Tennessee Wildlife Resouces Agency Chooses Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol

The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) has selected a new shotgun, the Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol. These guns are made in Tennesee, so they will be serving close to home. Beretta’s tactical shotguns have been on a roll lately and this is another sign of that success.

Patrol rifles have increasingly been displacing shotguns as the preferred long guns of law enforcement. However, for an agency specializing in wildlife matters, there are some very good reasons to keep a shotgun around. Between birdshot, buckshot, and slugs, a shotgun offers ammunition options to address any kind of animal emergency.

The A300 Ultima Patrol carries 7+1 shells and has tactial features like an enlarged loading port and oversized controls. Along with those features, the TWRA also gets training for their armorers as part of the package deal.

From the manufacturer:
