Before you buy
- Check the floral engraving, mirror sideplates and anniversary inscription against the edition description.1, 9
- Check that the edition number fits the serial format Beretta gives.13
- Read the chamber mark on the barrel side: in 2022 Beretta listed Trap and Skeet guns with 70 mm chambers and Sporting guns with 76 mm.14, 7, 11, 12
- Check the choke arrangement on the barrels in front of you: Sporting and Skeet guns have extended Optima-Choke HP tubes, and Trap guns have fixed chokes.5
- Match replacement tubes to the Beretta choke family marked on the gun; threads and dimensions differ between systems.19
- Ask a gunsmith to check the crossbolt, which can be replaced when worn.4
