Beretta announces the last limited edition for 2026: the Beretta 694 500 Years Limited Edition 12-gauge over-and-under shotgun is a stunning tribute to 500 years of Beretta's gunmaking and enduring passion for shooting sports.
Five centuries of sporting excellence come to life in a stunning limited edition of 1,100 shotguns, each with a dedicated serial number.
The natural balance and control of the 694 are enhanced by the superior ballistic performance of Beretta Steelium Pro barrels and elevated by the exquisite elegance of an unprecedented scroll engraving with refined gold accents.
For the first time in the history of the Beretta 694 shotgun, the 500 Years Limited Edition is adorned with an exquisite scroll engraving, crafted through 5-axis laser technology to elevate the distinctive design of the receiver.
Refined gold details add a precious finishing touch: the 694 logos, the Beretta 500 Years logo on the bottom of the receiver, and the iconic swoosh that follows its signature line. The refined aesthetic of the receiver is elegantly paired with the striking natural finish of the selected Grade 3 walnut stock.
