The Xtrema2 has more recoil reduction features than ANY other shotgun on the planet!

Let’s count them:

1. Gas operation with recoil reduction that no inertia operated shotgun can ever match. The Beretta gas system is considered to be the best in the world. The gas system is completely self-contained with no loose inertia springs or o-rings to lose while field-stripping.
2. Elastomer bolt damper to lessen the impact of the bolt and minimize the recoil signature.
3. Beretta’s Optima-bore over-bored barrel to minimize recoil and optimize pattern efficiency.
4. Beretta’s competition-proven spring/mass recoil reducer located in the stock grip (included in standard and KO models). This feature minimizes the recoil felt at the shooter’s face and shoulder, in addition to improving acquisition of follow-up shots.
5. Beretta’s Gel-Tek recoil pad to evenly distribute recoil over the entire surface of the pad.
6. Kick-Off Reduction System (on optionally equipped models) that utilizes the proven automotive technology of hydraulic dampening.
