My son just got an A300 Ultima for bird hunting. He is a clay target shooter and has tried it out for skeet and trap doubles and it did pretty well. I shot a round of trap with it and shot well. I don't think this is a clays gun for anyone that is serious but for someone that wants to hunt and also break some rock for fun it does a great job.
Awesome. You are right, most people that get real serious about shooting trap, skeet or sporting clays, usually shoot a break action gun. That said, there are a lot of hunters that use their guns to shoot clays here and there and there are also a lot of youth shooters that shoot whatever they have available.
@@TargetFocusedLife yep, you kinda wrote exactly why I bought mine, can use it for several purposes without breaking the bank and a good for me to at least gain some experience with skeet and trap shooting since this is my first shotgun
front of the trigger guard is the best location for the safety. mount shotgun, trigger finger straight outside the trigger guard, and the safety is right there. no reposition of hold needed. no extra movement. in the rear, you have to reposition your hand and locate the button.
when i'm holding the shotgun, my right thumb naturally hits the safety as i'm raising the gun to shoulder it. Then when I remove the gun from my shoulder my middle finger naturally flips off the safety. I can not get used to a safety that is in front of the trigger. I've had a bunch but having the safety behind the trigger is way easier for me
Just spent about an hour trying to re-assemble my A300, thank you for the video, I reassembled mine like you did. I couldn’t figure it out, so frustrating.
Just picked one up for getting into trap/skeet shooting. Loved my Beretta pistols I use in IDPA and Beretta has been building guns for 500 years. I absolutely love it. Even for a rookie shotgunner, it will make you look good and shoot good... So long as you get some professional instruction of course. Review is absolutely spot on too.
I'm just getting back into shooting shotguns for the first time in years and I cannot fathom how he's able to shoot that fast and stay on target. Nicely done!
@@mattbrandenberg1061 have you've own a gas operated shotgun? Hopefully you have and can let me know how the Franchi holds up to light target loads. I'm in between the A300 and Affinity 3. It's going to be 80% Sporting Clays and 20% Hog/Deer Gun with Slugs.
@@johnlicon2472 I have the franchi affinity 3.5, and I’ve put at least 1000 rounds threw it and never had a light load issue. Now duck season I’ve had issues from time to time bc I’m hard on my gun and don’t clean it as much as I should.
Picked up this gun yesterday for Christmas, and I went out skeet shooting today and the A300 Ultima is a solid semi-automatic shotgun. The first 25-50 rounds were not ejecting properly but after this initial "break in period" , the gun worked flawlessly. The A300 has a solid trigger, smooth action, nice fiber optic front bead and is over all quite solid. Cleaning was easy, and it took me around 35 minutes to clean and oil the gun (I'm quite slow btw). While the gun is very good, I sometimes pinched my finger between the loading gate and loading port, which was a little annoying. The crossbolt safety (for me) is in a bad spot and I found myself missing clays because I accidentally put the gun on safe. After putting around 150 rounds through the gun, I can say that the A300 is a very good autoloading shotgun for busting clays.
Hey! Good choice friend I enjoy it too. I have had some issues with the trigger/safety locking up. Sounds like yours is working great though. If you ever run into the issues I had, I'm releasing a video about it today actually!
@10:50 in slo-mo I believe you can see the first shell hit Steve's hat and bounce back into the shell coming out of the gun. I think that possibly caused the malfunction.
I bought this gun today to replace my 48 year old Ted Williams 12 gauge that I bought at Sears when I was 10 years old. Well, I still have the Ted Williams , but she is being stored away. I love my Ted, but it does not have an adjustable choke and my Buck shot patterns were starting to get away from me. Thank you for the review!

@@TargetFocusedLife well, I do like the gun but, it’s not ejecting shells properly. I ran about 25 rounds through it when I got it. The first two did not eject and then no issues. I just shot at a deer with it tonight and it fired once but same as before a new round did not cycle in and I had to rack it to eject the spent buckshot roundI guess I need to shoot more rounds through it to break it in? I never had one failed ejection on my old Ted Williams , ever!
