Beretta Ultraleggero Hunting OHCP

Nomen est omen with the Baretta Ultraleggero – it impresses with its low weight despite its steel receiverThe prerequisite for the production of very light shotguns has previously been the use of aluminum receivers. Beretta has succeeded in significantly reducing the weight of a steel receiver through skeletonization, without sacrificing the stability necessary for the function of the shotgun. The result is the Ultraleggero, a very light yet robust over-and-under shotgun.

Selective single trigger and double trigger
Depending on the hunting situation and shooting distance, the Beretta Ultraleggero allows for the selection of the lower or upper barrel for the first shot via a selective single trigger with the selector lever housed in the safety slider. Additionally, there is a double trigger that allows the shooting sequence of the two barrels to be selected without taking the finger off the trigger. With the front trigger, the shooting sequence is bottom – top when activated twice, and with the rear trigger, it is reversed. This allows you to decide ad hoc depending on the target.

The floral engraving of the receiver
On the receiver cheeks, a surface has been created using laser technology, where the floral motif and the name “Ultraleggero” appear three-dimensionally through a holographic effect at various angles and lighting conditions. This aesthetic detail, combined with the matte black bluing of the receiver and the shiny black hinge pins, defines the noble character of the Ultraleggero.

Skeletonized steel receiver
The receiver is essentially the business card of Beretta over-and-under shotguns. It is equipped with a side lock, trapezoidal shoulders, and a double, self-adjusting locking bolt. With a focus on stability and durability while maximizing weight savings, the side surfaces and the underside of the receiver have been skeletonized without weakening the structure.

The chamber
The Beretta Ultraleggero features a 76 mm / 3“ universal magnum chamber, suitable for all shotgun cartridges with a case length of 65-76 mm and the use of magnum cartridges with lead shot, steel shot, and steel HP shot.

The stock
The forend construction of the Ultraleggero is weight-saving and made of aluminum. The shape of the locking lever allows for comfortable handling and easy disassembly of the firearm. The forend is securely and play-free held by the separately positioned self-adjusting locking system. By increasing the stock cavity, the weight of the stock has been reduced by approximately 130 grams. The pistol grip stock and the forend are made of walnut wood class 2.5. The surface is protected with a weather-resistant and easy-care oil finish. The recoil-absorbing Extralight® stock pad is 30% lighter than a standard stock pad and, thanks to its structure that avoids liquid absorption, is more resistant to abrasion, aging, and weather influences.

The barrels
The Beretta Ultraleggero is equipped with Steelium-Optima-Bore-HP barrels. Made from triple-alloyed chrome-nickel-molybdenum steel, the barrel is produced through an elaborate process (deep drilling, honing, cold forging, and vacuum relaxation annealing) and is combined with the monobloc and the guilloched sight rail into a precisely shooting barrel bundle. The special barrel geometry with a double transition cone of 80 mm ensures perfect shot patterns while simultaneously reducing recoil and muzzle rise. In this version, the barrels equipped with a round nickel-silver bead sight are 66 cm or 71 cm long.
