I picked up my new AL391 Urika Camo Max-4HD on a Friday evening. I went turkey hunting the next morning and the first shot dropped a gobbler at 25 yards. Needless to say, I'm a happy camper.

I have been using a Beretta 471 Silver Hawk for many years. It is without a doubt one the finest side-by-side guns I have come across. Well done Beretta.

I just returned from Argentina where I fired my new Beretta 391 Urika 2 20 ga almost 5000 times over four days. My bird boy's cleaning consisted of pulling a bore snake through the barrel and wiping down the outside - no more. The gun functioned perfectly all week. However, it did appreciate the thorough cleaning I gave it upon return home to Alaska!

I acquired this ULTRALIGHT O/U keeping in mind its light weight and balance (exclusively for tough walk up shoots in the highlands), and it surely delivered beyond my expectations. I have used this gun for partridge, quail, pheasant, dove and early teal shoots. I would advocate for the Ultralight as the finest and the most practical shotgun for a hunter on the go. Today I am addicted to the Ultralight for my upland adventures and the 391 Urika for waterfowling and upland shoots. I have added a recent picture. Happy hunting!

I started shooting at a summer camp when I was either 9 or 10, and I've enjoyed it ever since. I fell in love with shotguns when my Boy Scout troop went to a gun club in north Georgia for an entire day of shooting sporting clays. On my 16th birthday (about 3 months ago) I received the AL391 URIKA.

For the following month and a half, I was at the range every single Saturday and Sunday. I then developed bone marrow edema (excessive, swollen bone marrow) in my shoulder and was unable to shoot for a month. I have gotten back to the range every weekend. Since then, I have begun competing in a league on the weekends. I have shot a very large variety of shotguns ever since I started shooting seriously, and none have out-performed my current URIKA.

Well, my ES-100 Pintail delivered yet again. Two one-shot kills on deer in Virginia. One at 72 yards and the second at 36 yards. I shot a doe on opening day 2007 after missing a running buck and dropped a buck on Thanksgiving Morning 2007. The pictures speak for themselves. This gun delivers.

I am still using the A390 with no urge to buy another shotgun. I would love to boast that I have fired more than 10000 cartridges through it without any malfunction and the shotgun still looks to serve many more seasons.
Also, Beretta sure has become a status symbol in our neck of the woods (Pakistan).

Good hunting mates

I purchased this gun used. I love the design and look of the gun. I just came back from our outdoor range and was amazed by the performance. The gun was phenomenal. I shot 200 rounds of Federal hollow point. With the hard sites, it kept a 3 inch grouping at 30 yards. The gun never jammed and worked flawlessly.

Field stripping was a snap and clean up was easily. For all the naysayers out there, all I can say is that they must not own one.

Thanks for the awesome firearm.

I have always dreamed of owning a Beretta over&under and I finally got one.
I have been using it for one year, and it is the right choice for an upland hunter. I love it with all my heart (after my wife).

Me & my buddy, Amir Abbas, after a successful Duck Hunt at river Chenab Muzaffargarh (Pakistan).

I am from Pakistan and a lover of the great outdoors. I have used an AL391 Xtrema Shotgun for the past 6 months for many different purposes. I have to admit that it is the finest gas operated machine with the least recoil I have ever used. It doesn't matter if the sport is waterfowling, hare shooting, quail hunting or partridge. It even works brilliantly on skeet. In a continuous run, I have shot 400 cartridges without a single stick.

With no doubt this is the best gun I have ever used and I am sure it beats every other competitor.

Just when I thought you could not make a better AL391. Boy, was I wrong.
This AL391 Urika 2 is far better and the new gas piston works great.
Outstanding job BERETTA.

I have been using the A303 followed by the 390 ST for the past 10 years, but the new AL391 Urika has totally taken my shooting capabilities to a new level. I purchased the AL391 about a year back. After one year, I can submit that the gun has performed beyond my expectations - it is trouble free and has never broken down, even in rough conditions. This gun has the most efficient gas operating system among all the semi autos in the world.
The AL391 is without any doubt the best semi auto of its kind in the world today.

I purchased a Beretta A390 Silver Mallard. I have used it in every hunting season since. Today, I used it for Ducks.

I have been using Beretta products for the last five years and have been hunting since childhood. Beretta is the best shotgun in the world. I have a Beretta A303 and some other brands of shotguns, but Beretta is the best.

Another beautiful day, out in the field with my Onyx Pro. Great Gun, Great Hunt. Thanks Beretta.

Happy Hunting To All.

