Great video review. I bought the Ultraleggero last week for clay shooting and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. So lightweight, fast moving and NO PERCEIVED RECOIL (shooting 28g 7.5 Eley Blues). and it looks beautiful.

Plastic ? In a game gun?? Appreciate it's all down to taking weight out and there are advantages to that but I'm too much of a traditionalist so not to my taste. Still, you've shot it and you know way more about these things that I ! :D

Excellent Video! I have owned an Ultraleggero for over two year and It has become my go-to gun!! I have a couple of other really nice Baretta O&U / SxS but every time I go in the gun cabinet, it is the Ultraleggero that ends up being taken out. In my opinion it is a fantastic gun!! I have used it for, Sporting Clay (Just fun not competition), Driven pheasant, Ducks, Pigeon and Walked up rough shooting. At just a little over 6lb it moves around the sky like a magic wand and my shooting has noticeably improved. My shooting friends made fun of me for buying a gun with plastic parts but having seen my success with it have named it "Plastic Fantastic"!! The gun shown in the video, as is the case unfortunately with many Baretta Stocks, represents a very average example. I Didn't buy the first one I saw but looked at many until I found one with nice dark figured wood and plenty of fiddle back. Yes it does have a little bit more recoil than a heavy gun, but with 32g / 34g loads and a shooting jacket, not that much to really be an issue. Yes, if you want nice aesthetics looks and a dedicated clay gun, don't buy this gun! If you want an aggressive looking gun, reliable, multi-purpose, at a reasonable price point and that you don't mind taking out in all types of weather / across all terrain? Then this might well be the gun for you.

The current Ultraleggero features 694 Barrels for the 12 gauge version. Of interest to me is that Beretta has a 20 gauge listed in their catalog. None have been produced at this point but one can hope. As someone who shoots 4 gun skeet I find this very interesting, because the 20 is a fairly popular choice for 12 gauge events for those with tired shoulders and add 28 and 410 tubes to the kit and you have a 4 gun Skeet setup that comes at 8 lbs. even with the tubes installed For those of us with robbing our muscle mass that does matter.

I always love watching videos of guns that I can’t afford. Looks tremendous, but I’ll begrudgingly carry on shooting my Franchi for now

I have the Current Ultra light Gold and I had the first Ultra light gold model also. I love them both and I have shot 100s of wegion teal and snipe with them . I dont know why you keep knocking them , I have not had one issue with them and I use carts heavier than you have used in this video. Now I find 6lb 4ozs a little to heavy in 12 for me , then Im more than twice as old as you are and and about 2/3s of your size so I need light weight gun. A 20g in this at 5lbs 6 , 5lbs 8 would be great. It is a nice gun for sure.

Lol, I just bought my first Miroku. Seems to be getting on well with the Berettas in the safe.

I use my 828u for walked up days and I shoot 34g 4s no issue. Sometimes I even bring out the 50g BBs and its still perfectly fine to shoot.

This is interesting, hopefully in future they will do full side plates, and make blank metal ones available.

What a smooth closing action..... Mine needs the same force needed to hold a door pushed by 20 zombies try to break-in.

I expect to see that style of side plates on many future guns. You can change materials to change the balance and feel of the gun, or just for esthetics.

Removable sideplates, Zoli did that on the EVO model some 4-5 years ago. Difference is they used steel and did it to be able to add weight to the mid section. But for a field model I would prefer balance over a few ounces.

Beautiful. steel but light. For walked upland hunt. I 'll have to check it live

I'm stoked, those barrels look exactly like my $600 Silver Eagle light super barrels👀

Great vid, looks good for what it's intended for. Must admit I was hoping for a 694 black edition release. Here's hoping. 🤞

This seems the right tool for walk hunt !!!

Beretta could add true side plates would be so much nicer not just the half plates but innovative go the full step on every innovation

Just seen a video on FB re the flooding on the Botley road. Hope everything is OK at the shop!

Aluminum side plates of aesthetic nature would add little weight but increase durability over plastic 3-D printed side plates.

