The Beretta 694 ProSport is a 12-gauge over/under with a 30-inch barrel and a 2-round capacity. It's built for clay shooting (trap, skeet, and sporting clays), and the oiled wood stock and forend reflect Beretta's traditional approach to competition shotguns.

Detailed Features 

The 30-inch barrels give a longer sighting plane and a natural swing-through that competition shooters often prefer for crossing targets. The over/under layout puts both shots accessible without breaking position, and the action cycles smoothly. The oiled wood stock has an adjustable fit system so the length of pull and comb height can be set to the shooter's dimensions, something that matters more in competition than casual use. 
 
Weight and balance are where this gun draws the most discussion. The 694 is on the heavier side for an over/under, which helps dampen recoil during a long round of sporting clays but can be tiring in the field. 
 

Target Audience 

The 694 ProSport is aimed at clay sport competitors who want a purpose-built competition gun with a traditional aesthetic. It's not a hunting gun by design, though it would handle upland birds fine. The adjustable stock makes it a reasonable fit for shooters who haven't found an off-the-shelf length that works for them. 
 

Usage Scenarios 

Most owners use this gun on clay courses or at trap and skeet clubs. The 30-inch barrel and competition-oriented balance are calibrated for those environments, not for walking long distances in the field.

Owners of the Beretta 694 ProSport tend to discuss it in terms of competition use, not casual shooting.

The oiled wood stock gets consistent praise for its look and feel. Beretta's woodwork on the 694 series is noticeably better than mass-market over/unders, and shooters who come from cheaper guns usually notice it immediately. The adjustable stock is another frequently mentioned plus. Being able to dial in comb height and length of pull without sending the gun to a stock fitter is genuinely useful for competition shooters.

Balance and handling in clay sports are positive points. The gun swings well on crossing targets and the longer barrel suits most competition formats. Recoil management is helped by the weight, though that same weight draws criticism from shooters who find it fatiguing during extended sessions.

Price is the main hesitation. The 694 sits at the upper end of the production competition shotgun market, and some buyers weigh it against comparably priced options from Browning or Caesar Guerini. Most who commit to it are satisfied with the build quality, but the entry cost causes real deliberation.

A minority of users note that the gun is purpose-built for clay sports and may feel over-engineered for casual field use.