I bought my first Beretta, a 12 gauge Xtrema 2, this year after trying it out last season at the Ducks Unlimited Outdoor Show in Oshkosh. This gun is one of the best I have shot. No perceived recoil!!

I used it this year for ducks and pheasant. It is the Best shotgun in the safe!

By the way, Gerald McRaney does a fantastic job hosting the World of Beretta. He promotes the shooting and hunting sports in a way no others can.

Keep up the good work.

I purchased the Tikka SS in 270win and this rifle shoots. One hundred yard groups with factory ammo that cover with a nickel. Best out-of-the-box rifle you can buy for the money. I'll be looking for additional calibers in the Tikka! Try one - you'll fall in love with this rifle.

I wanted to share a picture of my first trophy of a Russa Deer with 17 inches long antlers, shot in Mauritius (an island in the Indian Ocean) on November 25, 2006. The deer was taken at a distance of 120 m with my Tikka
T3 Hunter equipped with a Burris Fullfield II scope.

The deer was first spotted at a distance of 300 m. Even though I was confident about taking a shot, I preferred approaching it, mostly because of the dense and tall shrubs. I did not want to risk losing the animal or having to search for it. The stalking and approach were also difficult due to the shrubs, but fortunately the wind was blowing into our face. When we sighted the deer a second time, we were at a good distance for taking a clear shot. The first shot hit the deer in the lungs and made the deer jump high in the air. On touching down, it started running across the shorter shrubs. A second shot was taken just to stop the deer and to ensure we reach the animal immediately. The second shot hit the deer in the heart and the deer dropped down on the spot.
I am very happy with my trophy; however, I am still looking for that 30 inches trophy. I am sure I will be able to trust my Tikka T3 Hunter and Burris Fullfield II to complete the job once I find the animal.

Thanks Tikka. Thanks Burris. And Thanks Beretta.

Prior to purchase, I was using another brand shotgun and every time I fired it, there was a jolt to my shoulder--Wow! I was hesitant to use it in a treestand unless well supported and I probably missed a couple of good shots due to hesitancy. This is my first year with the Extrema2 3 1/2 and it actually has less recoil than any shotgun I have fired! I am comfortable in my stand or on the ground. My first kill was a large 9 pointer moving at a pretty fast pace. The gun was so comfortable I didn't even know I had fired. I'm 70 years old and I feel this was a great investment because it brought back confidence

This is my first kill with a new Tikka T3 .270 WSM. Awesome firearm! It is highly accurate at 100yd., 3 shot 1.25" group with premium factory ammo.
It's super, light weight allows you to get the gun up to the target quickly. I only had about 2 seconds to spot, identify and fire to bag this trophy. The Tikka T3 performed wonderfully. It was everything I had come to expect.

I've owned my 686 Silver Pigeon 20 ga. for three years now and it has been an excellent choice for clay birds and just about anything with feathers. I mainly hunt for ruffed grouse and woodcock on public land in New York.
Here's a picture of a limit of grouse and woodcock from October '06. Seven flushes and seven birds in the bag.

Thanks Beretta!!

This gun has been all over with me and my dog, Pepper. It's been to Oregon shooting duck and pheasant, where we live in Arizona hunting the Gambels, and in the Southwest hunting Scaled. What a great gun it is!

I have been upland hunting now for about 25 years. I started around the age of 15. My dad got me into the sport. The first shotgun I purchased was a 687L 12ga over & under. I bought it about 15 years ago and since then I have been a true fan of Beretta guns. From dove to pheasant hunting, I have not found a better gun then a Beretta. Between my father and me, we have 6 Beretta shotguns and we have never had any sort of a problem with then.

Keep up the great work.

I have been shooting guns since I was a very little boy. I have shot many kinds of guns ranging from side-by-side English stock to European sporting clay competition guys. For duck hunting everything from a Browning BPS 10 Ga. pump to an over and under Citori and more. But absolutely nothing comes close to my Beretta Xtrema!

Job well done Beretta on creating such a marvel! Anyone out there looking for a smooth shooting gun please do yourself a favor and buy an Xtrema2.

I've enclosed a picture of a Tom I took with the 391 Urika in April of 2006.

I originate from Pakistan, a country with diverse terrain from deserts to the second highest peak of the world K2. The country abounds in upland hunting and boasts tremendous populations of grey and black partridge. We also have huge wetlands which provide summering grounds to waterfowl.

I have been using an A390 for the last 10 years and am all ravs about it. The gun has functioned flawlessly and hopefully it shall further serve for many seasons to come.

