FAIR new 2024 ISIDE 2 Shotgun in 20 Ga - SHOT Show 2024

The successful F.A.I.R. side-by-side Iside series includes some versions that stand out for their elegance of details, such as the Iside Prestige De Luxe, well known to American hunters.

Available in all gauges from 12-ga to the smallest .410 bore, this shotgun is appreciated for its round-body action with rounded lines and proportions scaled to gauge. Machined from solid steel stock, the receiver has a very classic and sleek appearance, chrome finish and golden inlaid triple depth laser engravings. The subjects of the engravings vary according to the different gauges and show floral motifs, hunting scenes and wild birds in flight.

The gold-finished trigger is single selective, but the more traditional double-trigger is also available at the hunter's request. The locks have coil springs and hammers with a double half-mount system and the gun is locked into battery with a double Purdey-style underbolt. Shell ejectors are long-stroke, automatic and selective. The 76-millimeter magnum chambered barrels allow to fire different loads and ammo types, and are 28 inches (71 cm) long. As always in F.A.I.R. firearms, the bore is chrome lined to prevents lead deposits and ensure durability and accuracy over time.

The Iside Prestige De Luxe side-by-side shotgun also features a set of Tecnichoke Hunting XP50 internal and interchangeable chokes that make the shotgun even more versatile in different hunting situations. The stock and forend are English style with fine-pitch Scottish-style laser checkering. The wood used for the Iside Prestige De Luxe is premium-quality select European walnut and finished with the special High gloss treatment that enhances its luster.

The overall weight of the shotgun is about 2.8 kg in the larger 12-gauge and is lower in the smaller gauges, so it can be considered well-proportioned for the rugged characteristics of the Iside side-by-side shotgun.

Lightweight shotguns designed specifically for hunters are nothing new, but most of the dedicated designs on the market today are constructed with aluminum receivers, which saves on weight but at the expense of durability. Beretta's new Ultraleggero is designed to be durable while remaining easy to carry in the field, thanks to its steel receiver design.

“The Beretta Ultraleggero is for those upland bird hunters looking for a light, rugged and innovative over-under shotgun,” said Logan Killam, Beretta Product Manager, Shotguns. “At only 6.4 lbs., the steel-framed Ultraleggero can comfortably be carried and trusted on the longest days in the field, thanks to its uniquely designed receiver, barrels and stock.”

To save on weight without compromising rigidity, the Beretta Ultraleggero's receiver includes internal relief cuts. Another unique feature of the gun's receiver is the addition of "techno-polymer" inserts, which allow owners to customize the side plates of the shotgun with their own 3D-printed personal designs. Other design elements include an increased cavity within the stock, thereby saving further weight, a lightened fore-end structure that incorporates aluminum and Optima-Choke HP barrels that have no side ribs.

The 3"-chambered, 12-ga. Ultraleggero is available with either a 26" or 28" barrel, and each shotgun is outfitted with an Extralight recoil pad, a wooden, schnabel fore-end and a wood stock. The gun is also built with a single mechanical trigger. Unloaded, the shotgun weighs between 6.4 to 6.6 lbs., depending on barrel length. The suggested retail price on the Beretta Ultraleggero is $2,999.
