Beretta is proud to announce the launch of the new competition shotgun DT11.
Born from the legendary DT10 Trident, the Beretta competition over and under has collected more medals in competition than any other shotguns, the new DT11 will astonish you with its qualities and performance.
Beretta is considered the largest barrel maker in the world. No one dedicates more time to selecting barrel steel. The new Steelium technology is a unique manufacturing process that transforms the special tri-alloy steel into an exceptional barrel. Along with deep drilling, cold hammer forging and special vacuum distension, Steelium creates the ideal characteristics for the best ballistic performance, available today. Steelium Pro marries the benefits of the Steelium Technology to a new barrel internal profile. The result allows the DT11 to fix new performance standards. The new Beretta DT11 barrels boast a new internal profile with unique -
The receiver, slender and elegant, though robust, is embellished by the contrast between the matt parts (side walls) and the mirror polished ribbon borders that adorn the surface. The blue Beretta logo stands out with pride along with:
A new top rib , newly designed bridges are internally hollowed, while the side ribs are windowed to improve barrel balance and help dissipate the heat generated with constant shooting.
A jeweled satin finish.
A new ergonomic top lever developed according to the requirements of the world’s best shooters, it enhances the grip, reduces the stress and provides comfort of use for the left-handed shooters.
A new safety/selector switch. The shape of the safety/selector switch has been redesigned for better grip and operation.
A new nickel-based finish.
Special finishing on the fences, finely engraved by hand, reduces glare while shooting. The carefully tapered rear of the barrel and the profile of the fences allow rapid target acquisition during instinctive shouldering.
Perfect component weight ensures the best possible distribution of patterns and the optimum balance and swing required for all disciplines.
The unbelievable durability and the constant performance of the Beretta DT11 are guaranteed by:
New adjustable trigger designed for both right-handed and left-handed shooters. The trigger can be easily adjusted and finely tuned into position.
The DT11 is treated as a Premium Grade shotgun during all phases of production. A focus on detail and the coupling of all components, primary (receiver, barrel, fore-end iron) and secondary (trigger group, top lever) make each shotgun unique, giving the shooter an instrument that has been personally tested and perfected by the master gunsmiths of the world’s oldest firearms manufacturer.
High quality walnut is hand finished according to the shooter’s choice (oil, Tru Oil or wax finishing). The stock and fore-end can be fitted to each customer’s measurements. The pistol grip and the fore-end are hand-chequered to both ensure a solid grip and to complement the overall design of the shogun.
An elegant gun case, in silver polymeric material, with the Beretta logo, is provided with every DT11.
