The ideal shooting companions. Perhaps that best describes the high level of esteem to which discriminating shooters around the world hold Beretta Premium Grade. Whenever men hunt or compete, these unique custom crafted firearms set standards of matchless performance and unrivaled beauty to which all other makers aspire. First designed and produced in 1933, Beretta Premium Grade Over-and-Unders immediately won fame among the most prestigious and most elegant shotguns in the world. Since that time, they have been refined and improved in every respect: design, materials, safety, assembly, finish and engraving, and lastly-performance.
