A Timeless Classic, Technically Superior Remarkably light and responsive, the new Beretta 471 EL side-by-sides unite almost 500 years of tradition and elegance with modern and innovative technology. The patented locking mechanism is precision manufactured through advanced Electric Discharge Machining (EDM) that removes metal with astonishing accuracy and consistency.
Innovative and Environmentally Friendly Technologically sophisticated Laser technology is used to fuse the barrel tubes to the Monobloc, a solid-steel barrel chamber set with no brazing or other mechanical attachment to mar the perfect alignment of these two all-important components. The new 12 gauge OptimachokeŽ tubes feature an elongated cone for minimized pellet deformation and improved shot patterns. The innovative selector switch, located on the fore-end iron, provides for automatic ejection or manual extraction. It's an ecological way of keeping spent hulls from littering hunting fields.
Superb Security Offering a traditional manual safety - plus an automatic safety, on request - our exhaustive study of the mechanism has led to superb security. If the action is not totally closed, the top lever safety immediately blocks the firing mechanism. The safety on the hammers and sears is designed to endure the impact of violent blows or falls and prevent accidental discharge.
471 EL This refined and exclusive model features color case hardened side plates applied without screws and game birds depicted in gold. The stock, fore-end and butt plate are crafted from the high quality walnut, finely grained and carefully polished.
