Overview
Built for hunters who split time between the blind, the field, and the range, this 12-gauge semi-auto is set up for fast follow-up shots and practical versatility. The 28-inch barrel, 3.5-inch chamber, and 2+1 capacity make it suited to waterfowl and upland use, while the built-in rails provide a straightforward path for mounting optics. Beretta’s Kick-Off system and ultra-soft Micro-Core butt-pad are included to help manage recoil, and the Optifade finish gives the gun a low-profile look in the field. It is a purpose-driven option for shooters who want a modern hunting shotgun with features that support both hunting and target work.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 2+1 capacity keeps the profile compact, but it also means more frequent reloads during extended hunts or range sessions.
- The 3.5" chamber adds versatility for heavier loads, but it can also make the gun less specialized for lighter-recoiling setups.
- Built-in rails support optic mounting, which is useful if you plan to add one, but they also add a layer of setup and accessory choice to consider.
- The fixed stock with Kick-Off is designed to reduce recoil, but it does not offer the adjustability some hunters prefer for fit tuning.