It’s a good looking gun. I wonder if the polymer side plates will become a thing on other models soon?

That is sweet. Very nice great watch

Another great vid 💪

Looks so good

What I find most interesting about this shotgun is the removable sideplates. To be honest I find the 690 series just a bit dull looking. Picture a 694 with this system and Beretta selling EELL sideplates on their web site and you now have the ability to dress up the 694. As for the light weight, I just purchased a 687 SP3 combo gun in 410/28 gauge. It weighs in at 6 lbs. 12 ounces, fits me perfectly, and is a real joy to shoot. In 410 it's my new Skeet practice gun. It's cheap to reload, requires a higher level of precision, and the recoil is negligible. BTW, mine is a Joel Etchen Special that features a EELL wood upgrade so it's also very pretty.

A good candidate for an adjustable stock? Add a bit of weight to the back while remaining entirely functional.

For those of us that like nice metal engraved side plates, Beretta should offer them in metal for those that like the look more than the light weight. Copy the 687 EELL plates. Or someone come up with an aftermarket plate. It does not look like it would be too hard to machine a metal plate. Silver/Gold side plate on a black receiver. .

I love my 690 blk for clay, for hunting and dog training, I'm a Franchi SL man ! You should try it in 26 inches ??!??

For some reason all i could think while watching this was how cool it would have been if they made it like a baby bretton

How did the aluminium trigger group look? Was hoping to see that

Beretta Lego it does look like it’s come out the prototype parts scrap bin I may be wrong but I can’t see it selling in the Uk

I’m not sure, but I get the feeling you like that gun! Lol great video.

I don’t shoot much 20, and wouldn’t want anything near this light in 12, but at least it’s interesting.

Even with the 21g carts the recoil looked horrendous.

If I wanted to play with plastic I will play with my kids Lego’s. I will keep my 725 thanks.

What are your thought in regards to feel, handling, and the balance between this and the Silver Pigeon? I am deciding between the two.

I was very excited until i saw it,i think i will stick with my miroku😉😉

I can't find anyone sharing the Ultraleggero side plates. I have the blank side plates, but nobody has shared any designs. Not a lot of 3d printer enthusiast who have this shotgun :P Update* I have printed a few designs, but the issue is a 3D printer is not a CNC machine and the ones that come with the Ultraleggero are 100% CNC, thus why you can't make something as nice. You need a CNC or laser cutter to make a really nice finish. Then again if you are going to buy a 3K shotgun, then you can buy a 1+k CNC :)

The frame a 694 should be used the fore end beefer and the stock more adjustable do it all

What a beautiful weapon, would like to get my hands on something like this someday greetings from Denmark :)

Thinking about one for ISSF skeet (ie 24 gram 9s at around 1350 fps). A typical sporter is too heavy and slow for that discipline. Am I insane?

Is the ultra xs better than this one ? With 26inch barrels for woodcock rough shooting....best regards from france ! Phil.

Thanks

Cheap looking really but I’m sure it’s not. Berettas are over priced!

It's a newer version of a 686 essential

How it Kicks with high loads of amunittion?

Can you review the Benelli BE Diamond please..:)

Nice gun, but those side plates are definitely not 3D printed. You can clearly see the ejector pin markings from injection molding.

Not at all surprised by the epic whinging in these comments, but the example I handled balanced under half an inch in front of the hinge (28" barrels, I believe), and the plastic bits looked great in person. Re durability, I'd bet on this over anyone's aluminum receiver. The wood IS plain, but highly figured wood is generally heavier and less rugged. If I was chasing a high energy dog all day, and a rooster runs & jumps at 30+ yards, it's hard to imagine a better O/U to have in hand than this.

Let's see we take a beretta shotgun and replace the steel with plastic to make it lighter. Boy that is a revolutionary idea. This genius idea makes the front end very heavy and destroys the balance and shoot ability of the gun. The wood resembles cheap turkish wood. Its an old American trick. You cheap out on materials and charge more for the same product. Im not this bull or the gun.

