Key Features
- Enlarged Controls — Oversized bolt release and safety make manipulations fast under stress, crucial for tactical reloads and clearing malfunctions.
- Enhanced Loading Port — Beveled and opened port allows thumb-to-shell loading without snagging, shaving seconds off quad-load or tactical reload drills.
- Frogskin Camouflage — This factory-applied camo pattern blends into woodland, marsh, and low-light environments, reducing glare and signature.
- Picatinny Rail — Integral rail on the receiver lets you mount red dots, holographic sights, or low-light optics without aftermarket adapters.
- Ergonomic Forend Texturing — Aggressive grip texture on the forend ensures positive control with wet or gloved hands, critical for shooting on the move.
Who It’s For
This shotgun targets tech-forward shooters who demand modern reliability and customization. If you run a patrol carbine and want a shotgun that matches that speed — with an optics-ready platform, oversized controls, and a camo finish that stands out from black guns — the A300 Ultima Patrol is your next build base. It also appeals to hunters who cross-train with tactical gear and want one shotgun for both roles.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: 7+1 capacity in a compact 19.1-inch barrel — full-size tube without a long barrel.
- Pro: Gas-operated system reduces felt recoil and cycles low-brass target loads reliably.
- Con: The Frogskin finish may not match every user’s environment or aesthetic — if you prefer all-black, the A300 Ultima Patrol is also available in standard black.

According to Beretta specs, the A300 Ultima Patrol cycles 2.75-inch and 3-inch shells without adjustment. One honest drawback: the Frogskin finish is not available on the bolt carrier group, so you’ll see black metal against the camo stock — a minor visual mismatch for some.
FAQ
Can I mount a red dot directly on the receiver?
Yes, the receiver includes an integral Picatinny rail, so you can mount any standard red dot or reflex sight without an adapter plate.
Does this shotgun come with a choke tube?
Yes, it includes a flush-mount cylinder bore choke installed, and Beretta’s Optima-Choke HP system allows you to swap in other chokes for different patterns.
Is the stock adjustable for length of pull?
No, the stock is fixed-length at 13.75 inches. However, you can add a stock spacer kit (sold separately) to increase LOP by up to 0.5 inches.
Can I use this for 3-gun competition?
Absolutely. The 7+1 capacity, enlarged loading port, and optics-ready rail make it a strong contender for tactical shotgun divisions in 3-gun and multigun matches.