I have had many shotguns for last 25 years and I am a shotgun hunter from my childhood. I am also a good skeet shooter. On 16 April 2006 at Kalarkahar hunting reserve there was a pheasant shoot. It was my first shoot on pheasants in my life. Each shooter was given five cartridges to shoot five birds. I was using my five year-old Beretta AL390 Silver Mallard. I had full confidence on my Beretta. I shot four birds with five cartridges. What a result with my Beretta!

I purchased my Xtrema in December of 2005 for the upcoming turkey season. Hunting in Prince George Co., VA on April 22nd in stormy conditions, I bagged a 19 lb. gobbler at 9:47AM. The bird had a 10" beard and 1.25" spurs - probably a three year old. The gun functioned wonderfully and I look forward to many years of happiness with it.

I have been bird hunting since I was 11 — all upland birds and waterfowl. I have used many shotguns, including Beretta's, but the Xtrema is truly a "do-all" shotgun. Keep up the good work Beretta!! Oh, by the way, another limit of Columbia River Canadian Geese, Wa. State.

The opening of Turkey season in Tennessee was very satisfying. My Xtrema I and I accounted for a 24 lb. gobbler with a 9.5" beard and 3/4" spurs. Sunday, Day 2, my friend took a 21.5 lb. gobbler with an 8.5" beard and 1/2" spurs with his Beretta 390 NWTF shotgun. So the score is: Beretta 2 — Turkeys 0.

I recently purchased your new Xtrema 2 model shotgun. I am very satisfied with it and took my first mature gobbler this past weekend. Equipped with my new turkey choke, I was able to take this bird at 65 yards. He had 1 inch spurs, a 10 inch beard, and weighed 22 lbs. Thanks for making a quality shotgun.

A few years back I owned a Beretta A303 in 12 ga. At the same time I purchased a Browning A5 auto. I loaned my Beretta to my brother and I took the Browning hunting on opening day of dove season. It was a rainy day, of course. After only a little while in the field I had problems with the A5. It started to jamming. I got to looking at the shotgun and noticed that not only had the varnish started washing off the stock but that the stock was splitting horizontally up the stock. The gun my brother was using, the Beretta, was working just fine. I had a hard time convincing Browning of what happened. They said it was a duck blind gun and was suppose to withstand this kind of weather. Well of course the Browning was made in Japan and till this day I will never own another Browning. By the way, I just purchased a new Beretta AL391. I can’t wait to try the new gun out. Thanks for the fine craftsmanship you put in your guns.

Only one thing excites me more than the flush of a wild covey of bobwhite quail and that is harvesting that Southern prince with a good, reliable double barrel. My name is Adam Stinson. I am 15 years old and I love bobwhite quail hunting. I live in Alabama which, compared to most states, has a pretty good population of wild bobwhite quail. This is how I harvested my first one....I had received permission to hunt the property adjacent to the one I was on so I began making my way there. When I came to the fence, I broke open the action of my Beretta 686 Onyx and began to cross. After crossing, I looked at the ground and cover was thin and thought to I thought to myself "no birds will be here". so I began walking with my action open. That is where I made my mistake. About 10 yards in a covey of about 15 little brown rockets exploded at my feet. I quickly closed my action and raised my gun. Being to excited
I missed the first one and quickly acquired a new target. I fired and drop my first quail. The ground that I thought had sparse cover concealed on large covey of the greated game bird that inhabits this earth and I could not even see them. After the shot, out of fear of losing the bird, I quickly ran to where I saw it fall. At first I was scared that I would never find it but, after about 3 minutes of searching, I did. It was a beautiful male. And it was wild. That made it even more special. I quickly ran home and cleaned the bird hoping to preserve its delicious meat.

I would like to thank Beretta for making, in my opinion the best o/u shotgun is the world. I now own 5 beretta's and they are all incredible guns. Even the automatics are awesome....

Whether in the south or the midwest, quail need our help. So do all you can to make sure that future generations can hunt these blessing from above. Take care and safe hunting.

I have been using Beretta AL391 Urika Gold in 12 G for three years without a single problem and I am extremely happy with the performance, quality, fit and finish of my Beretta. I strongly recommend this semi auto to other shooters as a flawless performer with great handling slim fore end and state of the art recoil reduction technology combined with durable finish and great looks. I am so much satisfy and happy, I’ve decided that my next O/U shotgun will be from Beretta Silver Pigeon series to make a dream pair of Beretta semi auto and O/U.

