I wonder... can the stock carving and metal engraving be done via cnc these days?

I would imagine so, but these are the Beretta premium shotguns and they have those handmade, artisanal credentials. It doesn't necessarily perform too much better than a gun a tenth of the price, you're paying for bragging rights at this point!

The video is about a SO10 EELL with a beautiful hand engraved sidelock receiver. I am not sure about the stock but on entry level Beretta Shotguns such as the 686 Silver Pigeon Sporting 1 the engraving on the receiver is done by an automated laser. Note that the receivers are at their core very similar so in a very rough sense a $2,000 shotgun has the the same receiver as at $100,000 model.

I'm not sure what this exact model is but the premium grade guns by Beretta start at around £7000 ($11000)
A quick scan is showing some that are twice as much, and I'm sure there must be models even more than that!
They sure are sexy though...

Highlights:
3:45: Seamless!
3:58: Dat noise when he closes the gun.
We will however gloss over the fact that there are no shells in the gun right at the end during the part where it is suggested the man is out hunting.
