The Beretta A300 Ultima Competition in Red Lava Cerakote is a 12 Gauge semi-automatic shotgun with the same competition-focused spec sheet as the standard black version, distinguished by the Red Lava Cerakote synthetic stock against the black Cerakote receiver. The 7075-T6 aluminum receiver keeps weight down while the Cerakote finish resists wear on both components.

Detailed Features
The 24" barrel gives this gun quick handling characteristics, shorter than most field guns, which translates to a faster swing in competition. At 7.7 lbs., it sits in a reasonable weight range for extended shooting sessions without being difficult to control.
The red fiber optic front bead with adjustable sights works across varied lighting. The optics-ready cut accepts RMR-footprint red dots without adapters. M-Lok barrel clamp and Picatinny rail allow lights, lasers, and other accessories. The reversible crossbolt safety works for left- and right-handed shooters. Extended chokes, Full and Improved Cylinder, are included.
10+1 capacity reduces the frequency of reloads during competition stages, and the semi-auto action keeps follow-up shots fast.
Usage
This is the same gun as the standard Competition model with a different stock color. The Red Lava finish makes it visually distinctive on the range. It suits practical shooting sports and 3-gun setups where the accessory rail and optics cut are relevant. Also workable for trap and skeet, though the 24" barrel is on the shorter side for pure clay shooting. Home defense is a reasonable secondary role given the capacity and semi-auto action.
