The Beretta Ultraleggero is an over/under 12-gauge shotgun with a 2.5 Grade walnut stock, break-action, and a 28-inch barrel. At 6.61 lbs it's lighter than most O/U guns in this gauge, which is the defining characteristic of the model, the name means "ultra light" in Italian.

Detailed Features 

The OBF-HP choke system controls shot pattern density for different target sizes and distances. Bead sights are standard for an O/U at this price point, simple and effective for moving targets. The 28-inch barrels give good swing-through for upland birds and sporting clays. 3-inch chamber handles standard and magnum loads. 
 
The walnut is 2.5 Grade, not exhibition wood, but well-figured and properly fitted. The lighter build does mean slightly more felt recoil compared to a heavier gun in the same gauge, so load selection matters more here than with a 7.5-lb gun.

Most discussion around the Ultraleggero focuses on two things: the walnut finish and the weight. Owners who carry a shotgun all day hunting upland birds consistently appreciate the 6.61-lb build; it reduces fatigue on long flushes. The craftsmanship and stock fit get positive remarks, and the action cycles smoothly according to most reports.

Price is the main sticking point, the Ultraleggero is positioned in a higher market segment, and buyers debate whether the weight savings justify the premium over heavier Beretta O/U models. Recoil comes up occasionally; at 6.61 lbs with 3-inch loads, it's perceptibly more than a heavier gun. Most owners consider the trade-off worth it for field carry, while others prefer a heavier gun if they're primarily shooting clays from a stationary position.
