Beretta Challenges the World with 3 Categories of Competition Shotguns:
Over-and-Unders Ready for Competition
Durability, dependability and pointability - the most important features you look for in a competition gun - are already built into these over-and unders. The barrel, rib, sights, stock, pad and other features are especially tailored to give you the winning edge. Simple and reliable, these guns feature Beretta's closed low profile receivers to keep the action clean and give you the fast swing and enhanced pointability that have given Beretta an unmatched record at tournaments worldwide.
Semi-automatics - Authentic Competition Shotguns
Beretta semi-automatics maintain the superior design, control, and reliability of the hunting versions, but possess features that make them true competition shotguns. The stocks, fore-ends and buttplates are designed for maximum performance in every shooting discipline. The rounded receiver profile and broad, ventilated rib ensure quick target acquisition. The self-compensating gas system makes it one of the softest shooting autoloaders – right out of the box - reducing felt recoil and improving second shot recovery. Beretta’s adjustable drop and cast system on the competition shotguns ensure a custom fit for every shooter.
Break-open Semi-automatics: tradition and innovation
The Beretta UGB25 Xcel semiautomatic gun features an innovative locking system with break-open barrel that allows operation in complete safety during competitions. The operating principle of the Beretta UGB25 Xcel semiautomatic gun with break-open barrel is based on short recoil, which keeps the internal parts of the gun clean even after prolonged use. The short recoil (and low barrel axis position) almost completely compensates for muzzle jump during firing, with quicker and easier re-alignment of the barrel on the target for the next shot.The low barrel axis position transmits the recoil forces in line with the shooter’s shoulder thus minimizing felt recoil. The perfect adjustment of the rearwards and forwards breech bolt travel allows use of all 12 ga. 2 3/4 ” (70mm) shotshells, from subsonic ones up to 1 1/2 oz (42g) cartridges without any modification.
