The Beretta S56E represents a classic era of Italian gunmaking, serving as the esteemed precursor to the world-renowned 600 series of over & under shotguns. Known for its robust action and elegant profile, this model solidified Beretta’s reputation for producing reliable and balanced firearms for the discerning sportsman.

This particular 1968 example remains a solid shooter, featuring 28" barrels and a classic Prince of Wales stock with a 14 ¾" length of pull. The configuration is distinguished by its **fitted sling mounts**, making it an exceptionally practical choice for the upland hunter.

The firearm is equipped with traditional double triggers and automatic ejectors, and the action **locks up tight** just as it did decades ago. The 2 ¾" chambers and fixed Improved Modified and Modified chokes provide balanced and effective patterns for various field conditions.
