Trompette de la mort . Впервые я попробовал черную лисичку во Франции. Если честно, я даже не знал, что такие бывают… Обычно всего этот вид лисички используют в жареных, тушёных блюдах, в супах и соусах. Из высушенной чёрной лисички готовят соусы и приправы. Мне предложили паштет из печени косули с черными лисичками и это невероятно вкусное блюдо. В Европе чёрная лисичка считается деликатесным грибом. Из-за формы и внешнего вида в Финляндии этот гриб называют чёрным рожком, в Германии — трубой мёртвых, во Франции — (Trompette de la mort) трубой смерти, а в Англии — рогом изобилия. Оказывается чёрная лисичка отлично растёт и в России и в Беларуси. Думаю, мы просто её пропускаем. И раз грибной сезон начался советую вам обратить на нее внимание.

Beretta Ultralight: Featherweight Power for Upland Bird Hunters For the upland bird hunter, every ounce counts. Hours spent traversing fields and forests demand a shotgun that won't weigh you down. Enter the Beretta Ultralight, a 12-gauge (and occasionally 20-gauge) that redefines "carry gun" without sacrificing the performance expected from a Beretta. Why the Ultralight Stands Out: Reduced Weight, Real Impact: The Ultralight achieves its name through a meticulously engineered alloy receiver. This shaves significant weight compared to steel-framed shotguns, typically bringing the overall weight to around 6.6 pounds for a 12-gauge. This translates to less fatigue during long hunts, allowing for quicker shouldering and improved accuracy. Beretta Reliability: Don't mistake lightness for fragility. The Ultralight is still a Beretta, built with the company's renowned attention to detail and durable components. The proven Beretta action ensures reliable cycling, even in demanding field conditions. Upland Optimized: The Ultralight often features classic upland configurations: a slim forend for comfortable carry, a straight English-style stock for quick pointing, and typically shorter barrel lengths (26-28 inches) for maneuverability in dense cover. Responsive Handling: The combination of reduced weight and balanced design creates a shotgun that feels incredibly lively in the hands. This responsiveness is crucial for flushing birds, enabling quick target acquisition and accurate shots. Aesthetic Appeal: Beyond performance, the Ultralight boasts classic Beretta styling. Expect tastefully engraved receivers and well-figured walnut stocks that add to the pride of ownership. Who is it for? The Beretta Ultralight is ideal for: Dedicated Upland Hunters: Those who prioritize a lightweight shotgun for all-day comfort. Hunters Covering Significant Ground: If your hunts involve extensive walking, the Ultralight will be a welcome companion. Hunters Seeking a Classic, Refined Shotgun: Appreciate the traditional look and feel of a well-crafted over-under. Things to Consider: Recoil: While manageable, the lighter weight can result in slightly more felt recoil, especially with heavier loads. Consider using appropriate loads for your target species. Price: Beretta quality comes at a price. The Ultralight is an investment, but one that delivers long-term value. Conclusion: The Beretta Ultralight is more than just a lightweight shotgun; it's a carefully engineered tool designed to enhance the upland bird hunting experience. Its combination of weight reduction, Beretta reliability, and responsive handling makes it a top choice for hunters who demand the best. If you value comfort and performance in the field, the Ultralight deserves serious consideration. https://m.uh.app/news/finding-your-perfect-beretta-shotgun-the-hunters-guide-to-the-best_UkVv8O3EEe-tm0W5Zik9PQ

Beretta SL3 Shotgun Review: Where Elegance Meets Elite Field Performance The Beretta SL3 is a premium over-under shotgun that masterfully blends traditional Italian craftsmanship with modern engineering. Designed for both field hunters and competitive clay shooters, the SL3 is part of Beretta’s Premium Gun line and represents a new standard in luxury shotguns. It’s not just a beautiful firearm—it’s built to perform under demanding conditions, offering reliability, precision, and style in equal measure. --- 🎨 Design & Craftsmanship Handcrafted in Gardone Val Trompia, Italy, the SL3 is assembled by Beretta’s most experienced gunsmiths in the Premium division. Every detail reflects Beretta’s centuries-old heritage: • The receiver features a sleek, sculpted profile that improves target acquisition and handling. • Buyers can choose from several engraving styles:• Deep Floral Scroll in Renaissance style • Game Scene engravings depicting pheasants, ducks, or partridge • English Fine Scroll for a classic look • Mirror Polished finish, which requires over 80 hours of hand polishing • The stock