Beretta 692 Sport with Adjustable Stock. 

Beretta 692 Sporting

The Beretta 692 is a totally new shotgun specifically designed to provide enhanced performance in competition shooting. It's the successful mix of tradition and technology, to provide better ballistics and ergonomics, together with the elegant design that makes this shotgun absolutely outstanding. Equally outstanding is the new look, in a perfect family-feeling with DT11. The 692 also benefits from an:

Elegant Wider Receiver

A competition O/U should have as much weight as possible in the receiver area, to provide higher stability before and after each shot. The receiver of the new Beretta 692 Sporter is wider than the 682 one. The final result is a segmentation which results in better shouldering and faster target acquisition. The receiver has been finished with a shiny polished profile on both the side plates and underside. This is then combined with outstanding black/gold engravings.

Soft Touch Opening Lever The Beretta 692 features a brand new opening lever, for the first time ever, is over molded with a soft-touch polymeric insert to give amazing “touch & feel” and grip. Steelium Plus Barrels

Every Beretta barrel has a 3-part internal geometry: cylindric (chamber), conic and again cylindric. The length of the conic part has a strong impact on the performance of the barrel. At the beginning of the Steelium era, all the competition barrels had a similar profile (conic part ~ 65mm for a 76cm barrel). More recently, with the development of the new DT11, Steelium Pro defined a new standard for the competition barrels, lengthening the conic part to 480mm (76cm barrel). The Steelium Plus is the latest and final step in the Steelium segmentation, providing a significant improvement against the original 682 barrels. The Steelium Plus barrel provides a 5.5x longer conic profile than the 682 Steelium barrel, thus ensuring a significant improvement of the performance.

B-FAST Comb

Standing for “Beretta Fast Adjustment System Technology”, BFAST is a system combining modular adjusting devices specifically designed for Beretta shotguns. Developed for the new Beretta DT11, the B-FAST system includes a strong adjustable comb device that improves dramatically on the previous memory system. Made of steel and aluminum, the B-FAST allows easy and reliable adjustment, together with the memory feature of the colored polymeric wads. Stronger, Easier to set & More adjustable.

Used Zeiss Victory Diarange Riflescope - 2.5–10x50 T* The premium riflescope with integrated laser-rangefinder - Price also includes claw mounts.  Innovative high performance The Victory Diarange models combine the features of a premium riflescope with the innovative technology of a laser rangefinder: Sighting, measuring and aiming merge into a single process. The distance measurement gives you the distance from your target accurately and extremely quickly. This information, so vital for long-range shooting, can be used to set the bullet drop compensator, which is particularly useful for bullet drop compensation over longer distances. This guarantees successful hunting even under extreme conditions. The Victory Diarange riflescopes are unique thanks to their technology and high performance optics and represent the expertise of Carl Zeiss.
