The Reptilia Saddle 100228 transforms Beretta 1301 and A300 shotguns into tactical platforms ready for modern accessories. This precision-machined mount creates a stable foundation for optics, lights, and other gear without compromising the shotgun's reliability or handling characteristics.
What Makes This Different
Unlike universal rail systems that add bulk and weight, the Reptilia Saddle integrates seamlessly with Beretta's receiver design. The 7075-T6 aluminum construction provides military-grade strength while maintaining a low profile that preserves the shotgun's natural balance. This mount withstands repeated recoil cycles from magnum loads without loosening or shifting zero.
Key Features
- Precision-machined from 7075-T6 aluminum for maximum durability
- Direct bolt-on installation to Beretta 1301 and A300 receivers
- Low-profile design maintains original sight picture and handling

- Compatible with standard Picatinny rail accessories
Field testing demonstrates consistent zero retention through thousands of rounds, including high-velocity waterfowl loads and tactical buckshot. The mount's rigid construction eliminates the flex common in polymer alternatives, ensuring optics maintain their settings during rapid-fire sequences. Competition shooters report improved target acquisition times when running red dot sights, while tactical users benefit from secure light mounting options.