is made from high-grade walnut, finished with a matte oil treatment. Configurations include a pistol grip or straight English-style stock. • Each SL3 comes in a custom leather and canvas case, handcrafted by Beretta’s Gun Case Atelier. This level of artistry makes the SL3 not only a tool for sport but also a collector’s piece. --- ⚙️ Technical Specifications The Beretta SL3 is built around a boxlock action with sideplates, offering the visual appeal of a sidelock without the complexity. It features a robust three-point locking system that includes hinge pins, lower hooks, and locking pins. This design ensures long-term durability and consistent performance, even after thousands of rounds. The trigger mechanism is based on a hammer leaf spring system with an inertia trigger, providing a crisp and reliable pull. The ejectors are derived from Beretta’s flagship SO10 model, known for their strength and ease of maintenance. Barrels are made from Beretta’s proprietary Steelium® tri-alloy steel (Nickel, Chromium, Molybdenum), which undergoes deep drilling, cold hammer forging, and vacuum distension. This process results in barrels that offer superior ballistic performance and durability. Barrel lengths available include 28”, 30”, and 32”, depending on the model and customization. All barrels are proofed for steel shot and feature Beretta’s Optima Bore HP profile, which enhances shot patterning and reduces recoil. The SL3 weighs approximately 7.11 to 7.14 pounds, depending on gauge and barrel length, offering a balanced feel that’s ideal for both hunting and sport shooting. --- 🔫 Calibers & Barrel Options The Beretta SL3 is available in four calibers: • 12 gauge • 20 gauge • 28 gauge • .410 bore Each gauge offers different barrel length options, typically 28”, 30”, and 32”. The 12 and 20 gauge models are chambered for 3” (76mm) shells, making them suitable for magnum loads and steel shot. The smaller gauges (.410 and 28) are ideal for upland game and precision shooting. --- 🔒 Locking System & Firing Mechanism The SL3’s locking system is one of its standout features. The three-point locking design ensures tight lock-up and longevity, even after extensive use. Beretta has tested the SL3 to withstand over 11,500 magnum rounds without degradation in performance. The trigger is competition-grade, offering a clean break at approximately 4.5 pounds. It’s inspired by the trigger system found in Beretta’s DT11, a favorite among professional clay shooters. The safety is automatic and includes a barrel selector toggle, allowing shooters to choose which barrel fires first. --- 🧰 Chokes & Accessories Beretta SL3 Shotgun Each SL3 comes equipped with five flush-fit Optima Bore HP chokes: • Cylinder • Improved Cylinder • Modified • Improved Modified • Full These chokes are compatible with steel shot and provide excellent patterning across a range of shooting scenarios. A choke wrench is included for easy installation and removal. Optional accessories include: • Extended chokes (up to 50mm) • Custom-fitted stocks • Recoil pads • Shell holders • Cheek risers The SL3 also comes with a premium presentation case, a cleaning kit pouch, and Beretta’s certificate of authenticity. --- 🦆 Hunting & Sporting Applications The Beretta SL3 is engineered for versatility. Its balance, recoil management, and reliability make it suitable for: • Upland bird hunting (pheasant, partridge, quail) • Waterfowl hunting (ducks, geese) • Clay shooting disciplines (trap, skeet, sporting clays) • Driven shoots and big game bird hunts in Europe and South America Its steel shot compatibility and magnum chambering make it a practical choice for modern hunting regulations, while its refined aesthetics appeal to traditionalists. --- 💰 Price Range & Value The Beretta SL3 is a premium firearm, and its price reflects its craftsmanship and performance: • Brand new models typically range from $17,000 to $28,000 USD, depending on engraving and customization. • Like-new models (98% condition) are valued around $14,875. • Used models in 95% condition can be found for approximately $12,750. Special editions, such as the SL3 Da Vinci or SL3 Tutankhamon, may exceed $30,000 due to their unique engravings and limited production. The Beretta SL3 is more than just a shotgun—it’s a statement of excellence. Whether you’re a seasoned hunter, a competitive clay shooter, or a collector of fine firearms, the SL3 offers a rare combination of beauty, performance, and heritage. It’s built to last, engineered to perform, and designed to impress. If you’re looking for a shotgun that can handle the rigors of the field while turning heads at the range, the Beretta SL3 is a worthy investment. It’s not just a tool—it’s an heirloom in the making.