Got one. I like it. Fast. I bought it as a general purpose gun. Nothing primary. I don't like the issue with not being able to get a tube extension for it. Loads kinda funky.
Thank you for your reviews. As a result of your comments, just this month (Feb 2023) I got a Beretta A300 Ultima in 12ga (I'm sure by now they fixed the trigger reset issue that you mentioned in another review). Very pleased with how it fits me, the fact that it is a Beretta, and Made In USA. Haven't shot it yet, but like the balance and feel. For the price, I could buy two new A300 Ultimas for the price of one new A400 Xtreme Plus. Is the A400 worth twice the A300? I'll take the A300, I'm a casual hunter and shooter, I think it's an excellent value. I can easily afford the A400, BTW. Also, I could buy two Turkish semi-autos for one A300 Ultima, but I'll take the Beretta A300 any day over those. The real cost of a gun is feeding it, anyway. I greatly appreciate all your reviews, very informative.
I bought this shotgun strictly for dove hunting. I must say, it is a bird killing machine. I have always faced the issue of being left handed, but the cross bolt safety can be reversed. As I have aged, I am now right eyes dominant and the mid bead has corrected my shot. Being in South Carolina and dove season opening in sweltering heat, I have not had an issue with my hands slipping from sweat. I’m in love with this gun.
Video suggestion: Berretta A300 Ultima vs A400. Is it worth the upgrade and if so, for who. I believe you have both in your collection. Have a great day.
Winchester SX4. I’m actually trying to decide between these two shotguns. I prefer how the SX4 shoulders, at least in the gun store. But it is hard to dismiss the Ultima based on it being a Beretta lol.
@@joeschnapps1712 I’ve seen several berettas fail due to the whole action slide breaking and I’ve even seen a few with the gas ports not drilled out properly from the factory making them a single shot and had to be sent back. I have yet to see any issue with the sx4 other than the bolt handle flying out randomly but that can be fixed in about 5 mins with a dremel. Decision is clearly up to you but I know what I would pick.
imo I had a Remington V3 and sold it week ago and bought the Beretta Ultima I think the Beretta is lot build better gun and feels a lot better to me my Remington V3 had a ruff finish also it was the wood version
Battle of the budget waterfowl shotguns please? Stoeger m3500 waterfowl edition 12ga, Beretta a300 ultima 12ga, Retay gordion 12ga. These guns are in-between the $750-$900 dollar range
Never personally held one but check out impala plus shotguns, if you don't have to have a 3.5 chamber. They are $450-700 so pretty affordable. but everyone I've heard of that has one loves them. Just something to check out maybe. I believe it's an inertia gun. Depending if that matters to you.
Just got this gun when I install the bottom stock after the barrel with action opened the action binds but if I release the action and run it on the arm it seems ok but it doesn’t seem normal and I saw a few forms on people having to sand the grove on the wood ones but I have senthetic have you heard of this hope I didn’t get the wrong brand.
How’s it holding up I’m debating between one of these and an sx4 to do trap and sporting clays with. Which one would you use I know u do a lot of shooting

Purchased this gun a week ago. Finally got to shoot it today. After two rounds, the trigger stayed locked after a shot. Seemed the safety was locked as well. Now it seems that if I apply pressure on the trigger it “clicks” back into place. It’s more of a single shot for now. 🤦🏼♂️ Hoping I can get this resolved quickly. I’ve seen a few comments out there of others with the same issue. Not what I was hoping for this morning.
How do you like the factory Beretta Mobil choke tubes it comes with? Do you think they're fine with clay target shooting compared to extended chokes? I want to get a skeet and light modified choke. Thoughts?
Does this have the same bolt style bolt handle as the outlander( other that being oversized) I have an ultima and I somehow managed to lose my bolt handle and I was trying to find a replacement but I was unable to find one. I found ones for the outlander and some other guns and I’m wondering if it would fit my ultima.
Would you say the mount/hold/feel is similar to the A400? Oddly enough I can only find the A400 locally to get a feel, but it's out of my price range. Just wondering if the A300 Ultima is close enough for the price difference?
