Frequently asked questions

Can the Beretta 694 Sporting use 12/70 cartridges?

Yes. Its 76 mm chamber accepts both 12/70 and 12/76 cartridges. Ammunition and choke selection must always follow the markings and instructions supplied with the firearm, choke tubes and cartridges.

Does this model have an adjustable stock?

This version has a fixed pistol-grip stock with a 35/50 mm drop. The trigger position can be adjusted, but the stock does not have a B-Fast adjustable comb.

Are interchangeable chokes included?

Yes. The shotgun is supplied with five extended Optima-Choke HP tubes marked 2–3–4–5–6. They allow the pattern to be adapted to different targets and shooting distances.

What is the difference between the 76 and 81 cm Beretta 694 Sporting models?

The 81 cm barrels generally provide a smoother and more deliberate swing, particularly on long crossing targets. The 76 cm version changes direction more easily and may feel more responsive on close or sharply changing presentations.

When is the Beretta 694 Sporting 81 cm the right choice?

This model suits sporting-clay shooters who want a steady and controlled swing. The 81 cm barrels help maintain smooth movement on long crossers and distant target lines.

For courses dominated by close, fast or sharply changing targets, the 76 cm version may feel easier to redirect. Shooters who require an adjustable comb should consider a model equipped with a B-Fast stock.

Expert recommendation

The main strength of the Beretta 694 Sporting with 81 cm barrels is its smooth handling. The longer barrel set can help prevent the shooter from stopping the gun and suits a technique based on following the target with an even movement. However, it may not be the best option for someone who prefers an exceptionally fast and lightweight shotgun.

Before purchasing, shoulder the shotgun while wearing the same shooting vest and clothing normally used at the range. The fixed 35/50 mm stock dimensions suit many shooters, but eye alignment above the rib must feel natural and remain repeatable. Try several 24 g and 28 g competition cartridges and check their patterns with suitable choke tubes. With high-volume use, clean the chambers, choke threads, hinge and locking surfaces regularly.

Controlled movement for sporting clays

The Beretta 694 Sporting combines 81 cm Steelium Plus barrels, adjustable trigger positioning and interchangeable OCHP chokes in a competition-focused platform. It is a suitable choice for shooters who value a steady swing on long targets and want a shotgun designed specifically for sporting clays.
