Beretta SO4 Sporting 12 Ga
The Beretta SO4 represents the pinnacle of Italian shotgun craftsmanship, serving as a cornerstone of the legendary SO series known for its hand-fitted sidelock action and exceptional balance. This over-and-under model reflects Beretta’s centuries-old tradition of combining robust mechanical precision with elegant aesthetics for the competitive shooter.
This 1987 example is a dedicated **sporting** configuration, featuring 29 ½" Boehler Antinit barrels and a walnut stock with deep, dark tones and a traditional checkered butt. The firearm displays **nicely figured** wood grain and is marked "Sporting" on the trigger guard, though it should be noted the previous owner chose to remove the front sight to suit their personal sight picture.
The shotgun comes equipped with seven thin-walled multichokes and a tool, all housed in a premium **Beretta branded leather & fabric travel case**. This comprehensive set includes a three-part cleaning rod with fittings and three turnscrews for maintenance, ensuring the action continues to lock up with the vault-like security expected of a premium sidelock.
