Anybody have one? I had an ethos in a 12 that I used towards the end of last season. I was an amazing deal and an even better pheasant gun. I traded it for a pre64 model 70. Kinda curious what the recoil is like on these considering the weight.

Yeah I had one of these in 12ga with 24" barrel several years ago and stupidly sold it (like i do all the others) ....The Ultralight was an excellent shotgun, it never jammed once but i only shot it a couple hundred times, where it shined was how well it handled, and as for the recoil it takes more recoil than that shotgun created for me to notice....Good luck 👍.....Hb

Nice, I see a guy on here has a montefeltro for sale. Thought about offering my model 70 in .300 I a trade. That or a franchi instinct or a tikka super lite 7mm-08 would be nice

I have a buddy who bought the performance shop model and is out west trying it out on multiple species, he said it quacks a little harder but I wasn’t sure if he’s just a wuss :$

I am breaking in a 28 ga UL this year. With 1 oz handloads it gets your attention, but it is a sweet-carrying pussycat with the 9/16 TSS loads I put through it last Friday evening.

Picked up a 20 ga Montefeltro as well, and that is another sweet little shotgun, plus it holds 4+1 if that matters.

If I found a 12 ga UL for a good price I would be very interested.

Nice shotgun Rick... and quail? I’ll try to post some of the pictures my buddy sent me with his new toy.

I have a Ultralight 12 Gauge 26” ...

They are nice, and almost too light - I don’t notice any kick though.

I had a M2 but upgraded to the ultra-light, I also have a SBE 1... which is death on wheels as well. I use the A shim so they shoot high and I can see the full bird as I (quoting Phil from the duck commander) shoot it’s head clean off ..



The Ultralight is all good. - it only takes 3 shells.. would be my only complaint when I’m popping a HUGE covey.

I love my 20ga UL for doves and upland over a dog.

12 & a 20, really like them both. I don't think recoil is bad but I don't do any high volume shooting with them. Mostly carried a lot, shot a little, and they are great for that.

Not a skeet shooting gun, but recoil is not that bad, really not noticeable in the field.

You probably won't enjoy shooting doves with a heavy field load but I haven't noticed any recoil shooting at quail with mine. I would love to trade the 12 for a 20 or 28 ga which I couldn't find when I was looking for a BUL.

The B UL’s are great shotguns but the new ones (or at least some, maybe just a run of which I was lucky enough to get two of) have recoil pads that disintegrate with the slightest use.

Not a terribly big deal but disconcerting that after taking a few birds and walking a mile you notice a big chunk of it missing. And then the other gun too.

Edit: I didn’t notice recoil at all in the 12 until I tried some 1 3/8 oz loads at high velocity. The 20 is just sweet with 1 oz loads and the 1 1/4 oz loads, if you use them, nudge just a bit.
