SL2

The SL2’s variation of the Beretta SO10 Boss-type locking system ensures exceptional strength and stability. By positioning the locking lug at the same height as the hinge pin, the forces generated during firing are perfectly aligned with the pivot point. This reduces stress on the action, minimises wear, and maintains a tight lock-up over time.

Additionally, the monobloc’s engagement with the action base adds a second point of contact, reinforcing durability and ensuring consistent alignment shot after shot. The result? A shotgun that stays precise, reliable, and competition-ready for years to come.

The SL2 features a detachable trigger group, allowing for quick replacement and easy maintenance – ideal for competitive environments where reliability is key. Precision-engineered leaf springs deliver a consistently clean and responsive trigger pull. For those seeking enhanced performance and reduced weight, a carbon fibre trigger group is available separately, offering advanced durability and a refined, modern aesthetic.

Thanks to its lower Boss-type locking system, the SL2 features a refined receiver design that improves both form and function. By thinning the receiver head, shooters benefit from a wider field of view, while the enlarged base and lowered centre of gravity align more closely with the hinge pins. These enhancements deliver a smoother swing, improved stability, and noticeably reduced recoil – giving you greater control and comfort with every shot.

The SL2 is equipped with Steelium® Pro X barrels, the latest evolution of Beretta’s renowned barrel technology. Developed in collaboration with professional shooters, this innovative barrel profile features an elongated choke section for superior terminal energy, reduced recoil, and optimised shot patterns. Whether using lead or steel, the SL2 delivers exceptional consistency and control, setting a new benchmark in ballistic performance.

At the heart of the SL2 lies Beretta’s Steelium® barrel technology, the result of centuries of expertise and innovation. Crafted from exclusive tri-alloy steel (Ni, Cr, Mo) and refined through deep drilling, cold hammer forging, and vacuum distension, these barrels feature a progressive internal profile with extended forcing cones. The result? Smoother shots, reduced muzzle rise, and exceptionally uniform patterns – delivering consistent performance with any type of ammunition.

As part of the PB Selection, every barrel undergoes meticulous hand-polishing by Beretta’s master Italian gunsmiths, ensuring a flawless finish and exceptional attention to detail.

The SL2’s Steelium® Pro X barrels are paired with the new Optimachoke® XP (OCXP®) chokes, designed for even smoother shooting and enhanced ballistic efficiency. Measuring 90 mm – a full 20 mm longer than the previous Optimachoke® HP – they deliver tighter, more consistent patterns and improved recoil management.

To ensure safety and precision, the OCXP® chokes feature a redesigned cylinder profile, preventing incorrect assembly with earlier choke models. This thoughtful engineering guarantees perfect compatibility, maximum performance, and peace of mind for every shot.

Barrel performance is about precision engineering that enhances every shot. The SL2’s smaller diameter forcing cone boosts terminal energy, helping pellets hit harder while reducing felt recoil and improving fibre wad efficiency. Its advanced design delivers dense, consistent shot patterns by optimising pellet distribution and velocity – not just on paper, but in real-world conditions. With reduced muzzle flip and smoother handling, the SL2 offers recoil control you can feel, giving you confidence across every discipline.

From performance upgrades to personalised finishes, the SL2 offers a wide range of customisable features to suit your style and shooting needs. You can opt for a made-to-measure stock and forend, shaped precisely to your dimensions for optimal comfort and control. Choose your preferred oil finish – natural, glossy, or Tru-Oil® – and add custom checkering for a distinctive touch. Enhance the look with a Class 5 walnut upgrade, and select from barrel finishes including standard shiny, mirror hand-polished, or matte black. For added performance, a replaceable carbon fibre trigger group is available, along with a customisable top lever.
