Description
The new Beretta 694 has arrived and what a great gun Beretta have created. The newly designed, steel action has a modern, sporting look, and features side panels with a mirrored profile and diagonal lines underlined by a blue graphic design. The bottom of the action is decorated with Beretta’s three arrows and 694 logo, again in blue, while the Nistan finishing lends it the typical matte grey colour. Steelium Plus barrels fitted with Optima HP extended chokes not only deliver soft recoil but also excellent pattern formation leading to great breaks even at long range. There is more weight in the barrels (compared to a 692 or DT11) which makes this gun handle very well with a steadier swing compared to the 692/DT11. The barrels are prepared for the magnetic barrel weights from the Black Edition range of guns to add even more weight up front if required (this is an optional extra). The stock has been re-profiled around the action and has a deeper pistol grip than a 692 and a comfortable palm swell too – it also has the Beretta factory adjustable comb too which allows the user to adjust the height and cast of the stock to suit their individual needs.. The stock has the B-Fast balance weight system fitted – the gun is balanced to perfection from the factory. The steel forend is heavier than on previous models and has a new easy operating method for fast removal.
This is a great looking and handling gun that will be perfect for shooting English Sporting whatever level you are at. The overall weight will help reduce recoil, the extra barrel weight will help control the swing on longer range shots but at the same time the handling is lively enough to comfortably cope with closer and faster targets if required.
We actually sold the gun in November 2019 but since then it has been used very little – it has fired less than 250 cartridges. The condition is excellent. It comes cased with a set of 5 extended Optima H.P chokes and 12 months warranty.
Part exchange welcome.
