Five Centuries, 150 Masterpieces

Five Centuries, 150 Masterpieces

The beautifully designed performance of the SL3 is celebrated in a limited edition of just 150 pieces, created to mark 500 years of Beretta. Five centuries of an unmistakably Italian tradition: a relentless pursuit of beauty in every detail, never at the expense of reliability and performance.

The SL3 500 Years Limited Edition features refined engraving that blends English scrollwork with modern game scenes, achieved through a sophisticated combination of state-of-the-art laser engraving, rolling and meticulous hand-finishing by the master engravers of Pietro Beretta Selection. 

The charm of a centuries-old tradition

The charm of a centuries-old tradition

The timeless elegance of hand-selected Grade 4 walnut is complemented by a gold-inlaid Beretta 500 Years logo on the bottom of the receiver, alongside the engraved PB Selection logo on the trigger guard.

The SL3 500 Years Limited Edition embodies the iconic design and refined engineering of the Beretta SL3, reinterpreted in a truly exclusive form.

Its distinctive sliding profile — where the receiver tail and top lever seamlessly blend into the stock through an expertly executed taper — creates a sleek, unmistakable line while naturally enhancing target acquisition.

Proven engineering, superior ballistics

Proven engineering, superior ballistics

At its core, a proven locking system with barrels anchored by hinge pins, lower lugs and locking pins ensures flawless operation and the unrivaled reliability synonymous with Beretta. Leaf spring hammers deliver fast, crisp trigger pulls, offering total control shot after shot.

Completing the package are the renowned Steelium® Pro barrels, derived from the most successful competition shotgun ever built, the Beretta DT11. Featuring an extended 450 mm triple progressive forcing cone that reaches the choke area, this advanced geometry maximizes ballistic efficiency — delivering superior terminal energy, reduced recoil, and exceptionally uniform shot patterns to make every shot count.

FAQs • SL3 500 Year Limited Edition

What is the Beretta SL3 500 Years Limited Edition?

The SL3 500 Years Limited Edition is a special commemorative version of Beretta’s premium SL3 over-and-under, created to celebrate 500 years of Beretta gunmaking from 1526–2026. It combines the engineering of the SL3 platform with exclusive engraving, selected walnut and anniversary detailing created specifically for this milestone.

How many Beretta SL3 500 Years Limited Edition shotguns were made?

Only 150 examples are being produced worldwide — 75 in 12 gauge and 75 in 20 gauge — making this one of the most exclusive commemorative Beretta shotguns released for the company's 500th anniversary.

What makes the engraving unique?

The anniversary engraving was designed specifically for the SL3 500 Years Limited Edition and combines traditional English scrollwork with contemporary game and nature scenes. The process blends precision laser engraving with traditional techniques and extensive hand finishing by Pietro Beretta Selection master engravers.

What wood is used on the SL3 500 Years Limited Edition?

Each shotgun features hand-selected Grade 4 walnut, chosen to complement the highly finished action and commemorative detailing. The underside of the receiver also carries the distinctive Beretta 500 Years logo inlaid in gold.

Does the SL3 500 Years Limited Edition use Beretta Steelium Pro barrels?

Yes. It features Beretta's Steelium® Pro barrels, incorporating a 450 mm triple progressive forcing cone derived from the barrel technology developed for the DT11 competition platform. The design is engineered for uniform patterns, ballistic efficiency and reduced perceived recoil.

Is the SL3 500 Years Limited Edition supplied with a special case?

Yes. Each shotgun is supplied in an exclusive presentation case handcrafted at the Pietro Beretta Selection Atelier in Gardone Val Trompia. It features deep blue leather, a debossed Beretta 500 Years logo, burgundy wool lining, hand-finished leather detailing and a dedicated cleaning-kit pouch.

Is the Beretta SL3 500 Years intended for collectors or for shooting?

Both. While its tiny worldwide production, dedicated serial numbering and anniversary craftsmanship give it obvious collector appeal, underneath it remains a fully engineered SL3. Its action incorporates a locking system derived from Beretta's SO10 and a trigger mechanism inspired by the DT11, combining luxury gunmaking with genuine shooting performance.
