The Beretta A300 Ultima Competition is a 12 Gauge semi-automatic shotgun built around competitive shooting. With a 24" barrel, 7-slot Picatinny rail, M-Lok barrel clamp, extended bolt handle, and optics-ready cut, the spec sheet shows what Beretta was targeting. The black Cerakote finish on a 7075-T6 aluminum receiver keeps it durable without adding weight.

Detailed Features
The 24" barrel is shorter than typical field guns, which helps with handling speed in competition — less muzzle-heavy, quicker to swing. At 7.7 lbs., it's manageable through a full shooting stage. The red fiber optic front bead with adjustable sights gives a clear sight picture across different lighting conditions.
The optics-ready cut accepts RMR-footprint red dots without adapters. The M-Lok barrel clamp and Picatinny rail allow mounting lights, lasers, or other accessories for practical shooting disciplines. The extended bolt handle and release improve manipulation speed with gloves or when running the gun hard.
Two extended chokes — Full and Improved Cylinder — are included. The reversible crossbolt safety accommodates both left- and right-handed shooters.
Usage
This gun fits practical shooting sports — 3-gun, USPSA shotgun, and similar disciplines where capacity, speed, and accessory mounting matter. The 10+1 capacity and fast semi-auto action are well-suited to competition stages. It also works for trap and skeet, though the 24" barrel is shorter than what many clay shooters prefer. Home defense use is viable given the capacity and ergonomics.
