BERETTA A300 ULTIMA PATROL

Beretta has been building gas-operated shotguns that refuse to quit for decades, and the Ultima Patrol is that pedigree in a short, purpose-built package. The BLINK system cycles fast and clean, while the oversized bolt handle, extended bolt release, and enlarged loading port keep reloads from turning into a fumbling contest. The Chisel stock trims length of pull to 13 inches so it swings easy in tight spaces, and ghost rings, a factory Picatinny rail, and M-Lok slots mean it’s ready as it sits.

Nothing left to add, nothing worth taking off.