I am extremely happen with My Sako Finnlight 270 cal. rifle. I bagged a whitetail that scored 180 and 5/8" on November 1, 2005 in Kenore Canada. I am very happy to have made this hunt and have good equipment with me to do the job. Thanks Beretta.

Four of just bought the Xtrema2 and wanted to thank you for making probably the best automatic ever made. We shot everything from skeet loads to 3.5 magnums without a single fail. I have attached a picture of one of our hunts. Sincerely Rick.

I have recently purchased an Ultralight Deluxe model. It is really a piece of jewelery.

Q: I recently bought my Beretta O/U White Onyx 20 ga 26". Where can I find references regarding the selection of the choke tubes? i.e. from clay shooting to turkey hunting? thanks.
A: Choke Chart

Q: I was wanting to know if anyone has hunted with the Onyx Pro 3.5 in a 12ga. using 3.5" magnums for ducks/geese. Mainly, I was wanting to know what the felt recoil was like? I hunt upland birds with a Beretta Onyx 686 in 20 ga., and I was looking for a duck gun that wouldn't beat me to death with 3.5" magnums. I didn't necessarily want to change actions; therefore, the Onyx Pro 3.5 was my first pick. However, the Xtrema2 looks tempting, but I would like to know if there is a significant difference between the Onyx Pro 3.5 and Xtrema2 on felt recoil? Also, I didn't notice on Beretta's website whether the Xtrema2 came in left hand models. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

A: John, Yes, the Onyx Pro 3.5 is specifically made for the purpose of duck and goose hunting! The receiver and barrels feature a subdued less reflective blue finish. Also, you'll note that this gun has X-tra Wood Stock and forend which makes the stock less impervious to moisture thereby reducing the chance of stock swelling which can occur when walnut is subjected to wet conditions. This product is for the waterfowler who prefers to shoot an Over/Under shotgun and is less affected by recoil.

Yes there is a significant difference in recoil between the Xtrema2 and the Onyx Pro. The Xtrema2 offers 6 recoil reduction features to make it the softest shooting autoloader on the market.

I've recently been duck hunting, Pintail, with my 686 Onyx Pro. I've been hunting since I was a kid and this is definitely the best gun I've ever shot or owned. I let my friends try it out and they loved it as well.

Q: I own a Beretta Mato rifle that I purchased new two years ago. What can you tell me about this gun? I have been told that it has a Dakota Action.

A: The Beretta Mato rifle (discontinued in 2002) was based on a Dakota Action. The Mato featured a fully adjustable trigger for overtravel and weight of pull, a select American walnut checkered gloss finished stock with black forend cap, ergonomically designed bolt handle, extra soft rubber recoil pad and drop out magazine. The receiver of the Dakota is drilled and tapped for Weaver style scope mounts and fitted with a muzzle break on the end of the matte oil finish walnut stock (no sights). The Length of Pull (LOP) for the Mato rifle was 13.5 inches with an Overall Length (OAL) of 44.5 inches. The stock comb rise was 14.5mm/0.56" and the heel drop was 21mm/0.81". The Mato was available in the following calibers: .270 Winchester Magnum, .338 Win. Mag. and .375 H&H (Holland and Holland) Magnum.

I only had one day to hunt deer this year. I spent most of the morning looking for a buck but only found does. I sat on a ridgeline to glass for the 52 head of Big Horn Sheep in the area. I looked down the hill at the top of the draw and there he was, looking at me! I shot him at 178 yards at a 15 down angle. The Beretta Mato was shooting true that day - thanks, Beretta!

Wow! I recently purchased a Tikka 7mm Rem Mag - what a sweet gun! I'm sure glad I went with the Tikka Rifle for my new firearm. Keep up the awesome work, guys! It shoots very smooth.

Q: I am looking for a good shotgun for hunting quail and upland game birds. Should I consider a 26" or 28" barrel?

A: Barrel length considerations should take into account the game, gauge, shot presentation, physical size of the shooter, and the shooter's shooting style: swing through, sustained lead, etc. Most shooters are well served with either 26" or 28" barrel length for upland hunting as the shot presentations are usually within 20 yards. A good barrel length for an "all around" O/U is 28". In short, choose the barrel length that you feel most comfortable with.

Randall LaPorte
Technical Service Representative

Q: I am recovering from a major shoulder surgery, but don't want to give up shooting. I'm looking for the best in low recoil impact, of course. There are several on the market. What have you?

A: The Xtrema2 has more recoil reduction features than ANY other shotgun on the planet!

