BERETTA 694 SPORTING DLC BLACK 12 GAUGE

The Beretta 694 Sporting DLC Black is a refined evolution of Beretta’s premier competition shotgun, designed for clay shooters who demand consistency, durability, and modern performance. Developed in collaboration with the Beretta Shooting Team, this exclusive blacked-out variant pairs the proven balance and reliability of the 694 platform with a rugged Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) finish on the receiver and trigger. The DLC coating enhances corrosion resistance, reduces wear, and promotes smoother mechanical operation, making the shotgun well suited for high-volume shooting in all conditions. A modified tapered top rib with an integrated tram line supports fast, natural target acquisition, while the trusted Beretta 694 action delivers the dependable lockup and longevity competitive shooters expect as they chase perfect rounds and podium finishes.

At the heart of the Beretta 694 Sporting Black DLC are the Steelium® Pro barrels, derived from the flagship DT11 and crafted from tri-alloy steel using Beretta’s signature manufacturing process. Featuring an extended triple forcing cone up to 450mm on a 76cm barrel, these barrels reduce recoil, improve shot uniformity, and maintain consistent patterns across lead, steel, and HP steel ammunition. The B-Fast® Balance System allows precise tuning of weight distribution to suit individual swing dynamics, complemented by a redesigned forend catch for improved handling. Finished with a gloss European grade 2.5+ walnut stock accented by bold acid green details, the Beretta 694 Sporting DLC Black combines race-inspired aesthetics with elite-level performance for shooters who want a competition shotgun that is faster than clays and built to last over time.
