The modern over/under shooter looks for a balance of trim weight, reliable lockup, and pointability that stays consistent through long days in the field or on the sporting clay range. For competitive shooters and upland hunters who prioritize a low carry weight without sacrificing the feel of a steel-action shotgun, the following breakdown covers how a high-end lightweight design changes follow-through and recoil management.

Design and weight-saving engineering

The BERETTA 690 ULTRALEGGERO is engineered to match the carry weight of aluminum-action guns while delivering the strength and durability associated with steel-action designs. Key features include a skeletonized receiver and optimized structural elements that shed mass without compromising rigidity. Beretta reduces stock weight by increasing an internal cavity, shaving roughly 129 grams versus comparable models, and uses a select wood with reduced density to maintain perfect balance.

Extralight recoil pad and balance

The shotgun sports an Extralight recoil pad with a closed-cell structure that is about 30% lighter than conventional pads. This not only reduces total carry weight but also improves resistance to abrasion and moisture—important for persistent performance in wet or muddy conditions.

Handling, reliability, and field use

Pointability improves as the gun’s mass moves closer to the shooter’s shoulder and the overall swing becomes crisper. The 690 Ultraleggero’s combination of lightness and structural integrity makes it suitable for long stints on the upland or extended competitive strings. As an Over Under category firearm, expect classic Beretta lockup and ejector technology built into a modern lightweight package.
