The Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon I delivers the precision and reliability that competitive clay shooters and upland hunters demand in a 20-gauge platform. This over/under shotgun combines Italian craftsmanship with proven field performance, featuring a 28-inch barrel configuration optimized for sporting clays and bird hunting applications.
What Makes This Different
The Silver Pigeon I stands apart from entry-level over/unders through its forged and machined receiver construction rather than cast components. The Optima-Bore barrel system provides consistent shot patterns and reduced felt recoil compared to standard bore designs. Beretta's proven locking system maintains tight lockup after thousands of rounds, while the automatic ejectors ensure reliable shell extraction during rapid-fire sporting events.Key Features
