Beretta has unveiled its new AX800 Suprema, a ground-up engineered waterfowl shotgun for serious hunters who demand maximum reliability in the blind, on the boat, and in the worst weather. The AX800 Suprema combines breakthrough gas-system technology, championship barrel engineering, and industry-leading recoil mitigation designed to deliver more effective shots, faster follow-ups, and less maintenance between hunts.
“The AX800 Suprema is the most advanced waterfowl shotgun we’ve ever built,” said Caleb McMillen, Beretta USA Sr. Product Manager for Long Guns. “Every part of this platform was designed and engineered to give waterfowl hunters an advantage: harder hitting and more consistent patterns, faster cycling, dramatically reduced felt recoil, cleaner operation, and a fit system that lets shooters fine-tune the gun to their body.”
Key Innovations & Features:
- B-LINK Pro Gas System — Beretta’s fastest, cleanest, most reliable gas system to date. B-LINK Pro cycles everything from light target loads to heavy magnums with ease, running 36% faster and 46% cleaner than prior Beretta gas systems (including the A400 Xtreme Plus). The result: softer felt recoil, more consistent cycling, and less time cleaning between hunts.
- Steelium Pro Barrels — Barrel technology trusted by the world’s best clay shooters is now built for the blind. Proven in Beretta’s world-champion DT11, the shotgun behind 14 out of 15 podium finishes at the 2024 Olympics, Steelium Pro features an extended 17.7" (450mm) forcing cone to deliver tighter, more consistent patterns, greater down range energy, and reliable performance, shot after shot.
- Kick-Off Pro Recoil Reduction — Built to handle the heaviest waterfowl loads, the Kick-Off Pro stock system cuts felt recoil by up to 70%.
- High-Tech Polymer Receiver — Rugged, weatherproof, and easy to clean. The sleek high-tech polymer receiver features a modular design and an integrated optic mount to keep you ready for any setup.
- Adjustable Fit System —Fully configurable to fit each shooter out of the box. Interchangeable pistol grip, adjustable comb, adjustable length of pull, cast/drop adjustments, and a weather-resistant recoil pad. Designed for intuitive handling in tight blind and boat environments; features a flat trigger with a crisp break and fast reset.
- User-First Ergonomics — Oversized loading port with pro-lifter, bolt handle, bolt release, and enlarged trigger guard for reliable operation in wet, cold, or gloved conditions.
Designed for real-world waterfowl hunting, the AX800 Suprema emphasizes both peak performance and field durability. The combination of B-LINK Pro’s rapid, clean cycling, the Steelium Pro barrel’s pattern control and recoil reduction means hunters can trust their first shot and their last, all season long. The AX800 Suprema will be available through authorized Beretta dealers in December, offered in a variety of finishes to match any environment or style. The release also complements Beretta’s recently launched Suprema Waterfowl Collection, a premium apparel line designed to keep hunters dry, warm and concealed in even the toughest environments.
