The 18.6 in Optima-Bore HP back-bored barrel is set up with a cylinder bore (Cyl choke) and a 3 in chamber, delivering the patterning and payload flexibility expected from the 1301 Tactical series. The back-bored design (nominal 18.6 mm) pairs with Beretta’s OBHP geometry for consistent performance with standard and steel-shot loads.
Sights and mounting are addressed by a factory receiver Picatinny rail combined with an adjustable ghost-ring rear sight and a protected front post. This arrangement provides a clear, fast sight picture while keeping the gun’s sighting components robust and duty-ready.
Controls are enlarged for confident manipulation, including an oversized charging handle and an enlarged bolt-release. A cross-bolt safety, textured synthetic forend, and molded-checkered fixed stock with recoil pad support secure handling in varied conditions.
The alloy receiver and matte black finish keep weight down and surfaces durable. This shotgun bears C.I.P. steel-shot proof marks and the IT24 Italian date code, with the “BERETTA USA CORP. GALLATIN, TN” import mark, underscoring its verified origin and compliance.
