Beretta Ultraleggero Vittoria 12/76 LL 71cm Hunting

STEEL-HARD LIGHTWEIGHT

The lightest over-and-under shotgun in the world with a steel receiver

The BERETTA ULTRALEGGERO writes a new chapter in the history of lightweight over-and-under shotguns and achieves what has never been accomplished before: a steel receiver that combines maximum strength and reliability with an extremely low weight. Thanks to state-of-the-art production and development techniques, BERETTA has managed to reduce a steel receiver to the structural elements necessary for the strength and function of the weapon through skeletonization, significantly reducing the weight (by about 400 grams compared to the Silver Pigeon model). The result is a very maneuverable yet extremely robust shotgun, ideal for hunters who value low weight, fatigue-free handling, and particularly agile aiming characteristics.

STEEL RECEIVER

The Beretta engineers approached the topic of weight reduction with exceptional ingenuity and innovation. After careful development using the latest simulation programs and extensive field tests, the side surfaces and the underside of the receiver were extensively skeletonized without compromising reliability and resilience even under high loads.

TECHNOPOLYMER INSERTS

The lightweight and decorative technopolymer inserts with holographic effect engraving elegantly close the cutouts on the side cheeks and the bottom of the receiver. Using state-of-the-art laser technology, a 3D surface has been created that simulates the visual effect of light reflected from steel engravings when viewed from different angles and under varying lighting conditions.

ALUMINUM TRIGGER PLATE

The trigger plate is made of weight-saving yet highly durable aluminum. The selective single trigger allows for easy and quick switching with a selector lever housed in the safety slider, enabling the selection of either the lower or upper barrel for the first shot depending on the hunting situation and shooting distance.

FOREND CONSTRUCTION

The forend construction is based on the system of the sport model 694, but in the Ultraleggero, it is largely made of weight-saving aluminum. Thanks to the more favorable lever forces and the self-adjusting locking mechanism, a consistently uniform opening resistance of the shotgun is guaranteed over a long period.

STEELIUM OPTIMA BARRELS

The Ultraleggero is equipped with the famous Steelium Optima Bore HP barrels. Beretta forgoes the continuous lateral connection rail. The special barrel geometry with a double transition cone of 80 mm is designed to ensure excellent performance and consistently perfect and uniform shot patterns while simultaneously reducing recoil and muzzle rise. The barrels are available in lengths of 61 cm, 66 cm, 71 cm, and 76 cm and are equipped with a round nickel-silver front bead.

OPTIMACHOKE HP

The OCHP chokes have a length of 70 mm and are perfectly suited for lead and soft steel shot (tightening torque: at least 5 Newton meters). When using soft steel shot over 3.25 mm shot diameter, it is recommended to use only the more open chokes up to and including Modified (1/2) for optimal coverage and to avoid unnecessary strain.

SELECTED WOODS

The pistol grip stock with a drop of 35 mm at the comb and 55 mm at the butt end, along with the forend, is made from selected, high-quality walnut woods of class 2.5. The surface is protected with a weather-resistant and easy-care oil finish, which greatly simplifies professional restoration after scratches or damage during particularly extreme use. The woods are selected not only by class but also by weight and density to achieve perfect balance. The stock and forend are finished with a fine checkering pattern for better grip. Also available with left-handed stock!

XTRA-LIGHT STOCK PAD

The recoil-absorbing 20 mm Xtra-Light stock pad is 30% lighter than standard pads and provides comfort and stability during aiming and shooting.
