The Beretta Ultraleggero (lit. 'Ultra Light') is an over-under shotgun designed by Beretta in 2021. The Ultraleggero was designed as a replacement for the Beretta Ultralight.
Design
[edit]The Ultraleggero was designed in 2021 as a replacement for the discontinued Beretta Ultralight.[1] Unlike the Ultralight, which was made from aluminium, the Ultraleggero is made from pre-hardened steel, which was made lighter by milling the sides and the bottom of the action.[1] The receiver and action are derived from the Beretta 690,[2] while also incorporating aspects of the Beretta 694,[3] but its trigger group is made from aluminium, making it 404 grams lighter.[4]
