Beretta AX800 Suprema
Fabbrica d'Armi Pietro Beretta S.p.A. · Shotgun · In Production · 2025
Also known as: AX800
Overview
The Beretta AX800 Suprema is a 12-gauge gas-operated semi-automatic shotgun engineered for demanding waterfowl hunters, introduced as Beretta's latest-generation autoloader. It is built around the new B-LINK Pro gas system, which Beretta states cycles roughly 36 percent faster and 46 percent cleaner than its previous gas action, reliably running everything from light target loads to heavy 3.5-inch magnums. A Steelium Pro barrel with a 17.7-inch triple forcing cone tightens patterns while the Kick-Off Pro stock cuts felt recoil by up to 70 percent, and a lightweight polymer receiver keeps the gun nimble in the blind.

Background
Beretta named the gas system in the AX800 'B-LINK Pro' and claims it strips and reassembles tool-free in the field - a direct answer to waterfowlers who abandoned gas guns for inertia actions over cleaning headaches in mud and salt marshes.
