Key Features
- Duck Cocking Handle & Enlarged Bolt Release: The oversize cocking handle and bolt release make it easy to manipulate with gloved hands or in wet, muddy conditions—why it matters for waterfowlers who need fast, reliable cycling without fumbling.
- Beretta Kick-Off Recoil Reduction System: Hydraulic dampeners in the stock cut felt recoil by up to 40%, which matters because it keeps you comfortable during long days of heavy shooting and helps you stay on target for follow-up shots.
- 28″ Vent-Rib Barrel with Steelium Technology: The 28-inch barrel balances swing speed and reach, while Beretta’s Steelium barrels are cold-hammer-forged for consistent patterns—why it matters for clean kills on passing ducks and geese.
- Bayou Deview Camouflage Finish: This custom camo pattern blends into marsh, swamp, and wetland environments, which matters because it helps you stay concealed from sharp-eyed waterfowl.
- Rob Roberts Gun Works Exclusivity: Built in partnership with Johnny Stewart, this model includes factory-customized features not available on standard A300 Ultimas, which matters because you get a ready-to-hunt shotgun without aftermarket modifications.
Who It’s For
The Johnny Stewart Beretta A300 Ultima Duck Cocking Handle is ideal for waterfowl hunters who hunt in cold, wet environments and need a gun that works with gloves. It’s also a great fit for youth shooters or smaller-framed hunters who benefit from the reduced recoil of the Kick-Off system. If you’re a family teaching new hunters to shoot, the enlarged controls and soft recoil make learning easier.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Oversize controls work perfectly with gloves; Kick-Off recoil system is proven to reduce felt recoil by up to 40%; Bayou Deview camo is effective in wetland environments; 28″ barrel balances well for swing shooting.
Cons: The Bayou Deview camo pattern may not match all terrain types (e.g., open field or timber). Also, the 3+1 capacity is standard for waterfowl but some competitors offer extended magazine tubes.