I was able to achieve a one hundred yard three shot group of 1 and 1/2" with my Beretta EOS 100 slug gun. It is scoped with A Bushnell Trophy scope and I was using 2 3/4" Federal Barnes Expanders. I would recommend this gun to anyone who hunts deer with slugs.

Last season we had some wonderful duck shoots at river Chenab Muzaffargarh (Pakistan). One such picture is attached for my hunter friends all over the world.

Hungary is the heaven for Roe Bucks World Record Trophy. This year I have bagged over 700 grams and next year we will have even bigger ones.

Q: I would like to know if in the US there is knowledge and interest for Roe Bucks?

A: Beretta has been conducting Roebucks hunts for many American hunters for ten years now. There are a growing number of American sportsmen who are beginning to understand Europe’s fascination with this wily little buck. Two years ago one of our hunters Chris Wyatt took the heaviest Roebuck in Hungary (2003), 758 grams.

In 2004 our first group took eleven gold medals bucks and this year the first American group yielded seven gold medals by themselves.

During this season a buck of 810 grams was taken in an area right next to ours.

The first hunt for 2006 already has six hunters lined up.

Q: I am a beginning hunter and plan on hunting blue grouse in the Rockies and pheasant and other upland game birds with a Beretta 20g O/U. Can anyone recommend what type (not brand) of shells to use for different birds? Shot size etc.?

A: Thanks for your question. We have posted a chart on our website that should help you select the right shells for your game.

Hi,

Lookat this Mule Deer. 11 points.
Incredible!, this was hunted in the desert of Sonora Mexico.

Hi, this is wonderful dove hunting in Peru. We shot 150 doves in one morning. WE ALL HUNTED WITH BERETTA SHOTGUNS.

My uncle has shot his Silver Pigeon, nearly 100,000 rounds. You have to see the gun, it seems like new.

Look the photos, they are fantastic. The dog is only 3 months old, and is all ready retrieving.

Have a good time!

There is no doubt that Beretta guns are really well made. Almost all serious hunters either have one or dream of owning one. Therefore it was no surprise that an avid hunter from my country, Mr Khawar, is looking forward to laying his hands on an "Ultralight". I wish him success in his endeavors. If he likes, he can contact me(razi_ahmad88@hotmail.com) and we can go about sharing some hunting stories.

Q: I am a huge Sako/Tikka fan and cannot find any hats or caps or t-shirts with the Tikka or sako logo. Where can these be found?

A: There is a SAKO cap available in our e-store online. You may also be able to buy or order hats and shirts through your local dealer. Check out our dealer locator .

Q: I'm interested in purchasing a Beretta over and under but since its by first shotgun I'm concerned about the size of barrel. I'm tall and have long arms, does the size of the barrel matter or is it strictly dependant on what I intend to use it for? I would like a O/U shotgun that I could use for clay or bird hunting (mainly pheasant hunting)

Thanks Again, Al

A: Normally, selection of barrel length is geared to the type of game the gun will be used for. For example, grouse hunting usually takes place in tight cover and shot presentations are generally fairly quick - so typically a shorter barrel length is preferred. Conversely, certain types of duck hunting typically provides a longer shot presentation. In this case, the extended sighting plane of a longer barrel is generally preferred.

In all cases, barrel length considerations should take into account the game, gauge, shot presentation, physical size of the shooter, and the shooter's shooting style: swing through, sustained lead, etc.

Most shooters are well served with either 26" or 28" barrel length for pheasant hunting as the shot presentations are usually within 20 yards. A good barrel length for an "all around" O/U is 28"

In March of 2004 I purchased a Beretta ES-100 Pintail at a Friends of the NRA dinner in the live auction. I bought it to use as a hunting gun and supplement my existing collection. Needless to say it has been a work horse this past season accounting for pheasant, quail, chukar and 4 deer with the slug barrel. I also use it for clay target shooting and it is a blast to use for all the above game animals. This gun shoots, and shoots well. The slug barrel wears a Trijicon scope and is deadly accurate. The 28" bird barrel works very well with all of the choke tubes. To bad it has been discontinued in the United States.

Hi. This is a dove hunting, in South America. I have my S56 Beretta, very very old, but very good.

This past fall I was able to take my nephew on his first pheasant hunt. I live in Wyoming and my brother lives in Virginia, so I have missed most of my nephew, Justin's, childhood. So I was very happy when they came out for Christmas. Justin had never shot at a bird of anything up to this point, but my Uzi (my english setter) and Beretta were about to change that. Justin hit the first three birds he shot at with his trusty Silver Hawk. My brother and I did well with our Beretta's also. Him with an Onyx and me with a 28ga Silver Pigeon. Thank you Beretta for helping me create memories.

