The 30 in barrel set is made from Excelsior H.S.A. Steel with a ventilated rib and Optima-Bore HP 18.6 mm bores. Chambers are 3 in, ejectors are properly timed, and the muzzle wears a single front bead. This example carries the CIP fleur-de-lis steel-shot proof and the IT24 Italian date code for 2024.
The action is the proven low-profile 680-series boxlock with dual conical locking lugs. Controls include a single trigger and a tang-mounted safety with integrated barrel selector. The receiver is steel with a silver/nickel-colored finish and factory floral scroll engraving featuring the Beretta name and tri-arrow crest.
Stocked in checkered walnut, the Field configuration uses a pistol-grip with a neutral feel and slight right-hand cast-off. A new Kick-Eez recoil pad sets the length of pull at 15.5 in. The gun balances as a 12-gauge field over/under with a two-round capacity.
Chokes are Beretta Optima-Choke HP flush tubes in CL, IC, and IM, with steel-shot suitability markings. The gun was manufactured in Italy and imported by Beretta USA, Accokeek, MD.
