The Beretta S3 sidelock shotgun, manufactured in Italy in 1960, is a remarkable example of fine craftsmanship and elegant design. This 12-gauge model features a 28-inch barrel and boasts an improved modified choke at .025" restriction, as well as a full choke at .035", ensuring precision for a variety of shooting applications. Weighing in at a comfortable 7 lb 7.6 oz, it strikes a perfect balance between manageability and stability.
The action is a sidelock design with ejectors and a single non-selective trigger, renowned for its strength and reliability. The trigger pull is crisp, and the ejectors function smoothly and in perfect time, enhancing the overall shooting experience. The bores are clear, reflecting the care this shotgun has received over the years.
Aesthetic appeal is paramount with the S3, as the action features exquisite rose and scroll engraving that envelops nearly the entire surface, elevating it to a work of art. The nice walnut stock, styled in an English straight grip, showcases a striking grain pattern that complements the engraving beautifully.  Comb of stock has been replaced to raise comb height. The checkering on both the straight grip and forend is sharp and provides an excellent hold, while a blank initial oval near the toe of the stock adds a touch of personalization. A vent rubber recoil pad ensures shooting comfort, making it a pleasure to handle.
Overall, this Beretta S3 is in very good condition, with only faint wear indicative of its age. It's a stunning shotgun that not only promises exceptional performance in the field but also stands as a testament to the artistry of Italian gun-making. Whether you're a collector or an avid shooter, this Beretta S3 is a distinguished choice that blends tradition, beauty, and functionality seamlessly.
