This Marine variant applies Beretta’s Aqua-Tech treatment in a matte silver finish to both receiver and barrel for enhanced corrosion resistance, matched to a black synthetic stock and forend. The aluminum alloy receiver keeps weight down, while the steel barrel is threaded for Optima-Bore HP chokes to support choke use as needed.