Remember to take a kid hunting.

After being away from any upland hunting for nearly 20 years, we found ourselves empty nesters. An old college friend got me back interested in shooting and I borrowed one of his guns, a Beretta 687, and went on a hunt. It was like I had never left the field. After that, I went out and bought my own — a 686 Silver Pigeon model and have been back into skeet, trap and hunting as often as I can. The gun is just unbelievable to handle, beautiful to look at and even my non-hunting wife agrees!

The temperature was hovering around the 20 degree mark with some snow and wind but when you've got a pup, you just got to run him. We found some late season Kansas pheasants holding tight in the CRP grass. My S686 Special in 20 gauge has yet to fail me. A definite "go to" pheasant gun, from Kansas to South Dakota. . . The worst part of the day was Chisel pointing a triple on roosters and I standing there with an empty gun after dropping a pair! Oh well, I'm a tried and true over/under shooter!

I recently bought the 3.5 Xtrema shotgun and I must say this is a fine piece of hunting hardware. I bought it based solely on Beretta's reputation as a quality firearm and this gun doesn't disappoint. I can go from shooting ducks in the early morning, deer on a drive in the late morning, rabbits and quail in the afternoon and back to ducks in the evening. Bottom line this gun can handle it all and do it all ....A truly great gun for any situation. Thanks Beretta

I have heard for years what a good gun Beretta was. I was never able to afford one till a couple of years ago. My first one was a 686 waterfowl. Have knocked down many ducks and geese with it. It fits me like a glove. Now I have another one, the 686 White Onyx; 20 gage. I got the chance to take it quail hunting and it fits me just like the 686 Pro.
Love them both.

Q: I bought my new storm in 9mm about 5 months ago and love it. When I bought the gun I received a coupon for two hi-cap mags. Could you tell me how long it takes to receive the free mags? Thanks!

A :"Two Free High Cap Magazines" Offer Update:
Due to our military obligations to our men and women overseas, delivery of magazines to fulfill the "2 free high capacity magazine" offer has been slow. The 92 / CX4 9mm magazines are expected to start shipping again January 26, 2005 and the 96 .40 cal magazines are expected to start shipping again on February 15, 2005. We thank-you for your patience.

I would like to take a minute to say Bravo Zulo for a job well done. Your new series with Gerald McRaney is one of the best hunting series I have ever had the privilege to watch. I have been a long time admirer of Mr. McRaney's, and will continue to be. Your program is very well produced, and is in my humble opinion the best there is on OLNTV. Keep up the good work, should you ever need a hunting partner for Mr. McRaney, I would count it an honor to hunt with him. Again thank you for a most enjoyable program.

I have a Beretta three inch shotgun. I am only twelve years old and it was my first time goose hunting. A flock of geese came over and I shot and missed. The other people with me got a goose or two so I was a little mad. When the next flock flew over the other guys with me got a goose. I take a shot and I just hit one and it goes down. So I have one goose while the rest have two. The person calling the geese had to go find his goose that was a long way away. When our caller left to find his goose a huge flock of geese came and the other guy with me doesn’t have a call so we hope the geese come in and they do. All I see is a huge thing of black while the geese try to land by our decoys. “BOOM” the other guy shoots and misses. Then I see a big flock of geese in front of me I take a shot and “BOOM” I get three geese in a shot. Two dropped right away and the other one I had to shoot on the ground. Well, all three of us that day got four geese each and I am a twelve-year-old beginner. A 60+ year old retired and a 30-40 year old, still at his prime, all got the same amount of geese. If we could of got all the geese that came we would of had over 10,000 geese. Not all of them came, lots were in the distance. If you want great hunting like this come to Waterhen, Manitoba. We have lots of every animal.

I bought an Xtrema in August of 03. I wanted a gun that could hold up to me and would be versatile in all that I do. An Xtrema is the best feeling, recoil friendly gun on the market and holds up to anything I put it through. I average 200 dove, 50 ducks and 15 geese a year. I have taken at least 1 of everything I hunt with my Xtrema in 03-04 season including a cowhorn buck and 2 turkeys and unsure of dove and waterfowl. I shot 700 sporting clays one day without cleaning and never had one single mechanical problem whatsoever. Want a true shooting, true feeling, recoil friendly dependable shotgun? Save yourself time & money and embarrassment and get an Xtrema!

For most of us we look at the CX4 storm as a tactical, home protection, and range type of firearm.

