Beretta A300 Ultima Turkey

The Beretta A300 Ultima Turkey is the value pick among gas semi-auto turkey guns, and the factory Picatinny rail is the reason. Most turkey guns in this price range make you drill and tap the receiver or clamp a base to the barrel to run a red dot; the A300 comes with a 7-slot rail already on the receiver, so a compact optic mounts directly and holds zero. Turkey hunting rewards a precise aiming point, and this gun ships ready for one.

Beretta's gas system does two jobs here. It cycles the action so recoil is spread out rather than delivered in a single pump-gun jolt, and it pairs with the Kick-Off hydraulic damper in the stock to further cut felt recoil from the heavy 3-inch magnum turkey loads that beat up lighter guns. The 24-inch vent-rib barrel and extended MobilChoke deliver the long sight plane and tight pattern the role demands, and the Mossy Oak Bottomland camo suits the timber and bottomland where a lot of turkeys get killed.

This is the current name for what Beretta previously sold as the A300 Outlander Turkey; the action and value proposition carry over. A 20-gauge version is offered for hunters who want even lighter recoil. For a hunter who wants semi-auto softness and a real optics mount without crossing four figures, this is the standout.
