Beretta’s New American-Made Turkey Guns -- SHOT Show 2023

I got to handle and shoot the new turkey guns at the Beretta Range Day. They are built right here in the USA, down in Tennessee!

While there were no turkeys at the range for me to shoot, I did shoot a number of clay pigeons they were throwing. The A 300 Ultima handled well, broke the clays with ease, and functioned flawlessly.

Short and handy for dense woods.

These scatter guns are available in two camouflage finishes, Realtree Edge or Mossy Oak DNA. They will no doubt blend into the woods well. The Kick-off recoil system comes standard and made shooting the field loads seem like nothing.

I know a heavy TSS load will pack more punch but with the KO system it should be comfortable to shoot. The grip and forend are well textured providing a solid hold for the hard-hitting loads. The stock is adjustable with shims for drop and cast to get the fit just right.

Drilled and tapped with rail for optics.

The A300 Ultima also comes with oversized controls for easy operation. The bolt handle, bolt release and safety are all right there and large enough to feel through gloves.

I really like seeing these features now being offered on factory shotguns. The 3 Gun competition community has been adding them for years to make operation faster in a game where times are measured to the .01 of a second.

Receiver modifications for easier loading.

The modifications to the loading port also originated from 3 Gun competitors and definitely make loading and unloading of the shotgun easier.
