Beretta has officially unveiled the AX800 Suprema, its most advanced semi-automatic shotgun yet. It has been engineered for performance, comfort, and total control in tough, real-world hunting conditions. The AX800 Suprema brings cutting-edge gas technology, recoil mitigation and modern ergonomics to the field.
Key Features and Innovations of the Beretta AX800 Suprema
B-LINK® Pro Gas System
At the heart of the AX800 Suprema is Beretta’s new B-LINK Pro gas operating system. It cycles 36% faster than other shotguns in its class and is 46% cleaner than any previous Beretta gas shotgun. That means softer recoil, more reliable cycling with a wide range of loads (from light cartridges to 3.5″ super-magnums) and less maintenance between uses.
Kick-Off® Pro Recoil Reduction
The stock features Beretta’s Kick-Off Pro system, which reduces felt recoil by up to 70%. Combined with a fully adjustable length of pull, drop and cast, and interchangeable cheek piece and pistol grip, the shotgun can be tuned precisely for each shooter’s needs.
Steelium® Pro Barrel Technology
Beretta has equipped the Suprema with Steelium Pro barrels — the same high-performance barrels first developed for their Olympic-grade DT11 shotgun. These barrels feature a 450 mm forcing cone for enhanced energy transfer, tighter and more consistent shot patterns, and reduced muzzle rise.
Rugged Polymer Receiver
The receiver is made from glass-fibre-reinforced technopolymer, making it weather-resistant, light, and easy to clean (with no need for oil).
Red-Dot Ready Design
The Suprema includes a drilled-and-tapped interface on top of the receiver for mounting red-dot sights. Beretta supports this with a saddle-style mount for compact optics, giving shooters modern aiming options out of the box.
High-Capacity & Fast Handling
The oversized bolt handle and release make operation easy, even when wearing gloves. The magazine tube features a B-Lok cap, allowing quick disassembly with a 60° rotation. A “Competition Pro” lifter stays raised when the bolt is closed, facilitating faster reloading.
Optimachoke® HP Chokes
Optimachoke HP steel chokes that are designed for durability and compatibility with lead and steel loads come as standard.
Ergonomics & Fit
The stock has a fully adjustable length of pull (via spacers), plus interchangeable cheek piece and pistol grip making it easy for shooters to dial in the fit to their preference.
Durability & Reliability
This shotgun has been built to shrug off difficult environments. The polymer receiver, recoil reduction, and gas system all combine to deliver a shotgun that’s tough, consistent and easy to maintain.
