Description
The A300 Ultima Patrol made a name for itself in 12 gauge, and this is the version a lot of folks have been waiting for. Beretta scaled the whole package down to 20 gauge, and the result is a defensive shotgun that weighs right around 6 pounds, kicks noticeably less, and swings faster in tight hallways and doorways. This one wears a limited edition Vietnam Tiger Stripe Cerakote finish, and it looks even better in person than it does in photos. If black tactical guns all blur together for you, this is the cure.
Why the A300 Ultima Patrol Works in 20 Gauge
The heart of the gun is Beretta's proven gas-operated A300 action, which soaks up recoil and cycles defensive loads with the kind of reliability that made this platform a favorite in the first place. Pair that gas system with the lighter-recoiling 20 gauge shell and you get a shotgun that just about anyone in the household can run comfortably and confidently. The 19.1 inch barrel has a 3 inch chamber and takes Mobil choke tubes, with an improved cylinder choke handling defensive duty right out of the box. Feeding it all is an extended magazine tube holding 7+1, so you're not giving up capacity to get the softer-shooting gauge.
Patrol-Ready Controls and Real Ergonomics
Beretta didn't just shrink the gun, they set it up right. The stock ships with a 13 inch length of pull and drops to 12 inches by pulling a spacer, which makes fitting smaller-framed users or shooting with armor a simple job. Enlarged controls, an oversized bolt handle and release, and an enhanced loading port keep reloads quick even with gloves on. Ghost ring sights get you on target fast, and a 7-slot Picatinny rail plus three M-LOK mounting points give you room for a red dot, light, or sling. It's even compatible with aftermarket 1301 Tactical rails and optic mounts, so the upgrade path is wide open. Integrated QD sling points and an aggressively textured forend round out a package that feels thought through from butt pad to muzzle.
A Limited Run Worth Grabbing
Between the low-recoil 20 gauge platform, the full 7+1 payload, and a finish you won't see on every rack, this Tiger Stripe A300 Ultima Patrol is one of those guns that tends to disappear quickly. Limited edition means exactly that, so if it caught your eye, don't sit on it too long.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the 20 gauge A300 Ultima Patrol different from the 12 gauge version?
The layout is essentially the same, including the 19.1 inch barrel, 7+1 extended magazine, ghost ring sights, and enlarged controls. The big differences are weight and recoil. At around 6 pounds with the softer-shooting 20 gauge shell, it's quicker to handle and much easier on the shoulder, which makes it a great fit for smaller-framed users or anyone who wants faster follow-up shots.
Can I mount a red dot on the A300 Ultima Patrol 20GA?
Yes. The receiver comes with a 7-slot Picatinny rail installed, and the gun is compatible with aftermarket Beretta 1301 Tactical rail and optic mount accessories. That gives you plenty of options for a red dot while the ghost ring sights handle backup duty.
Does the Tiger Stripe A300 Ultima Patrol take choke tubes?
It does. The 19.1 inch barrel uses Beretta's Mobil choke system and includes an improved cylinder tube, which is a solid all-around choice for defensive loads and buckshot patterns. You can swap in other Mobil chokes if you want to tighten or open things up.
Is this Tiger Stripe finish a standard production model?
No, this is a limited edition run. The 20 gauge Ultima Patrol comes in black and gray as standard offerings, but the Vietnam Tiger Stripe Cerakote version is produced in limited numbers. Once these are gone, there's no guarantee Beretta will make more.
