November 10th, 2025, isn’t just another Monday; it is the United States Marine Corps’ 250th Birthday. Yes, the Devil Dogs have reached an incredible milestone—a quarter of a millennium. And while I’m sure we can all assume how the celebration will go (I don’t want to see that bar tab), countless organizations have joined the celebration. The latest addition is Beretta, with the introduction of two commemorative models — the A300 Ultima Patrol Raider.
A300 Ultima Patrol Raider
Both models are standard A300 Ultima Patrol shotguns with added features to mark the special occasion. The A300 Ultima Patrol Raider Commemorative Edition is limited to 250 units. It features the iconic Frogskin camouflage, evoking memories of the Pacific Theater during World War II. Additionally, this model comes with a standard-issue Ontario Knife Company (OKC) 3S bayonet, a unique serial number, and is displayed in a custom case—all very cool.
The second model is a mission-ready A300 Ultima Patrol Raider that will not be a limited release. The standard version keeps the Frogskin camo and bayonet mount but ships without the bayonet and case.

These include larger controls, aggressively textured grip areas, and plenty of accessory mounts.

Zooming Out
Yes, I’ve gone through this entire product launch commemorating the Marine Corps’ 250th Birthday without mentioning the link between Marines and the rising sales of Crayola products. Still, with all the respect to those who earned the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor, past and present, I wish you a Happy Birthday.
From the shores of Tripoli to the Halls of Montezuma (and I know I said it backwards; I prefer saying things in chronological order), the Beretta A300 Ultima Patrol Raider honors the history of one of the United States’ elite fighting forces.
