Beretta has released a limited-edition A300 Ultima Patrol Raider produced to mark the 250th anniversary of the United States Marine Corps. The Raider pairs the A300 platform with a Frogskin-pattern finish inspired by early disruptive camouflage used in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Each shotgun is individually serialized and delivered with a custom wooden presentation case and a wooden ammo crate with velvet lining and rope handles.

Beretta A300 Shotgun @ TFB:

I have to say that of all Beretta “specials”, this one attracts me the most. I’d love to take it to the range and work myself through some interesting and odd shotgun ammunition types. The OKC bayonet is a special touch.

The Raider is built on the A300 Ultima Patrol chassis and retains that model’s functional features: enlarged controls, an expanded loading port, an extended magazine tube with 7+1 capacity, a shortened compact stock with a 13" length of pull, and aggressive texturing on the forend for improved purchase in adverse conditions.

The design includes an oversized, reversible safety, an extended bolt release and bolt handle to assist faster reloads, an installed 7-slot Picatinny rail and three M-LOK attachment points, and compatibility with Beretta 1301 Tactical aftermarket rail and optic mounts.

This commemorative edition is fitted with an integral bayonet mount and ships with an Ontario Knife Company (OKC) 3S bayonet. The package emphasizes the shotgun’s historical association with close-quarters roles by including the bayonet and mount as part of the kit.

Each unit is serialized to indicate limited production and is supplied with a display-ready wooden crate and case intended for collection or presentation.

The price starts from $2,499, and the product code is: SPEC0765A. For more details, click on this direct link, but before you leave, please tell us what you think: https://www.beretta.com/en-us/product/a300-ultima-patrol-raider-commemorative-edition-FA0252

    Ahh yes, we all know the story behind how all those Italian A300 Ultimas were used by the US Marines to single-handedly liberate the Pacific Islands... what a fine way to commemorate such an iconic WWII allied weapon!! /s
