Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol Raider

Beretta is releasing two new configurations of the A300 Ultima Patrol shotgun platform to commemorate the United States Marine Corps’ 250th birthday: the A300 Ultima Patrol Raider Commemorative Edition, which is limited to 250 units, and a mission-ready standard A300 Ultima Patrol configuration.

Built to honor 250 years of Marine Corps excellence, the limited-edition Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol Raider pays tribute to the Marine Corps’ legacy in close-quarters battle. Featuring the legendary Frogskin camouflage that evokes WWII Pacific Theater combat, the Raider is a modern fighting shotgun that salutes the spirit of the United States Marine Corps while blending battlefield heritage with today’s performance. The A300 Ultima Patrol raider Commemorative Edition honors the USMC 250th and ships with a standard issue Ontario Knife Company (OKC) 3S bayonet, custom serial number and is presented in a custom display case.

The Standard configuration helps celebrate the USMC and provides the same operational upgrades and Frogskin finish as the Commemorative Edition, but does not include the bayonet or the custom display case.

  • WWII Style Frogskin camo
  • Custom packaging (Commemorative edition only)
  • Bayonet (Commemorative edition only)
  • Bayonet mount
  • Enlarged controls
  • Ample accessory mounts

“The United States Marine Corps’ 250th anniversary is a historic milestone, and we wanted to create something that truly celebrates their legacy,” said Caleb McMillen, Sr. Product Manager at Beretta USA. “The A300 Ultima Patrol Raider is more than a shotgun. It’s a tribute to 250 years of honor, courage and commitment. By blending battlefield heritage with modern performance, we’re proud to offer both a commemorative edition and a mission-ready configuration that salute America’s Finest Fighting Force.”
