The Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon I Sporting delivers consistent clay target performance with its extended 32-inch barrels and competition-focused design. This over/under shotgun combines traditional craftsmanship with modern engineering to provide shooters with reliable accuracy across sporting clays, trap, and skeet disciplines.
What Makes This Different
The Silver Pigeon I features Beretta's proven low-profile action with automatic ejectors and single selective trigger system. The extended 32-inch barrel configuration provides superior swing dynamics and target acquisition compared to standard 28-inch field guns. Optima-Bore HP barrels with lengthened forcing cones reduce felt recoil while maintaining consistent shot patterns at extended ranges.

Competitive shooters benefit from the balanced weight distribution and extended sight radius that 32-inch barrels provide.
