The Beretta AX800 Suprema Optifade Timber 12 gauge is a gas-operated semi-auto waterfowl shotgun with a 28-inch barrel and a 3.5-inch chamber (Beretta part no. JAX8TM18). Beretta calls it the most advanced waterfowl shotgun it has built, with the B-LINK Pro gas system, a Steelium Pro barrel and a Kick-Off Pro stock that cuts felt recoil by up to 70 percent. A polymer receiver with an integrated optic mount keeps it weatherproof and ready for a red dot, and the stock adjusts for length of pull, drop, cast, cheek piece and grip. It is built for the blind, the boat and heavy magnum loads.