Hi Steve, I just got my ultima and use the full choke that comes with it. What choke do you recommend, as I am looking for a tighter choke for dove hunts
I have a question. Just bought this gun and shot it today. Loaded 1 in the chamber, 2 in the tube and unless I pressed the little silver button where you load the shells it would not cycle another round into the chamber when firing. Is this common? Is this normal?
Do one one the 870 vs Browning bps Ithaca pumps and benelli nova. I would also like to see a review on a weatherby i18, and maybe one on youth shotguns!!!!that i18 would be great!!!
Thanks for watching. We will not be at the NRAAM. We have a show over those dates and then we are heading elk hunting! 👊 Stay Target 🎯Focused (Hebrews 12:1-3)
Both are really nice shotguns for the price. The Ultima has had some trigger issues as I have pointed out in some of my other videos since this review, but if they have that fixed I would go for it. If you get the Ultima and do end up with trigger issues you can contact Beretta and they should send you a replacement trigger group...easy fix. I like the lighter recoil of the Ultima but I would be happy to shoot either gun. Hope this helps. 👊 Stay Target 🎯Focused (Hebrews 12:1-3)
Hi. I’ve been watching your shotgun videos. I’m in market to get a shotgun for hunting. What would you recommend as best hunting shotgun. Unfortunately there is no range nearby to go try them. Please advise. Great videos. Thx
Check out the reviews, get a feel for some of the different models. Then narrow it down to a few you think you may like. Then come up with some specifics about what you are looking for and how you will use it and then I can try to give you a little guidance.
Can you use a a300 outlander barrel on this model i was thinking of grabbing a outlander barrel off the website and making it 18.5 so this can do double duty
Living Target Focused in the field and in life, gotta know that where our focus goes our energy flows. My aim is to put Christ at the center 👊 Stay Target 🎯Focused (Hebrews 12:1-3)
Just sent in my Ultima today for so many issues. Right out of the box the gas tube was discolored and not fully treated, and gave me two IC chokes instead of a Mod so I couldn’t event hunt waterfowl or late season pheasant. The chokes wouldn’t align properly with the threads in the barrel and after 50 shots, the trigger mechanism broke. Their customer service is also crap, as I had to go to my local cabelas to send it in because I could never get ahold of Beretta despite waiting on the phone for hours. It’ll take 2 months if I’m lucky so there goes the rest of shotgun season for me...
Man, that stinks. I have since submitted a claim with Beretta for trigger issues. The hammer seems to be out of speck and the trigger doesn't always reset. This gun had so much promise, but it seems like this may have been rushed out and quality control is lacking. I am getting many comments about folks with issues. On the flip side, I am also getting comments from folks that have seen no issues. Either way, very frustrating to have issues...even more frustrating to experience poor customer service. I'll see how it goes for me...I haven't gotten a reply yet.
For waterfowl? Do you need 3.5"? The a400 is a great shotgun but bank for the buck, the Ultima is hard to beat. 👊 Stay Target 🎯Focused (Hebrews 12:1-3)
@@TargetFocusedLife thanks so much! I don’t need 3.5 or use for waterfowl. Just pheasant hunting with my GSP. Sounds like the ultima is the way to go for my use. Romans 5:1-2.
Just got mine a week ago but I did something wrong and the bolt and barrel got stuck. Not a single shot fired and the gun is going to Beretta . Likely my mistake but I have never had anything like that happened with other semi autos I owned.
There is a shim between the stock and reciever and inside the stock there is a steel plate that you can adjust for drop and cast but to what extent, I am not sure. Something I should play with. 👊 Stay Target 🎯Focused (Hebrews 12:1-3)
I would prefer the Ultima over the Outlander hands down but many but a bunch of folks are having some issues with the Ultima. Check out my recent video th-cam.com/video/QYzGEsWVeiw/w-d-xo.html&lc=UgziqWLj2HG54x7R5tB4AaABAg
Can that gun accept a magazine extension? I noticed it had a new end cap which appears the same as an a400. the A300 outlander cannot accept a mag extension so I am curious if this new Ultima can.
