Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 694 Skeet differ from the 694 Sporting?

The Skeet version has shorter 740 mm barrels for faster handling and rapid transitions between crossing targets. The Sporting version is available with longer barrels and is designed for a wider variety of target distances and presentations.

What can be adjusted with the B-Fast stock?

The B-Fast system allows the comb height, cast and rotation to be adjusted. This helps the shooter achieve consistent eye alignment and cheek contact.

Does the trigger include a barrel selector?

No. The 694 Skeet uses an adjustable single trigger without the barrel selector found on the Sporting version.

Can the shotgun use 12/70 cartridges?

Yes. Its 76 mm chambers accept suitable 12/70 and 12/76 cartridges. Ammunition must comply with the shooting discipline’s rules and be compatible with the fitted chokes.

When is the Beretta 694 Skeet the right choice?

The 694 Skeet is best suited to shooters who mainly practise skeet and need a responsive shotgun for rapid changes in direction. Its 740 mm barrels are easier to start and redirect than longer sporting barrels, while the 3.6 kg weight helps maintain control through doubles and repeated shots.

For sporting clays or Compak Sporting, where target distance and presentation vary considerably, a 694 Sporting with longer barrels may be more versatile. Trap shooters should consider a dedicated Trap version with stock dimensions, rib and barrel configuration designed for rising targets.

Expert recommendation

Correct stock adjustment is particularly important in skeet, where targets appear quickly and there is little time to correct an inconsistent mount. Set the B-Fast comb so that the eye naturally follows the rib without excessive cheek pressure. Make one adjustment at a time and record the final settings.

The 740 mm barrels provide responsive handling, but the shooter should avoid moving the gun only with the arms. A controlled turn from the upper body usually provides a smoother and more repeatable movement. Test the shotgun with the skeet cartridges and chokes intended for competition. Different loads can affect recoil, timing and pattern density even when their specifications appear similar.

Purpose-built for fast skeet targets

The Beretta 694 Skeet combines responsive 740 mm barrels, an adjustable B-Fast stock and the stable 694 receiver in a dedicated skeet platform. It is a strong choice for shooters who value a consistent mount, quick handling and reliable performance during intensive training and competition.
