Next level Trap Gun? Beretta 688 Black Performance X Trap First UK Review by Eastfield Gunroom

There is no doubt that following its launch back in 2025, that Berettas first foray into the world of laminate shotguns has been a huge success. The 688 Black Performance followed in the footsteps that few shotgun manufacturers have dared to tread, mainly Browning. This is the latest iteration of the 688, the mighty rib X Trap takes much inspiration from the legendary 682 Gold E X trap from over 20 years ago with its raised rib and monte carlo stock profile. Marketed as a dedicated trap shotgun but the 'X' is no one trick pony and will appeal to wide range of clay target shooters.
