THE NRA FOUNDATION AND BERETTA ANNOUNCE PARTNERS FOR THE FUTURE PROGRAM

ACCOKEEK, MD - Beretta and The NRA Foundation will continue the "Partners for the Future" program in 2005. This program has created some of the finest shotguns ever made available to shooters. They pay tribute to the NRA's vigilant protection of the Second Amendment and to Beretta's 500-year history of creating the finest shotguns in the world. Proceeds from the program will go to the Beretta Youth Endowment.
The first Partners for the Future creation are a matching set of 12 and 20 gauge 3901 NRA Partner Exclusive Edition shotguns. These are limited to 100 sets with matching serial numbers (NRA-001) with an added "A" and "B". These unique pairs have a high-polished, nickel silver finished receiver with gold-filled engravings. The 12 gauge displays engraved Mallards in flight and the 20 gauge is engraved with a busting covey of quail. Each will also have engraved the "PB" shield and the NRA seal on the right side of the receiver.
The 100 pairs will have a deluxe grade-3 wood with the NRA Foundation monogram medallion inlaid into the grip cap of the stock. Each gun comes with its own fitted brown leather case, with certificate of authenticity; NRA patch, pin, and five screw-in choke tubes from full to cylinder constrictions. These beautiful pairs of shotguns will be auctioned to NRA members, giving that special pair of shooters the perfect pair of shotguns to enjoy together.
The second offering will be sets of 12 or 20 gauge 3901 NRA Limited Edition shotguns with the shooter's selected date as part of the serial number (NRA-mmddyy). These sets are perfect for anniversaries, birthdays, etc. and can be specially ordered directly from Beretta (visit www.berettausa.com) and will be shipped direct to a licensed dealer. Shooters can order a perfect set of shotguns for that perfect occasion. The set of Limited Edition has the same beautiful engravings and polished finish as the previously mentioned 12/20 gauge pair but with a black receiver. The wood is a deluxe 2.5-grade and each is fitted to a Beretta ABS case with the NRA medallion on the side. Inside each case will be five choke tubes and a NRA patch and pin and only 500 pairs will be made.
The third shotgun created for Partners for the Future is a 3901 NRA Partner Special Edition. Having a more simple engraving scheme and a synthetic stock, these fine shotguns boast a look all their own. These beautiful shotguns are available in 12 or 20 gauge, have Special Edition fitted cases, three choke tubes and a certificate of authenticity. The 20 gauge is especially good for young shooters having a one-inch removable spacer in the butt stock to adjust length of pull. Serial numbers will range from NRA-00000 (12 gauge) and BER-00000 (20 gauge).
The Special Edition shotgun is available to dealers exclusively through AcuSport and will be available for a limited time. They are a great first gun for the young shooter and a fine collector for the avid sportsman. To see all of these beautiful shotguns visit berettausa.com.
Beretta and the NRA are proud to Partner for the Future. These fine Beretta shotguns are made in the USA with the craftsmanship of a 500-year legacy. They signify the future of not just gun-ownership but of the future of friends and families sharing a passion for the shooting and hunting sports that will pass down to generations.
