Designed and tested in collaboration with the Beretta Shooting Team, the Beretta 694 is a new over-and-under platform specifically engineered for competition shooting. Its primary objective is to help shooters increase their success rate on the range.

Through meticulous mechanical and ergonomic design, the 694 represents a perfectly balanced competition shotgun. It offers natural and immediate shouldering, a precise swing, and is easy to control. The slim, modern design provides a dynamic, winning look.

• Enhanced Field of Vision: The new shape of the action and stock provides an increased field of vision, reducing obstacles when shouldering the gun and helping shooters maintain their line of sight.
• Redesigned Stock: The sporting version features a completely redesigned stock with a widened blade and comb, plus a lengthened pistol grip with palm swell for maximum comfort and stable hand positioning. Available with a fixed or B-Fast adjustable stock.
• Superior Grip: 1.5 pitch checkering and an increased surface area ensure the best possible grip.
• Water-Resistant Wood: The 2.5+ grade wooden components are treated with natural oil, for increased water resistance.
• Customisable Balance: Optional 20gm and 40gm weights can be added inside the stock to personalise the shotgun's balance (weights purchased separately).
• Improved Forend Iron System: Redesigned geometry and a journal with a replaceable latch allow users to maintain a constant opening load over time.
• Advanced Forend Coupling: Features a piston-operated stud in an advanced position, separate from the forend iron, and a self-regulating auget button.
• Reduced Overheating: Metallic surfaces subject to overheating during continuous use have been drastically reduced for shooter comfort.
• Modern Steel Action: Newly designed steel action with a modern, sporting look, mirrored side panels, diagonal lines with a blue graphic design, and Nistan finishing for a typical matte grey colour.
• Increased Stability: The action's weight has been increased by approximately 25gm, further improving stability and balance.
• Classic Beretta Closing System: Features trapezoidal shoulders and two rugged pins that protrude from the breech face and are inserted into their respective housings on the sides of the breech, while the front part of the action is fitted with two hinged studs that are inserted into the respective housings on the monoblock.
• Adjustable Trigger: The trigger group features a three-position adjustable trigger.
• Ergonomic Safety Lever: The firing selector, present on the sporting version only, is located inside the safety lever that features new checkering and ergonomics.
• Low Profile Top Lever: Steel top lever features a new, low profile and an anti-glare finish, designed to be ergonomic and easy to operate for both right and left-handed shooters.
• Powerful Ejectors: 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, which enables Beretta tri-alloy steel to become a true ballistic gem. Deep drilling, cold hammer forging, and vacuum distension provide the steel with mechanical characteristics that are ideal when superior ballistic performance has to be achieved.

The Steelium Plus barrels boast an internal tube profile with a highly elongated progressive triple cone that varies with the length of the barrel, reaching as far as 300mm from the muzzle. This technology offers several advantages:

• More dense and uniform patterns with very high penetration and target hitting performance.
• Quicker and more accurate second shots.
• Reduction in perceived muzzle jump.

The barrels are assembled as a monoblock with internal chrome plating. The sporting version is equipped with a set of 5 Optima Choke High Performance chokes and is 76mm chambered.

While the 694 is already perfectly balanced when it leaves the factory, more demanding shooters may use the optional B-Fast Balancing System to customise the configuration to suit their needs. The 694 barrels are designed to accommodate a system of 15gm, 10gm, and 5gm weights that can be positioned in the five available slots in the muzzle and under the forend (the weights may be purchased separately).

Thanks to the fitting system on the lateral rib openings, the weight is distributed along the whole length of the barrel, improving the shotgun's swing and reducing muzzle jump but without causing any noise or vibrations during the shot. In addition, their design has been developed to perfectly fit the lateral ribs, ensuring there is no risk of them being lost or visibility being impeded. The B-Fast stocks are also designed to accommodate a series of 20gm and 40gm weights, which may be purchased separately.

The sporting version features a 10x8 profile ventilated top rib with a white front sight, and both versions include ventilated side ribs.
