The Berreta A300 Ultima Patrol is all the new rage in semi auto tactical shotguns, and for good reason. It's packed with great features at a reasonable price. But there's one major flaw that has turned me off to it, and everyone should be warned about. I was holding one, ready to purchase when I realized the rear sight can't be adjusted. It's a rear ghost sight that cant be adjusted...You just have to hope the windage and elevation pre-set is zeroed to your shooting style, otherwise oh well....better learn your holds REALLY well.
There's no reason for this, might as well put a bead sight, because that's likely more versatile and accurate then this mess. I have read a few threads where people have replaced the rear sight with the 1301 sight, but still can't zero in as the height difference between the front and rear sight is too far off. A common problem with buying after market rear sights on shotguns.
The tropes of yesteryear are gone; accuracy does matter, you can miss with a shotgun, and precision is a thing....so why this oversight from such a company with such a good reputation?
Furthermore, how come every guntube review fails to mention this? They don't even try to point out the sight can be adjusted. Is every person reviewing guns trulybought out at this point?
Anyway, sorry for the rant. I just wanted everyone to be aware of what their getting into with this gun, as I was very disappointed and almost made a very expensive mistake. Cheers

I think your concerns over accuracy will fall on deaf ears among this crowd. I've been told that a pattern 4"-6" off center is well within acceptable norms here. I'm no beretta fan, and lately have been becoming no fan of any manufacturer. For $1000 dollars I should have all the options available to me that I desire. And i can't think of anyone who isn't paid off reviewing guns now days.

Unfortunately I would have to agree, as I've run into the same thing. I think the shotgun can do extraordinary things, but people's expectations, and what they believe is acceptable performance, is just too low.
And yeah, at $1000 I don't think having adjustable rear sights is too much to ask, considering I can get XS Sights on a 590a1 for $600.

Well....I mean, unless we are talking about a benelli.(especially poi issues) Then everyone will be sympathetic, send cards of condolences, have meetings to work through emotions dealing with the lost money, time and frustration.
