Introducing the Beretta 694 Over-and-Under Shotgun
The Beretta 694 is the ultimate competition over-and-under shotgun, meticulously engineered from the ground up to help serious clay target shooters gain a competitive edge. It is not an evolution of a previous model, but a complete redesign—a specialized tool crafted to deliver perfect balance, intuitive handling, and uncompromising reliability on the sporting clays, trap, and skeet fields. For shooters in Canada who are ready to step into a premium competition gun, the 694 represents the perfect marriage of advanced technology and Beretta’s centuries of gun-making expertise.
Performance Designed by Champions
Every feature of the 694 is focused on improving the shooter’s performance, providing consistency and enhancing the ability to stay focused on the target.
- Ergonomics for a Wider Field of View: Beretta designed a new stock-to-action bedding system with progressive grooves that cleverly reduce the visual obstruction when the gun is mounted. This seemingly small detail significantly increases the shooter’s peripheral field of vision, helping to spot those crucial incoming or transitioning targets faster.
- Steelium Plus Barrels: The 694 features Beretta’s premium Steelium Plus barrels, which boast an elongated, progressive triple forcing cone. This internal geometry is a key component of the gun’s ballistic superiority, ensuring reduced shot deformation, which in turn leads to denser, more uniform patterns with high target-breaking performance. This also helps reduce perceived muzzle jump, allowing for a quicker and more accurate second shot.
- Precision Weight Balancing (B-Fast System): For ultimate customization, the 694 incorporates the B-Fast system. The barrels are designed with slots to accommodate optional weights, and the adjustable stock (available on some models) can also accept internal weights. This allows the shooter to perfectly tune the gun’s balance and swing dynamics to their exact preference, ensuring a smooth, consistent movement on every target.
- Enhanced Stock and Action Design: The stock has been completely redesigned with a widened blade, a comfortable comb, and a lengthened pistol grip with a palm swell. This ensures an extremely natural and stable hand position for maximum comfort and control over long competition days. The steel receiver has a modern, lowered profile opening lever and an anti-glare finish, minimizing distraction in bright light.
The Perfect Tool for the Clay Shooter
Filling the gap between the popular 680 series and the flagship DT11, the Beretta 694 offers a performance level that punches far above its price point. It’s a dedicated competition gun built to withstand the rigorous demands of shooting thousands of rounds a year. Its robust, redesigned steel forend iron system and proven Beretta locking mechanism ensure the gun remains tight and reliable over its long lifespan.
If you are a competitive shooter looking for a perfectly balanced, highly customizable, and ergonomically superior over-and-under to elevate your game, the Beretta 694 is a must-have.
