Evening all , called into rfd this evening and came across a oldish beretta game gun ( maybe 15- 20 years ) . Handled very nice 28" barrel multi choke , had typical scroll pattern with beretta 686 stamped under the action, thing was on the barrel it was stamped ultralight , has any one come across this before ? Was very different to any ultralight I'd previously looked at before , thanks

The Ultralight has an aluminium alloy frame for lightness. IIRC the breech face is steel though. Otherwise it's a 686, but considering the light weight, it might bash you around with anything other than light loads. Not a very good choice for 100 bird clay shoots - unless you like pain of course. :good:

Not so. I have used mine for several sim game days, shooting circa 500 carts a time. Yes, I know I've shot it but pain, absolutely not.

Granted some folk are less recoil sensitive than others, but you can't change the laws of physics and for a given shell load, the lighter the gun the greater the the recoil. The only person I ever knew who used a UL for clays bought it because due to size and strength limitations he had difficulty managing a full weight sporter, but he had to shoot 21gm shells through it. Even then he found it thumpy so eventually changed to a semi.

Evening , called back to rfd this afternoon to look at gun again , it seems to be a variant of the 686 that I have not come across before , was made in 2000 , standard scroll on a steel frame , ultralight stamped on barrels and weighing a tad under 7lbs, was looking for a replacement rough shooting gun as I have a mk70 for clays ,dealer though they were rare enough ?

I tried an ultralight a lad had at our club, the one with gold birds on. Felt nice fitted nice but it jumped about wen I shot it. Limited to 70mm carts to due to being alloy action.

Also tried a Winchester lightweight and that thing kicked like a mule, even its owner laughed and said it's got some kick. I would fit a isis pad to mitigate some of the recoil. Even if you don't feel the recoil your body is still getting it.

Might have a look about for a lightweight 525 , browning / miroku guns seem to fit me that bit better so thanks for replys , failing that going to have a serious look at getting a 20 bore with a decent cart for the coming season , might just be the way to go .