What’s the goal? Tactical one for home defense, skeet shooting, messing around at the range with the boys? You can easily get away with a stoeger m3000. It’s the cheapest semi auto shotgun I would consider buying
Great review...actually the first shotgun review I’ve watched (with the exception of the IWI TS12, but different beast!)...and obviously came to the right place. Looking to buy my first shotgun...mostly for clays and possibly a little hunting. Would be interested, like a couple others, in seeing a comparison with the Franchi affinity 3.

Hi. Can you make the video to clean and lube for Beretta A300 Ultima, 28 inch, 12 gauge Thanks
What is the magzine capacity of ultima?
Which one does everyone prefer for an overall 12 ga….. the A300 vs the Mossberg 940 pro? Looking to purchase asap
Would you say the mount/hold/feel is similar to the A400? Oddly enough I can only find the A400 locally to get a feel, but it's out of my price range. Just wondering if the A300 Ultima is close enough for the price difference?
I wonder what is the difference between this and the A400 Xtreme Plus... I mean, I can't see the difference.... :( help????
Great video! Great Channel!!
@ target focused Please do a shotgun showdown on in the a300 altima and the Winchester sx4

Hi Steve, I just got my ultima and use the full choke that comes with it. What choke do you recommend, as I am looking for a tighter choke for dove hunts
I have a question.
Just bought this gun and shot it today.
Loaded 1 in the chamber, 2 in the tube and unless I pressed the little silver button where you load the shells it would not cycle another round into the chamber when firing.
Is this common? Is this normal?
Can you shorten the length of pull? You said you can add spacers, but… can you remove them?
Good Morning!!! Could you tell me how many ammo the Beretta A300 Ultima takes?
My a300 ultima is 100% locked down and I don’t know what to do with it. Any suggestions? Thanks and love your videos!
Good vid. The website says the weight of the gun is 6.7 lbs, you say 7.10 lbs, who’s right? Also reviews are bad for its dependability, true or false?
Do one one the 870 vs Browning bps Ithaca pumps and benelli nova. I would also like to see a review on a weatherby i18, and maybe one on youth shotguns!!!!that i18 would be great!!!
So..how does this compare to the A400 Xtreme Plus?? Man. Too many options.
Great review!
Glad you enjoyed it 👊 Stay Target 🎯Focused (Hebrews 12:1-3)

@@TargetFocusedLife Good luck and God Bless!
I would like to see a bettera 303 calibre 12 gauge semi auto
Ive got a 303 outstanding gun...
With the Beretta A300 outlander dropping in price would it be a good gun for the price now?
Still waiting for comparisons. JM940 Pro or Benelli ??
What choke size do you use mostly for clays ?
What do you favored like? Semi Automatic shotgun
Id like to see you review the Weatherby 18i
I would love to see a review on the CZ 1012 👍
Noted!
I second that
Looking at getting this one or the franchi affinity which one should I get?
Both are really nice shotguns for the price. The Ultima has had some trigger issues as I have pointed out in some of my other videos since this review, but if they have that fixed I would go for it. If you get the Ultima and do end up with trigger issues you can contact Beretta and they should send you a replacement trigger group...easy fix. I like the lighter recoil of the Ultima but I would be happy to shoot either gun. Hope this helps. 👊 Stay Target 🎯Focused (Hebrews 12:1-3)
Which Carlson choke are you using?
Hi. I’ve been watching your shotgun videos. I’m in market to get a shotgun for hunting. What would you recommend as best hunting shotgun. Unfortunately there is no range nearby to go try them. Please advise. Great videos. Thx
Check out the reviews, get a feel for some of the different models. Then narrow it down to a few you think you may like. Then come up with some specifics about what you are looking for and how you will use it and then I can try to give you a little guidance.

Thank you for your time and the reply
Can you use a a300 outlander barrel on this model i was thinking of grabbing a outlander barrel off the website and making it 18.5 so this can do double duty
How long did breaking take, what ammo did you use?
I just bought a a300 ultima. I'm having trouble with it cycling. I've tried 3 different types of 12 gauge shot. Any ideas to solve this issue
I like the Bible verses in your replys!

