The Beavertail stock is a neat ideal. I have a 1897 Winchester with the same configuration.🇺🇸🐻

I don't see why it should be painful recoil wise? I shoot a 6 LB 20 bore 695 Beretta with 30 gms all day. Sometimes 32 gms. Never had a problem. In fact, I Fired over 300 cartridges in a couple of hours yesterday. I don't have a recoil pad either. Gun fit determines recoil pain or the lack of it.

Like many others I wanted to hate the glock but it's record speaks for itself ( I'm a 1911 man truth be told) that said you can't argue with plastic as a tough material if it works it works thanks for another fine review

Corker Lloyd. Good to see you back!!!!

Walking gun boxing day so took the light weight 20b non ejector didnt want to be dropping carts as I walk , 4-6 shots a drive normally well last drive was a red letter day 31 shots the beaters laughing at me, dog bring birds back left right centre ,started to wish I had brought the heavy 12b with ejectors.

I was talking to a RFD when these came out and he recons they will be a very good gun for those wanting a cross over from a side by side personally I don’t like the gun but can admire it I like the plastic engraved plates and the way the action is blacked it’s a very nice styling beretta have come out with it would worry me using bigger cartridges through such a light gun though

Lloyd que belleza de escopeta, me encantan las berettas y gracias por difundir estos videos

B525 hunter light or beretra ultraleggero?

Love my Feather 725 12 gauge with 26 inch barrels at 6 pounds and 7 ounces.

I hope there is a 20 bore version on the horizon. I don’t care how much plastic is used on it, the lighter the better as far as I’m concerned.

What's the upside to this gun vs a traditional 686/687 Beretta ultralight on the used market? The original Beretta Ultralight had a mid-rib and no plastic. The only difference I can see is the older guns only had a 2.75" chamber, but who wants to shoot 3" shells out of a 6lb 12? Other than the ability to get the gun in 30" barrels I can't see the upside, unless someone was set on owning a new gun.

Thanks for the video! I'm an armorer for my dept and armor on the order of 140 Glock 22,23, and 27 handguns 2 times a year. They aren't pretty, nor are they 1911. What they are is hell for strong and reliable. I have had to send 4 old gen 3 model 22's back to Glock for replacement due to failures that made replacement necessary. The thing is that the pieces that failed were the metal bits on firearms that had digested 120-150k through each firearm. 1 was a slide that broke in a high wear area, 1 was a rear metal tab on the frame where the slide rides, 2 were sheared locking lugs on barrels. The plastic frame on these particular firearms aren't what failed. The plastic on the frame of the Beretta makes a lot of sense for what they want to do with it. I have both steel and one alloy frame Ithaca model 37s. The steel guns are in the mid/high 6lb range 16 gauge. The alloy frame gun is well under 6lbs and a 20 gauge. The 20 gauge gun is GREAT to carry but is less than fun to shoot due to handling and especially recoil. It's not fun with 3/4 ounce reloads and is a nasty thing with 7/8 ounce loads up to punishing with anything heavier. The 16s have the same fit and due to the heavier weight are just better for most field situations. Thanks again for showing us a new shotgun and bringing out the good, bad, and ugly.

For it being a so called Ultraleggero they should have used a aluminum or titanium alloy for the plastic substitution insets. Yes, plastic is used in other firearms but they are often bottom of the market inexpensive firearms. A Glock 17, for example, is a utilitarian pistol. When compared to say a high end Atlas 2011 there is an expectation of higher materials. If Beretta is positioning this product as a high end field model they should have known well that the market they are selling to would be very resistant to the idea of adding any form of plastic to an expensive or even mid-grade over and under.

Just a shoutout to Lloyd, hope all is well, and you and family are doing great, just not seen a post on here for a shot time, so just a thought from a fan of the channel 👍

Nice one Lloyd very informative as usual

Hi lloyd a most imformative reveiw obviously too light for claying. Just a quick one tried a 725 and on mounting it was cockling to the right any idea please

Good clear review of an interesting gun if field guns are your thing

Walk up is what 90% of us do in the states and the Ultraleggero isn.t even available here. I think Beretta should chamber it in 20 gauge as well.

For target shooting just get a mercury barrel weight.

20 bore version please

It's a good idea for a field gun in the modern world... but 2200£ is steep imo for basically just a cut down 690, but thats beretta and other high end guns

I've no problems with plastic, would you say it would make an alternate for the alloy action 12 gauge KOFs. I use a 30" KOFs in the field, light and fast. Just wondering your thoughts. Happy New Year mucker.

@Lloyd, thanks for the review. I still have mixed feelings about this gun but again I haven’t handled it. I’m a big beretta fan though and my gun safe can attest to this 😂 I have a question for you please: you mentioned here that the lack of mid-rib was to keep the weight down. If I remember well, in your K-80 review, you mentioned that the lack of mid-rib meant using heavier barrels and increased overall K-80 weight to nearly 9 lb (it might be someone else’s review and I’m mixed up). Can you please clarify whether the mid-rib attributes to heavier or lighter gun? I understand if everything is the same and you remove a chunk of metal you reduce weight; but can you? Or do you need heavier sturdier barrels?

Nice field gun for hunting .

What about 20 Gauge and price?? I have a Beretta Silver Snipe 20 gauge 26 barrels from 1962. It is a GREAT shotgun!!

Hi Lloyd What type of shooting glasses you got in this video Thanks

Would it be suitable for ISSF skeet? With the 24 gram loads? Or so lightweight that the shoulder will get sore?

Perché quando presentano un fucile Beretta parlano sempre in lingua straniera?Piacerebbe anche a sentire i commenti

Interesting

When will you get to review the sl3 that has just come out?

Hi Lloyd. You Ok mate? Not seen anything for a while mate...

Another great video.. when we having a shoot Lloyd?

Can you review the new Zoli one !

So, you left it in then Lloyd!

I can't stand the looks of an over/under with a gap between the barrels. It's like they didn't finish it.

Looks like a proper hunting gun. Its too bad about the ole walked day footage was a no goer. It's not easy filming self hunts every week. Takes real skill.

Lots of moaning, it's plastic in non pressure bearing areas, it's not a high cartridge volume gun, nice to see a favourable Beretta review for a change rather than Browning Browning Browning

price?

I’m sure this gun has a place. Just not in my safe.

6 ship fast

The field design almost makes more sense if it was only offered in 20 and 28 gauge as a special edition for upland hunting. As it sits the Beretta 686 Pigeon 1 seems like a far better deal. Hell Benelli's 828u 20 Gauge is as light.

I've taken one of the guns out and I largely agree. The gun is good on a slow walk up day or in a tight wood. But the recoil is awful and I would not recommend the gun for women at all. The only way I could feel reasonably comfortable with the gun was to use my Hull 28g Imperial game cartridges as they are a fantastic cartridge with very little recoil. Every other cartridge I tried apart from the Hull Comp X 21g caused way too much recoil. The gun looks great but oh that recoil. 👎☹
