Beretta ABS Hard Compact Case

The Beretta ABS Hard Compact Case offers a secure, compact way to transport one disassembled over-and-under or side-by-side shotgun. Its clever layout places the stock and receiver alongside the barrels and forend, rather than stacking the two sections. This creates a squarer profile that is easier to store than many conventional gun cases, while a separator panel keeps the two parts apart.

The case is designed around the practical needs of shooters who transport their shotgun in two parts. The stock and receiver sit beside the barrels and forend, making efficient use of the available space. There is also room for suitable accessories, although the case is intended to carry one disassembled shotgun rather than multiple firearms.

Choose the size carefully to suit your shotgun. The blue and orange versions accommodate barrels and external chokes up to 86cm, while the green version accommodates up to 78cm. These measurements include any external chokes, so check the full barrel length before ordering.

As a rough guide, the blue and orange cases generally suit shotguns with barrels up to 32 inches, while the green version generally suits barrels up to 30 inches.

Thermoformed ABS forms the rigid outer shell, giving the case a durable structure for carrying and travel. Inside, velvet lining helps protect the shotgun’s finish, while the central separator panel keeps the barrel assembly and stock-and-receiver section apart.

Beretta ABS Hard Compact Case Key Features

• Compact internal layout: Stores the stock and receiver alongside the barrels and forend, rather than stacking them.
• Rigid ABS shell: Thermoformed construction provides a hard outer case.
• Velvet-lined interior: Blue velvet in the blue and orange versions; black velvet in the green version.
• Separator panel: Keeps the two disassembled shotgun sections apart.
• Three combination locks: Two side locks and one central lock.
• Two carrying options: Central handle and supplied shoulder sling.
• Replaceable sling: Shoulder strap hooks allow a compatible shotgun sling to be fitted.
• Accessory space: Room for suitable accessories alongside one disassembled shotgun.
• Air-travel suitability: Manufacturer-specified as suitable for air travel; check current airline requirements.
• Three colour and size options: Blue and orange fit barrels and external chokes up to 86cm; green fits up to 78cm.
• High-visibility option: Orange exterior is useful where increased visibility is desirable.

The case opens flat on a table, making it easier to access the contents when preparing your shotgun. Three combination locks are positioned across the case, with two at the sides and one in the centre. This locking system helps secure the contents during transport.

A central handle provides a familiar way to carry the case by hand. For hands-free carrying, the supplied shoulder sling attaches using hooks of the type used on hunting shotguns. This also means you can replace the supplied sling with a compatible shotgun sling if preferred.

Which Should I Choose?

Choose blue or orange for the larger 86cm barrel capacity, or green for the more compact 78cm version. The orange finish is particularly useful when high visibility is desirable. The blue and orange cases have blue velvet interiors, while the green version has black velvet lining.

All three versions are specified as suitable for air travel. Always check your airline’s current firearm transport requirements before travelling, as approval of the case does not replace the need to follow the airline’s and destination’s rules.

With its rigid ABS shell, combination locks and space-saving layout, the Beretta ABS Hard Compact Case is a practical choice for shooters who want to transport a disassembled shotgun in a compact, purpose-designed case.

Design, Security and Use

Q: How does the compact layout work?

A: No. The case is designed to carry one disassembled shotgun. There is additional room for suitable accessories.

Q: Does the case have a padded interior?
A: It has a velvet-lined interior and a separator panel to help protect the shotgun’s components from contact with each other. The outer shell is made from thermoformed ABS.

Q: How is the case secured?
A: It has three combination locks: one in the centre and one on each side.

Q: Can I carry the case over my shoulder?

Q: Is the case suitable for air travel?
A: The manufacturer specifies all three versions as suitable for air travel. You should still check your airline’s current requirements for firearm cases, locks and firearm transport before travelling.
