The new Beretta UGB25 Xcel shotgun features an innovative locking system with a break-open action that allows completely safe operation during competitions. The second round is not hidden inside the magazine tube but remains visible in a side cartridge carrier.
The UGB25 Xcel, available in 12 gauge with a 30-inch barrel, operates on a short-barrel recoil system that keeps the gun’s internal parts clean even after prolonged use. The short recoil and low-set single barrel, which inhibits muzzle jump, lets you maintain the same point of impact with the second shot, allowing for quicker and easier realignment.
Crafted by Giugiaro Design, the UGB25 Xcel is ergonomically fashioned with a light alloy receiver that fits smoothly into the stock. It features select walnut stock with a water-resistant finish. All versions of the UGB25 Xcel feature the Optima-Bore barrel with a lengthened forcing cone for enhanced pattern distribution, reduced recoil and shot velocity optimization.
