Engineered with a heavier receiver, it enhances stability and handling while significantly reducing recoil for smoother shooting. The competition-designed laminated wood stock, complete with a palm swell, optimises weight distribution and balance for superior control. Outfitted with the B-Fast®: adjustable technology right out of the box, customisation has never been easier. A newly redesigned top lever ensures a smoother, effortless operation when opening and closing the action, elevating your shooting experience.

HEAVIER RECEIVER
The 688 Performance boasts an upgraded 680-based receiver, widened and enhanced by an additional 55g compared to other Beretta 680 models. This thoughtful enhancement improves recoil reduction, stability, and overall handling while preserving the shotgun's perfect balance at the hinge pins. The sleek blued steel receiver, accented with an eye-catching orange 688 logo and a refined laser-engraved anti-glare finish, adds a modern touch that complements its high-performance design.

TOP LEVER CLOSING DESIGN
The 688 Performance features a redesigned top lever with a repositioned release pin, enabling a smoother, low-effort action opening. Ideal for young, new, and competitive shooters dedicated to honing their skills, this enhancement makes every practice session more efficient and comfortable.

PALM SWELL
The thicker ergonomics of the stock is based on the successful Beretta 694 design, widened blade and comb, lengthened closed pistol grip with palm swell to provide maximum comfort while ensuring the position of the hands is extremely natural and stable. The 1.5 pitch checkering and increased surface area guarantees the best possible grip.

LAMINATE WOOD STOCK
The black laminated wood stock, polished with a sleek glossy finish, gives the 688 Performance a contemporary look while ensuring consistent weight and superior weather resistance over traditional walnut. This modern upgrade combines style with practical durability for top performance in any condition.

STEELIUM BARRELS
Steelium is the signature feature of all barrels made by Beretta, a company with nearly 500 years of expertise in barrel manufacturing. Using its exclusive tri-alloy steel (Ni, Cr, Mo), Beretta barrels undergo a precise process of deep drilling, cold hammer forging, and vacuum distension. This ensures optimal ballistics, reduced recoil and muzzle rise, and consistently dense, uniform patterns with various types of ammunition, including lead, steel, and High-Performance steel.
