Beretta has introduced the 694 Sporting Black DLC, a modernized evolution of their 694 clay-shooting platform. Developed in collaboration with the Beretta Shooting Team, this model focuses on enhancing durability and mechanical smoothness through advanced coatings and refined ergonomics.
Key Technical Specifications
The “Black DLC” model introduces several performance-driven numbers and features:
• DLC Coating: Uses Diamond-Like Carbon technology (borrowed from the DT11 and Beretta pistols) to provide superior wear resistance and reduced friction in the action.
• Steelium Pro Barrels: Features an extended forcing cone reaching up to 450mm (on a 76cm barrel), designed to reduce recoil and improve pattern density.
• Modified Top Rib: A new 10x7mm tapered profile with a tramline for faster target acquisition.
• B-Fast Balance System: Allows shooters to make micro-adjustments to the weight distribution of both the barrel and the stock.
• Materials: Constructed with a 2.5+ grade European walnut stock and a “blacked-out” receiver with acid-green accents.
