Overview

Designed for clay target competition, this 12-gauge semi-automatic is set up for trap, skeet, and sporting clays with a fully adjustable fit that lets the shooter tune mount, point of impact, and balance. The adjustable B-Fast comb, adjustable rib, and Balance Cap make it easier to adapt the gun to different disciplines and shooting conditions, while the Kick-Off system and Micro Core recoil pad are included to help manage recoil. Beretta pairs the platform with an anodized silver receiver, Grade 2.5 walnut stock, oversized bolt handle, and Optima HP choke system for a refined range-ready package. It is a purpose-built option for serious clay shooters who want flexibility without giving up a traditional sporting look.

Pros

  • Fully adjustable design lets you tailor mount, point of impact, and fit for different disciplines.
  • Configured for trap, skeet, and sporting clays in one semi-automatic 12 gauge platform.
  • Blink technology is described as capable of firing up to four shells in one second.

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Designed around trap, skeet, and sporting clays, so it is purpose-built for competition rather than general-purpose field use.
  • The fully adjustable stock, comb, rib, and point-of-impact setup add versatility, but they also mean more setup time to dial in the gun for your fit and discipline.
  • Its 30" barrel and competition-focused configuration may be less convenient for hunters who want a shorter, lighter, or more compact shotgun for carry and maneuvering.
  • The premium feature set places it at a higher price point, so it is best suited to buyers who will use the adjustment and recoil-management features regularly.