Just sent in my Ultima today for so many issues. Right out of the box the gas tube was discolored and not fully treated, and gave me two IC chokes instead of a Mod so I couldn’t event hunt waterfowl or late season pheasant. The chokes wouldn’t align properly with the threads in the barrel and after 50 shots, the trigger mechanism broke. Their customer service is also crap, as I had to go to my local cabelas to send it in because I could never get ahold of Beretta despite waiting on the phone for hours. It’ll take 2 months if I’m lucky so there goes the rest of shotgun season for me...
Man, that stinks. I have since submitted a claim with Beretta for trigger issues. The hammer seems to be out of speck and the trigger doesn't always reset. This gun had so much promise, but it seems like this may have been rushed out and quality control is lacking. I am getting many comments about folks with issues. On the flip side, I am also getting comments from folks that have seen no issues. Either way, very frustrating to have issues...even more frustrating to experience poor customer service. I'll see how it goes for me...I haven't gotten a reply yet.
Which is the way to go: the a300 ultima or the a400 extreme plus for an extra $1,000?
For waterfowl? Do you need 3.5"? The a400 is a great shotgun but bank for the buck, the Ultima is hard to beat. 👊 Stay Target 🎯Focused (Hebrews 12:1-3)
@@TargetFocusedLife thanks so much! I don’t need 3.5 or use for waterfowl. Just pheasant hunting with my GSP. Sounds like the ultima is the way to go for my use. Romans 5:1-2.
Can you use briley tube extension on this a300 model?
I don't believe you can add a mag tube extension to the Ultima. I am dissapointed in that as well. 👊 Stay Target 🎯Focused (Hebrews 12:1-3)
Any word on a Sporting version of the Ultima?
I am sure they will make one eventually if the gun does well but I have not heard anything about one yet. 👊 Stay Target 🎯Focused (Hebrews 12:1-3)
Just got mine a week ago but I did something wrong and the bolt and barrel got stuck. Not a single shot fired and the gun is going to Beretta . Likely my mistake but I have never had anything like that happened with other semi autos I owned.
Would love to see review off new a300 ultima sporting
Is a shim kit included with this shotgun?
There is a shim between the stock and reciever and inside the stock there is a steel plate that you can adjust for drop and cast but to what extent, I am not sure. Something I should play with. 👊 Stay Target 🎯Focused (Hebrews 12:1-3)
Would you prefer this or the outlander?
I would prefer the Ultima over the Outlander hands down but many but a bunch of folks are having some issues with the Ultima. Check out my recent video th-cam.com/video/QYzGEsWVeiw/w-d-xo.html&lc=UgziqWLj2HG54x7R5tB4AaABAg
Did it come with shims, or just length of pull adjustments?
Can that gun accept a magazine extension? I noticed it had a new end cap which appears the same as an a400. the A300 outlander cannot accept a mag extension so I am curious if this new Ultima can.
Unfortunately, the Ultima does not allow for a magazine extension. I was kinda bummed by that too 👊 Stay Target 🎯Focused (Hebrews 12:1-3)
WHAT'S IS YOUR OPINION OF THE KICKOFF RECOIL PAD???
Franchi Affinity 3 vs Beretta a300 ultima ??
What is the semi auto shotgun on a budget I’m 15 trying to save up
What’s the goal? Tactical one for home defense, skeet shooting, messing around at the range with the boys? You can easily get away with a stoeger m3000. It’s the cheapest semi auto shotgun I would consider buying
For some reason Reed's only has these in 20 gauge on their website.
Give them a call. They often have more than what is just on their website. 👊 Stay Target 🎯Focused (Hebrews 12:1-3)

Great review...actually the first shotgun review I’ve watched (with the exception of the IWI TS12, but different beast!)...and obviously came to the right place.
Looking to buy my first shotgun...mostly for clays and possibly a little hunting.
Would be interested, like a couple others, in seeing a comparison with the Franchi affinity 3.
I have a Franchi Affinity 3 in 20 Gauge and it's amazing
