aluminum Trigger Guard

Lightweight Steel Receiver

Techno-Polymer Sideplates w/ Floral Motif

New Ergonomic Forend

Optima-Bore® HP Barrels w/ No Side Rib

Optima-Choke® HP Chokes

The Beretta Ultraleggero is the lightest steel shotgun in the field (compared to similar steel receiver shotguns) thanks to its steel receiver with internal relief cuts, Optima-Choke® HP barrels with no side ribs, a stock with an increased cavity, an aluminum forend iron system, and a trigger guard.

The new shotgun is chambered for every cartridge with a 3” chamber, allowing the hunter to shoot magnum cartridges with lead, steel, and steel HP shot loads.

The innovative design of the receiver features techno-polymer inserts with a cutting-edge floral motif and side plates that can be customized and 3D printed with personal designs.

The Extralight® recoil pad is noticeably lighter for excellent recoil absorption, comfort, and stability when shouldered and resistant to abrasion and weather with its closed-cell structure.

The 2.5-grade walnut wood on the stock and forend with an oiled finish ensures an easier restoration of scratches or damage caused by adverse weather conditions.

The Beretta Ultraleggero is now available for purchase at dealer locations across the nation and retails for an MSRP of $2,999.
