The Beretta 1301 Competition Pro 12ga 24" shotgun is the ultimate choice for dynamic shooting disciplines, meticulously engineered with direct input from Beretta's champion shooters. This semi-automatic shotgun delivers unparalleled speed, unwavering reliability, and pinpoint precision, establishing itself as a highly sought-after firearm for enthusiasts across New Zealand and globally.

Crafted for peak performance, the 1301 Competition Pro seamlessly integrates advanced features throughout its stock, loading system, and barrel, providing a definitive competitive advantage. From its exceptionally rapid cycling to its superior recoil management, every component is designed to elevate the shooter's experience and optimise performance in demanding scenarios.

At the heart of the Beretta 1301 Competition Pro's blistering performance is its ultra-tested gas system, featuring a rotating head B-Link closure system. This innovative design offers a remarkable 36% faster cycling speed compared to other semi-automatic shotguns, ensuring consistent and accurate operation with a wide range of loads, round after round.

Reloading is made effortless and swift, a critical advantage in competitive shooting. The 1301 Competition Pro incorporates an oversized 3 inch chamber, which significantly aids in cartridge loading. An enlarged loading gate and a lifter system that remains raised during loading operations create a smooth "chute" for ammunition, effectively preventing thumb pinching and facilitating quick, efficient quad-loading. Further enhancing reload speed during intense competition, both the cocking handle and bolt release lever are oversized for intuitive and rapid manipulation.

The shotgun's design prioritises shooter comfort and stability, which are paramount for maintaining accuracy under pressure. The innovative polymeric stock integrates the Kick-Off Plus system, featuring two elastomer dampeners with return springs. These work in concert to significantly mitigate the initial recoil peak, reducing perceived recoil by up to 40%. A third elastomer dampener, strategically placed in the stock bolt, absorbs the second recoil peak, effectively minimising muzzle jump and vibrations for faster follow-up shots.

The revolutionary B-Steady system intelligently divides the stock into butt and forearm sections, positioning the recoil absorption point forward. This allows the forearm to move rearward while the butt remains stable, preventing uncomfortable rubbing of the comb against the cheek. The comb itself includes Soft Comb, a soft insert designed for gentle cheek contact. The rubber Comfort Grip enhances sensitivity and handling, while adjustable spacers allow for precise customisation of drop and cast. The MicroCore recoil plate ensures perfect shouldering and maximum stability, with further adjustability for stock length using the provided spacers. The ergonomic polymer forend, also featuring a rubber insert, provides maximum grip in all weather conditions.

The 1301 Competition Pro leverages the renowned Beretta Steelium barrel for outstanding ballistic performance. Crafted from Beretta's exclusive tri-alloy steel (Ni, Cr, Mo) through a meticulous process of deep drilling, cold hammer forging, and vacuum distension, the barrel features an elongated 80 mm double forcing cone. The internal profile of the OptimaBore HP barrels is expertly designed and rigorously tested to ensure excellent ballistic results with all ammunition types, including lead, steel, and High Performance steel. This engineering results in consistently dense and perfectly distributed patterns. The shotgun is supplied with three interchangeable OptimaChoke HP Black Edition choke tubes, empowering shooters to fine-tune the choke to suit various competition requirements. A 10x8 stepped rib, complete with a fibre optic sight and mid-bead sight, ensures optimum target acquisition.
