Express SSO6, 455
Expressly Different Bringing a charging bull elephant to its knees or scoring a shoulder kill-shot on a Cape buffalo are the moments of truth that make big-game hunting such an adrenaline-raising experience. For dedicated hunters worldwide, a Beretta Express Rifle in the hand means a trophy on the wall. Beretta's almost five centuries of gunmaking help create Express Rifles that deliver a potent combination of ultra-strong actions and carefully crafted barrels to comfortably handle today's powerful ballistics with remarkable accuracy. Express Rifles are not ordinary firearms. The extreme pressures generated by high-caliber express cartridges require an action and a locking system that have been manufactured with extra strength. Barrels, too, must be strong and perfectly rifled for ideal ballistic performance, joined with absolute precision to ensure optimum convergence. Drawing on the proven skills and experience of our master gunsmiths, Beretta has designed higher-strength actions than those used in traditional shotgun-framed express rifles.
Powerfully Precise Based on the configurations of the famous SO over-and-unders, the SSO6 Express Rifles have an exceptionally sturdy receiver with side locks and cold hammer forged barrels. Fitted with a blade front sight and a V-notch rear sight with a folding leaf, the SS06 barrels can be custom ordered with claw mounts for a factory-fitted Zeiss® scope, sighted in at 100 meters. Hand finished, hand checkered stocks and fore-ends are made from select walnut or walnut briar with a cheek rest. A special trapdoor compartment for extra cartridges is fitted inside the stock, and an area under the pistol-grip cap holds a set of spare front sights. Exquisitely Versatile The SSO6 is finished with light engraving on its color case-hardened receiver. The exquisite SSO6 EELL sports a receiver hand engraved with game scenes, or a color case-hardened version with 24-carat gold inlaid animals. All SSO6 Over-and-Under Express Rifles are delivered in a fine fitted leather case complete with maintenance tools and cleaning kit. 455 Side-by-Side Express
Icredibly Resistant In designing the 455 Express, Beretta left nothing to chance in ensuring the absolute mechanical and engineering integrity required to handle the specialized loads mandatory for stalking dangerous game. The 455's action is made of special high-strength steel and forge with an elongated, 60mm plate. This increases the distance between the hinge pin and the three-lug locking system to compensate for stress when shooting. To withstand the tremendous pressure of high-powered cartridges, the sealed receiver has reinforced sides, and the top tang extends fully to the stock comb to further strengthen the attachment of the stock. Safe and Reliable A carefully arrange system of an articulated front trigger and an automatic blocking device eliminates the possibility of simultaneous discharge. The safety (automatic on request) provides for quick, reliable and positive on/off operation. The Boehler steel barrels, joined in perfect alignment with the sophisticated Demiblock chamber system, undergo repeated testing throughout the manufacturing process and proofing. The hand-cut, stepped rib is fitted with a V-notch rear sight with folding blade and a fixed front sight. Superbly Finished Two versions of the 455 Side-by-Side Express Rifle are available, different only in the level of finish. The field-finished 455 is elegantly with a color case-hardened action. |
