SHORT RECOIL OPERATION
The operating principle of the Beretta breakopen semiautomatic UGB25 Xcel is based on short recoil, which keeps the internal parts of the gun clean even after prolonged use. The short recoil and the low barrel axis position almost completely compensate for muzzle jump during firing, with quicker and easier re-alignment of the barrel on the target for the next shot.

The perfect tuning of the short recoil action allows the use of all 12 gauge 2 3/4" (70 mm) competition cartridges, from subsonic up to 1 1/4 oz (36 g), without any modification.

RECEIVER
The Beretta break-open semiautomatic UGB25 Xcel features the unmistakable touch of Giugiaro Design. The ergonomically rounded back of the light alloy receiver fits smoothly into the stock, allowing quick and instinctive target acquisition. The polished sides contrast pleasingly with the other matte anti-glare surfaces. The streamlined receiver and the newly-designed fore-end with its extended checkered configuration combine to give the Beretta UGB25Xcel an extremely attractive look. The modified Greener-style cross-locking bolt is located at the top near the back of the receiver. On the left is the opening lever and on the right the cartridge carrier and the second cartridge feeding port. The ejection port is located underneath the receiver.

REDUCED FELT RECOIL
Felt recoil is minimized by the short recoil operation system, by the low barrel axis position which transmits the recoil forces directly in line with the shooter’s shoulder, by the double recoil dampers located in the receiver, by the Beretta Recoil Reduction System in the stock and by the recoil absorbing Beretta Gel Tek recoil pad.

DOUBLE RECOIL DAMPER FOR BOLT PARTS
The two technopolymer recoil dampers of the breech bolt cushion its impact with the bottom of the receiver, reducing vibration and increasing the life of the gun.

SIDE FEED, BOTTOM EJECTION
The cartridge carrier receives the second cartridge on the right-hand side of the receiver, making it immediately ready for use. It is chambered automatically through the feeding port after the first round in the cartridge chamber has been fired and ejected.

The design of the cartridge carrier button and its position on the receiver ensure quick and easy removal of the cartridge on the carrier.

The ejection port is in the bottom of the receiver. The ejector expels the spent hull downwards, away from the shooter and nearby competitors, meanwhile it is user-friendly for both right and left-handed shooters.

HAND POSITION INDICATOR ON THE FORE-END
In front of the ejection port, is a polymer insert used to indicate the correct position of the hand on the fore-end during firing to prevent contact with the hulls as the spent cartridges are ejected.

TRIGGER PLATE
The trigger plate is made entirely of high-resistance fiberglass-reinforced technopolymer and features self-lubrication of the firing mechanism, good vibration absorption and thermal stability for improved “feel” in cold weather. It is designed specifically to optimize the ergonomics. The safety button is in the standard position (for right-handed use), but it may be reversed for left-handed use by a competent gunsmith.

OPTIMA-BORE® BARREL, OPTIMACHOKE®
TUBES
All versions of the Beretta break-open semiautomatic UGB25 Xcel come with an Optima-Bore barrel with a lengthened forcing cone for enhanced pattern distribution, reduced felt recoil and shot velocity optimization. The internal shape of the Beretta’s Optimachoke and Extended Optimachoke tubes is designed to reduce shot deformation and to enhance shot pattern distribution and concentration. They may be used with steel shot cartridges.

The aluminum alloy top rib is easy to remove and is interchangeable with others of different types and sizes.

STOCK
Made of selected walnut with a water-resistant finish, the standard stock comes with a Beretta Gel•Tek recoil absorbing pad that reduces much of the felt recoil during firing. Different size recoil pads can be mounted in a few seconds to modify the length of pull. The stock is designed to hold the Beretta Recoil Reduction System. The fore-end, which is also made of walnut, has a semi-beavertail configuration. The exclusive, newly designed checkering on the stock and fore-end, made by Laser Technology, enhances the look of the shotgun and guarantees a firm hold even in the most adverse weather conditions.

Between the stock and the receiver is a fiberglass-reinforced technopolymer spacer and inside the stock is a metal plate that can be used to change the drop and cast of the stock by simply modifying their assembly position. A set of additional spacers is also provided.

MULTI-ADJUSTABLE STOCK
In some versions the walnut stock is fully adjustable in terms of drop and cast and is supplied with the Beretta Memory System. The length of pull can be varied by adjusting the recoil pad support and the cast at heel and at toe can be modified by changing the angle of the Beretta Gel•Tek interchangeable recoil pad. The multi-adjustable stock comes with the Beretta Recoil Reduction System inside, comprised of a spring mass system which counteracts the backward force of the gun during firing, significantly reducing felt recoil.(Note: International Trap adjustable stock shown in above images, American Trap stock with Montecarlo also available.)

FULL KIT OF ACCESSORIES
The Beretta break-open semiautomatic UGB25 Xcel comes in a case that contains a wide range of accessories: a set of drop/cast spacers, a 25-ml bottle of Beretta gun oil, a multi-purpose service tool, interchangeable Optimachoke or Extended Optimachoke tubes and choke-tube wrench.
