Beretta 694 Sporting Adjustable 12ga 30"
Product Description
The Beretta 694 Sporting is an over-and-under shotgun meticulously engineered for competitive shooting disciplines like clay target shooting and sporting clays. Developed in close collaboration with the Beretta Shooting Team, this platform is designed to significantly enhance a shooter's performance through its precise mechanical and ergonomic design. The result is a perfectly balanced firearm that feels natural to shoulder, offers a precise swing, and is easy to control, helping you achieve consistent results on the range. This model is available in various configurations, including options for both right and left-handed shooters.
Featuring an innovative action and stock design, the 694 Sporting provides an increased field of vision, allowing shooters to maintain their line of sight without obstruction. The advanced fore-end iron system ensures a consistent opening load over time, contributing to the shotgun's reliable performance. Equipped with Beretta's renowned Steelium Plus barrels, the 694 Sporting guarantees dense, uniform patterns with every shot. Its slim, modern aesthetic gives it a distinctive "racing" feel, embodying a bold and winning presence on the range.
| Feature | Benefit/Description |
|---|---|
| Optimised Ergonomics | Redesigned stock with a widened blade and comb, a lengthened pistol grip with palm swell for maximum comfort and stable hand positioning. Available with a fixed or B-Fast adjustable stock, allowing for the addition of 20gm and 40gm weights (purchased separately) to personalise the shotgun's balance. |
| Enhanced Vision | New action and stock shape reduce obstacles in the field of view, helping shooters maintain their line of sight for improved accuracy. |
| Advanced Barrel Technology | Features Steelium Plus barrels with an elongated progressive triple cone profile, delivering superior ballistic performance, denser patterns, quicker second shots, and reduced perceived muzzle jump. |
| Optima Choke HP System | The sporting version includes a set of five Optima Choke High Performance chokes for versatile pattern control, adapting to various shooting scenarios. |
| Precision Trigger | Three-position adjustable trigger group for a customised feel and response, allowing fine-tuning to individual preferences. |
| Durable Construction | Newly designed steel action with a modern sporting look, Nistan finishing, and a classic Beretta closing system for long-lasting reliability. An approximate 25gm increase in weight further improves stability and balance. |
| User-Friendly Controls | Low-profile, anti-glare steel top lever and an ergonomic firing selector, designed for ease of operation for both right and left-handed shooters. |
The ergonomics of the stock have been completely redesigned to offer an ideal configuration for various shooting disciplines. The action is seamlessly bedded into the stock with progressive grooves, which minimises visual obstructions when shouldering the gun. This crucial improvement helps prevent shooters from lifting their head from the line of sight, a common cause of missed shots.
The sporting stock features a 1.5 pitch checkering and an increased surface area for the best possible grip. The 2.5+ grade wooden components are treated with natural oil for enhanced water resistance. The new steel fore-end iron system improves the opening sensation, thanks to redesigned geometry and a journal fitted with a replaceable latch, allowing authorised gunsmiths to maintain the preferred loading configuration. The fore-end coupling system now includes a piston-operated stud in an advanced position, separate from the fore-end iron, and a self-regulating auget button.
Metallic surfaces prone to overheating during continuous use have been significantly reduced, enhancing shooter comfort. The newly designed steel action boasts a contemporary sporting appearance, with side panels featuring a mirrored profile and diagonal lines highlighted by a blue graphic design. The action's bottom is adorned with Beretta's iconic three arrows and the 694 logo in blue, complemented by a Nistan finishing for a typical matte grey colour. The shotgun incorporates the classic Beretta closing system, featuring trapezoidal shoulders and two robust pins that extend from the breech face into their respective housings, alongside two hinged studs at the front of the action.
The trigger group includes a three-position adjustable trigger and a fixed lock supported by two robust coil springs mounted on spring guides. The firing selector, exclusive to the sporting version, is integrated within the safety lever, which features new checkering and improved ergonomics. The steel top lever has a new low profile and an anti-glare finish, engineered for ergonomic and easy operation by both right and left-handed shooters. Newly designed ejectors are fitted with powerful springs positioned behind the ejector slide and under the stop pads.
Steelium is Beretta's unique barrel production technology, transforming tri-alloy steel into a ballistic masterpiece. Through deep drilling, cold hammer forging, and vacuum distension, the steel achieves mechanical characteristics essential for superior ballistic performance. The Steelium Plus barrels feature an internal tube profile with a highly elongated progressive triple cone that varies with barrel length, extending up to 300mm from the muzzle. This design offers several advantages:
- More dense and uniform patterns with very high penetration and target hitting performance.
- Quicker and more accurate second shot capability.
- Significant reduction in perceived muzzle jump.
The barrels are assembled as a monoblock with internal chrome plating. While trap versions feature fixed chokes, the sporting version is equipped with a set of five Optima Choke High Performance chokes. The sporting version barrels are 76mm chambered.
Although the 694 is factory-balanced, discerning shooters can further customise its configuration using the optional B-Fast Balancing System. The 694 barrels are designed to accommodate a system of 15gm, 10gm, and 5gm weights, which can be placed in five available slots at the muzzle and under the fore-end (weights sold separately). This fitting system on the lateral rib openings distributes weight along the barrel's entire length, improving the shotgun's swing and reducing muzzle jump without generating noise or vibrations. Their design ensures a perfect fit with the lateral ribs, preventing loss or obstruction of visibility. B-Fast stocks are also designed to accommodate a series of 20gm and 40gm weights, available for separate purchase.
The top rib is ventilated with a 10x8 profile on the sporting version and features a white front sight. Both versions include ventilated side ribs.

- Alternative 23mm MicroCore pad
- Set of 5 chokes with wrench (for the sporting version only)