Well here is another use:

I like to go deer hunting as often as possible. I usually use a 270 Browning A Bolt in the early part of the season, and a Winchester 30/30 in the later part.

Here is the problem: Most deer show up running across your path with in 50 yards in dense woods. Needless to say I could not wait to take my CX4 out. After mounting and sighting in my Aimpoint Comp ML2 optic, I headed out for the first time this season. With much success! I plan on using my CX4 every time for late season deer hunting.

Thank You Very Much Beretta
For a Awesome Rifle

I purchased a model 391 20 ga. in Aug. of 2003. Went to Cordoa, Argentina in Oct. 25 thru Oct. 31, 2003. I shot 6,175 shells with one gun in four days. Oct. 29 thru Nov. 3, 2004. Shot 3,350 shells thru the same gun. Total for both trips 9,525 shells. The 391 never jammed or cause any problems. Have shot 750 rounds at skeet range. All total 10,275 rounds. You have a very good shotgun.

For over a year I have been shooting a 391 Optima for clays,duck hunting, and upland game. I had gotten tired of cleaning the mud from its fine walnut stock. So when I saw the 3901 NRA Special Edition I had my dealer order one for me. I have had my 3901 in the duck blind several times now plus out pheasant hunting. IT SHOOTS GREAT !! It does not matter if its Heavy steel shot water fowl loads or lead upland game loads it keeps right on shooting with out ANY problem. I am not sure which I like better my Optima or my 3901. Both are great guns. As for the mud the gun cleans up great.

Q: I HAVE RECENTLY PURCHASED A BERETTA EXTREMA. I LOVE IT. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A HAT TO MATCH MY MAX4 WETLANDS EXTREMA AND I CAN'T EVEN FIND ONE IN ALL OF JONESBORO. COULD YOU PLEASE HELP ME OUT.

A: Your local Beretta Dealer should be able to place an order for you if they don't have one in stock. We have a camo hunting cap, item number JG242C77, in Max 4 Wetlands pattern. We also have the same hat with leather details item number JG241C77.

Q: How do you determine which shot gun fits your needs and can you use the same shot gun for field and competition?

A: The condensed answer to the first part of your question is that proper selection of a shotgun varies greatly depending on the intended use. Hunting birds such as grouse and woodcock would suggest a shorter 26" barrel to facilitate shotgun swing in dense cover, close-quarter shooting. Conversely, competitive FITASC shooting where target presentations sometimes exceed distances of 60 yards suggest the longer sighting plane and follow-through momentum of a 32" or 34" barrel.

With respect to the second part of your question: you can use the same shotgun for field and competitive purposes. The origins of competitive shotgun shooting derived from the need of hunters to obtain some off-season practice. Over time, competition improved shooting skills and competitors began to look for improvements in their shotguns to increase their scores. From this, specialized competition guns were born. So, a field shotgun can double as a sporting clays gun...but to maximize your performance at your local gun club - one should consider the specialized competition shotgun.

I wanted to share this with the rest of the Beretta community:

In 1972 when I was only 13 years old, my family went to Europe. I really wasn't very excited about leaving and missing the opening of dove season. So my Dad told me that if decided to stay home he would bring me back a Beretta from Italy. As you can all imagine I jumped at the opportunity and 11 months after labor strikes and other import issues, my new 12 gauge SE56 O/U (I am not sure how much the guns cost my dad, but I could care less) it was and still is today a beautiful gun, two sets of barrels skeet/skeet 26 inch and mod/full 28inc.

Without exaggerating I have shot well over 80,000 rounds with it. Skeet, Dove, Ducks, Snipe, I even shot wild pigs and 2 deer with it. Maybe 80,000 rounds is not too much for some of you 24/7 shooters, but to me this is a lot of shooting. Add to the fact that this gun as never malfunctioned, this is in my opinion incredible.

Thank you Beretta, for making my life a field a memorable one.

I have always been a "Browning man" like my Father and Grandfather. When looking for a new shotgun at our local gun store, I decided to look at a Beretta. I liked the look of the Camo on the firearm, (Beretta's Xtrema 3.5). I decided to give it a try... now my Father and my Grandfather both have one... we all have never had any problems with the guns... I personally will never buy a different make.

Thank you Beretta,

I haven't been hunting yet, just target shooting. I want to say what a awesome rifle you people have made! My gun is a 25-06 and first impression is every thing at 100yrds. 10 shots I could punch holes under a quarter. The 200yrds: 10 shots under 2 1/2 inch group. The 300yrds: 10 shot under 4 inches. I can't wait for deer season this year!

