The Ultraleggero writes a new chapter in the history of light shotguns, making possible what had never been achieved until now: offering all the solidity and reliability of the steel scale with a very reduced weight, which until yesterday was only achieved in shotguns. of aluminum.
The classic Beretta overlay scale is universally known for its slender and elegant silhouette: it is characterized by the proven closure system with the iconic trapezoidal shoulders and the double tapered pin; The sides and bottom of the scale have been hollowed out, leaving only the amount of metal really necessary to guarantee the reliability and resistance of Beretta. Special technopolymer inserts have been made for the hollowed-out areas of the scale, obtained thanks to ultra-modern technology, which creates special angles on the surface capable of simulating the visual effect of light reflectance typical of engravings on steel.
The insertion of aluminum components, among which the trigger guard and the release lever system, emphasizes the "light weight" of the shotgun thanks to a total weight saving of about 404 grams compared to the classic 690 series.
The stock and forend are made with selected class 2.5 walnut woods; The oil finish allows scratches or damage to be easily repaired in case of particularly extreme use.
The Extralight® recoil pad, 30 percent lighter and more abrasion resistant, allows for greater weight reduction while providing comfort and facing stability, with excellent recoil absorption.
Ultraleggero uses triple-alloy steel Steelium® Optima Bore® HP barrels, characterized by deep boring, cold hammering and vacuum distension; The special geometry, with a double 80 mm union cone, is designed to offer excellent performance and always perfect and uniform plumbing, while reducing recoil and muzzle rise.
