That's not a very good picture. A Beretta 694 maybe?

Because I took a picture from my television screen. Definitely not a 694. His gun does have a Beretta sticker on the barrels. But those funky lines are nothing like a 694. I sometimes see the occasional shooter using a 694 and its mostly ISSF Juniors or ISSF Womens.

I figured it out. It's a Beretta SL 2. Really funky looking shotgun.

Thats one hell of an incredibly ugly gun.
Just my 2 cents…..

Beretta USA doesn't list the SL-2 on their website but it's often months behind getting updated anyway.
Interesting that the SL-2 uses a Boss style lockup instead of the twin pin system on the 680/690 series or even the cross bolt lockup used on the So series guns, this may be a first for Beretta.

It certainly doesn't appeal to my sense of taste either.

I thought it looks okay. It definitely caught my eye immediately that it was something totally different than the typical DT-11 or Perazzi. It is way more expensive than a DT-11 at $30,000 USD. The guy who was shooting it, Maruo De Filippis, won Gold in the mens trap finals. Today is the Skeet finals so going to watch it tonight.

To be fair, they're only four brands of shotguns you will see in the ISSF and three of those brands are Italian. Beretta and Perazzi make up the majority of the shotguns then the occasional Kerighoff, and the very occasional Zoli.

I’d venture a guess that Mauro would have won gold regardless of what gun he was shooting. I wouldn’t attribute his success to the tool he chose to use.

Kind of looks like the bastard love child of a Browning Cynergy and a Benelli U828....
Funny, thats was my exact thought as well!!
LOL! I thought this as well.Kind of looks like the bastard love child of a Browning Cynergy and a Benelli U828....
I actually think it looks pretty elegant. I appreciate gun manufacturers who are innovating. Us old dudes with our old-timey preferences are probably not driving the market right now.
I actually really kind of like the carbon fibre stocked one, it’s a pretty decent take on a more modern styled over under. Still prefer blueing and walnut though but still cool to see a such a high quality shotgun break from tradition a bit

I have to add another brand as I watched the ISSF mixed Skeet Team today and saw a British woman using a Caesar Guerini Invictus.
