Why the Beretta 688 Performance Sporting Dominates the Range

B-Fast Balancing System – Fine-Tune Your Feel
Beretta’s B-Fast system lets you dial in stock and barrel weights to match your shooting style. Whether you like a faster swing or more muzzle control, this shotgun adjusts to you—not the other way around.

Steelium Barrels – Pattern Like a Pro
The 688 features Beretta’s proven Steelium barrel technology for tight, consistent shot patterns and reduced recoil. These barrels are cold hammer-forged to last—and they’re deadly accurate straight out of the box.

Adjustable Comb – Your Sight Picture, Perfected
Get your eye exactly where it needs to be with the fully adjustable comb. Consistent cheek weld and alignment mean better shot-to-shot performance and more targets crushed.

Low-Profile Receiver – Faster Target Acquisition
Beretta’s iconic low-profile action keeps your head low and your mount tight. The result? A natural sight plane that gets you on target faster with less fatigue after long days of shooting.

Competition-Grade Build – No Fluff, Just Performance
 From the extended Optima-Choke HP tubes to the crisp, responsive trigger, every inch of the 688 is built to perform under pressure. It’s a shotgun that’s as serious about sporting clays as you are.