Coooool

Very Very light why 8.5 to 9 ideal

what is the length of the barrels on the specific weapon? because I intend to buy it at 71 or 76 cm!

Is it not very similar to the blaser f16 game?

Stick with my 686 20 ga

Looks cheap like a Kofs

I don’t think it’ll be a long production run.

Which one Benelli 828u or Beretta ? I think Benelli be better...😉😉☺️

I believe “Ultraleggero” is Italian for Plastic Pigeon?

Just get a side by side of you want a lightweight gun.

TGS side plates.?

Stop drooling Johnny 😂 Nice, very nice

Johnny I want one of those hats how can I get one??

Looks like laser etched more than 3D printing

What price tag this gun come out?

A silver pigeon is better value. Who puts plastic on a 2k shot gun?

I love Beretta and I don't. Right about when I like something - there's some thing that comes across as gimmicky or 'cheap'. Until now there's not been -too- much in the doubles in this respect - but... plastic? And I think about the noise people made about the Cynergys plastic bits. At least go Carbon Fiber or Micarta / G10 or something. They want another $500+ US for this over the Field. I'm sure it appeals to someone.

YOU TALKED A LOT.YOU TALKED ABOUT EVERYTHING BUT WHAT I WAS HOPING YOU WOULD TALK ABOUT THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME IS THE LOCKING MECHANISM.HOW DOES THE GUN LOCK UP.DOES IT USE THE 2 PINS,ONE ON EACH SIDE OF THE CHAMBERS OR A SOLID BAR UNDER THE BOTTOM CHAMBER ?.

When they want to go light.. Why not use carbonfibre and titanium?..

looks painful on the recoil 20ga+ light weight= mule kick to the jaw

Sorry, plastic parts is my exit. I’m just too old and trad. Can’t do it.

No disrespect to the narrator but any experienced sportsman can tell the gun is kicking you rather severely, especially when taking the overhead straightaway shots it’s apparent that the gun is jolting you. Beretta, and no manufacturer for that matter can defy physics. Sure if you’re shooting between 5 and 10 shots hunting not a big deal. Shoot a 100 rounds shooting skeet and you will develop a severe flinch (in time). With that said I appreciate your honesty in the end of your video. Hunting yes, clay shooting absolutely NOT!

Don’t mean to criticize but pronounce the G’s as H’s 😉, it’s mean ultra light but in Italian haha

These will have Holland and Holland stamped on them before you know it....

From what I see, it's been made to a budget and sold at a premium. Lovely gun but overpriced in my opinion

is it me or, does that T Shirt look like its been used to clean a dirty car?

Sorry don't like it... Il stick to my 687

How much is this weapon?

نسخه من اول إصدار S54

Bloody awfull and too expensive

Why are you fawning over this gun when it is almost a complete clone of the Benelli 828U?

Can’t tell if that’s a beautiful gun, or just looks that way because Jonny is holding it. Beretta should pay you through the arse for this review

I don't like it. Even as a field gun that needs to be light, I don't like it. It's bad enough that the stock looks like it came from lumber at a construction sight, the plastic makes it look remarkably cheep. Maybe if the plastic parts were aluminum the gun would look much better and be just as light. I'll pass on this one. Even if I got one for free, I'd hide it in the closet and hope no one ever sees it.

Plastic side plates....yuk.

بداع

Did my ex rub her face on that shirt?

Cheap gun...P.Beretta was fantastic gun maker...now, they follow only the easy money 😭😭😭

I have better looking gun than that and of cource comes from turkey doesn't look plastic

Its a cheap looking gun looks like made out of plastic

The worst Beretta ever

Çok konuşuyorsun 'ya sen deyil beretta konuşsun çok sıkıcı bir video adam tüfekten çok kendini gösteriyor 'ya uyuz oldum 'ya konuşmaktan atış bile yapmadı

“…you had to buy an ultralight before from Beretta now you can buy a….” …Ultralight but in Italian 🤌
