Beretta SL3 12ga 30" Fine Scroll
Product Description
The Beretta SL3 12ga 30" Fine Scroll shotgun offers a blend of refined design and exceptional performance, establishing itself as a premium field shotgun for discerning enthusiasts. This Beretta SL3 model is meticulously crafted to enhance both beauty and functionality, making it an ideal choice for hunting and sporting pursuits. The SL3 Beretta is also notable as the first model to include a dedicated, handmade case from the PB Custom Atelier.
Exquisite Design and Aesthetics
The Beretta SL3 features a unique sliding profile that not only offers a distinctive look but also facilitates swift target acquisition. The receiver boasts a rounded and fluid design, complemented by a unique top lever shape and a newly designed trigger guard, all contributing to graceful aesthetics and improved handling. The gun's balance is frequently praised, aiding fluid movement in the field. The stock and forend are crafted from high-quality burl walnut, hand-selected for its density, lack of imperfections, and aesthetic beauty, then finished with a natural oil.
Fine Scroll Engraving
The "Fine Scroll" engraving is a key highlight, offering a traditional and elegant aesthetic. This detailed engraving is created using a 5-axis laser system, ensuring continuity of the pattern even on rounded surfaces. While this model features the classic Fine Scroll, the SL3 is fully customisable upon request, with options including modern floral motifs, dedicated engravings based on calibres, or a mirror-polished finish for a contemporary look that emphasises its innovative design.
Advanced Technical Features
At the heart of the Beretta SL3 lies a new, elegant, and highly reliable boxlock action system, engineered for consistent performance and intensive use. It incorporates a unique action/barrel locking system where the barrels are anchored at three points, hinge pins, lower hooks, and locking pins, for increased robustness and rigidity. Fast, crisp trigger pulls are achieved through hammer leaf springs, similar to those found in Beretta's competition shotguns. The newly designed ejectors are noted for their reliability and ease of inspection and cleaning. The shotgun utilises Beretta's exclusive Optima Bore HP barrels, crafted from a tri-alloy Beretta Steel (Nickel, Chromium, Molybdenum) through deep drilling, cold hammering, and vacuum distension. This barrel profile is designed to deliver excellent patterns with various shot types, including lead, steel, and other alternatives, ensuring versatility for different hunting and sporting scenarios. The SL3 platform is rigorously engineered for durability, having undergone validation testing with over 11,500 magnum cartridges without issues.
Dedicated Handmade Case
The Beretta SL3 comes with a dedicated, handmade premium case from the Pietro Beretta Gun Case Atelier. This case perfectly complements the shotgun's design, featuring a closure with the iconic Pietro Beretta shield, highlighting the company’s artisan heritage. The exterior is crafted from blue cotton canvas, with a contrasting burgundy red internal lining and handmade leather details, including the stitching. The internal equipment is completed by a leather pouch containing a shotgun cleaning toolkit, ensuring your SL3 is always well-maintained.
