About the Beretta SL2 Sporting
The Beretta SL2 Sporting is a 12-gauge over-and-under competition shotgun introduced in 2024 as Beretta's flagship sporting clays gun. It uses a Boss-type locking system inspired by the premium SO10 and Steelium Pro X barrels with elongated forcing cones and OCXP extended chokes. The steel receiver carries a graphite-grey, laser-etched anti-glare finish, and the gun pairs a detachable racing-design trigger group with a B-Fast adjustable comb and a 20mm Microcore recoil pad. Positioned as a hand-finished 'hypergun', it is built for serious clay-target competition.
Beretta positioned the SL2 as a 'hypergun', bringing the Boss-type locking design of its ultra-premium SO10 sidelock into a mechanical over-and-under aimed squarely at top-level sporting clays shooters, with UK retail prices approaching GBP 19,000.
