CEREALTHRILLER Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 I'm after a lightweight gun either a Beretta ultralight or Browning hunter light. Do owners of these have any comments, good or bad? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmaxphil Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 just make sure it fits properly as recoil can be heavier nice to carry tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoPe Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I have used my Beretta UL as my primary shotgun for about 6 years, and I am pleased. I was fortunate enough to find a stock that fit me, and from a recoil point of view this is extra important for this relatively light gun. I mostly shoot 32 g game loads and 24 g trap. Since the stock fits me, i feel no recoil what so ever, the difference is substantial in favour to the beretta when compared to my browning sporting weighing in at almost a kilo heavier. The gun comes with, if my memory serves, 66 and 71 cm barrel, I have the later. The longer barrels make the gun slightly front heavy, which I like, I have heard that the gun is slightly whimsy with the shorter barrels. Pros: Light to carry, "quick" to shoot. Cons: The name is ill suited, this gun is not Ultra light, just not as heavy as many game-guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Of course! If it's all about the carrying of the heavy gun all day! You can fit a sling to aid that? I tried a friends light weight O/U but found it too easy to swing and the 32g loads rattled a bit! Nothing major but a definative increase compared to my Laurona. It was lighter than mine by about a pound, but after carrying it around for a few hours, you still know your carrying it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alastair0903 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Even multi-choking the ultralight make the gun unbalanced . My friend has a fixed choke one witch he loves , however his father brought a multi choke one and you would be amazed how different the 2 guns felt . In the end my friends father has ended up putting lead in the stock to balance it , witch has made him shoot it a lot better but it isn`t a true ultralight any more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil123 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I've got a Browning Hunter Light, can't fault it. Nice and easy to carry- can really tell the difference when I get passed a gun to hold or vice versa. I don't feel any recoil at all and have never noticed any difference in it been "unbalanced or too easy to swing" Like mentioned above as long as it fits you......