I just received and shot my Cx4 Storm and what an awesome gun. One issue though was that the 15 round mags shipped with it don't hold open the bolt after the last shot. After contacting Beretta's customer support, they politely and quickly resolved my problem. Kudos!! Secondly, I have a suggestion: create (mold?) a place in the stock (perhaps under the rubber butt cap) to hold the sight adjusting tool, so it will be handy with the gun should it be needed.

I am interested in starting a shooting team at my school. There is a a lot of talent but not a a lot of support from the staff. Does anyone have any suggestions that might help me develop the sport at my school?

I was at a game farm and i got my first pheasant with my Beretta.

I AM 37 YEARS OF OLD. I LIVE IN A REMOTE CITY OF PAKISTAN. I HAVE BEEN HUNTING FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS. I HAVE USED NUMBER OF OVER & UNDERS SHOTGUNS BUT THERE IS NO MATCH WITH BERETTA OVER & UNDERS. I LOVE BERETTA ULTRA LIGHT. IT IS REALLY A DREAM GUN FOR HUNTERS. ITS MY BAD LUCK THAT DUE TO BAN ON IMPORTS THERE IS SCARCITY OF GUNS IN MY COUNTRY. THE GUN PRICES ARE TOO HIGH. I AM SURE THAT ONE DAY I WILL BE ABLE TO SAVE MONEY TO BUY ONE. PRAY FOR ME OTHERWISE IT WILL REMAIN A DREAM FOR ME.

What an excellent rifle! I just shot it for the second time yesterday. I cannot tell you how pleased I am with this rifle. I have shot four types of factory ammunition out of this rifle and none of them print more than 1/2 MOA. 150gr Win Ballistic Silvertips chrono at 3315fps and Federal 180gr Grand Slams clock out at just under 3000fps. I own a whole safe-full of rifles but the Sakos are the only rifles that print in the exact point of aim either dirty or clean. I never need to shoot a "Fouling Shot" with any of my Sakos. I think I need a Finnlight in 243 for Christmas.

I BOUGHT A NEW 391URIKA IN MOSSYOAK BREAKUP FOR DUCK HUNTING. I NEVER KNEW THEY MADE SUCH A RELIABLE AND ACCURATE SHOTGUN. I HAVE MANY SHOTGUNS, BUT NONE EQUAL MY BERETTA. GOOD LORD WILLING I WILL OWN MANY MORE BERETTA GUNS

There is only one sound sweeter than the sound of a gobbler on a spring morning and that is the blast of my 3.5" Xtrema. I have become a loyal Xtrema owner and swear by the versatility of the gun. I use my gun for goose / turkey hunting with hard hitting 3.5” mags to light sporting clay loads. I only need one shotgun for all seasons. There is no better practice for hunting than shooting sporting clays with your hunting gun. This is not my first Xtrema; I had the misfortune if having my first one stolen and when it came time to replace the gun, there was no doubt that only another Xtrema could replace it. A gun truly designed and engineered for the hunter.

Thank you, Mike Kelly

This is the first time I have ever done this, but I wanted to say that after 45 years of owning 30 or 40 different rifles, with six still in possession, that the 7mm-08 T3 Lite I bought last December is the finest rifle; regardless of make, model, or price, that I have ever owned and shot.

It has everything I want in a rifle from front to rear — great trigger, functional design and weight, and the bottom line for all rifles for me is that it SHOOTS! The first time I zeroed it, I put nine rounds in a quarter at 100 yards with a 15 to 20 mph crosswind. I was the police department's anti-sniper and shot competitively in the Army. I'm currently working for Gander Mountain in the gun department in Appleton, Wisconsin. I have had not one dissatisfied customer who bought a Tikka T3 in any model, finish, or caliber. Over the last six months, I have sold over 30 Tikkas and currently have customer orders for six more as soon as we can get the guns in. I merely inform the customers of the gun’s features. After that they sell themselves unlike any other make or model of rifle that we offer. I have never had an out of the box rifle like my 7-08. I'm so pleased with it that I just bought one in .308 Win. Only complaint I have is that the rifles and magazines are hard to come by at this time of year. And, Beretta doesn't offer any Tikka hats/apparel, so I had my own hat embroidered with "TIKKA." I'm a fan, as you would guess. Keep making the T3 and faster!

I purchased a Beretta AL-2 in 1970. I have used it every hunting season since, bagging dove, quail, grouse, pheasant, numerous varieties of duck & geese, and even swan, and it has NEVER failed to perform. That's 34 years in all kinds of weather conditions without any problems ... I call that QUALITY!!!
