The Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon I delivers field-proven reliability for upland hunting and sporting clays with its precision-engineered over/under action. This 20-gauge model combines the manageable recoil of the smaller bore with Beretta's legendary build quality, making it an ideal choice for extended shooting sessions and smaller-framed shooters.

What Makes This Different

The 686 Silver Pigeon I features Beretta's time-tested boxlock action with dual conical locking lugs that distribute stress evenly across the receiver. Unlike many competitors that use single locking systems, this dual-lug design provides superior strength and longevity. The silver-finished steel receiver showcases elegant scroll engraving while maintaining the structural integrity needed for thousands of rounds. The 30-inch barrel length provides extended sight radius and superior swing dynamics for crossing targets.

Key Features

  • 20-gauge chambered for 3-inch shells with automatic ejectors for fast follow-up shots
  • 30-inch ventilated rib barrels with 6mm top rib for improved heat dissipation
  • Fixed European walnut stock with oil finish and checkered grip surfaces
  • Dual conical locking lugs and replaceable hinge pins for extended service life
  • Single selective trigger with barrel selector integrated into trigger guard
  • Silver-finished steel receiver with hand-engraved scroll work
  • Mobile choke tube system accepts Beretta/Benelli Mobil threads
The 30-inch barrel configuration excels in upland bird hunting and sporting clays where longer sight radius translates to improved accuracy on distant or crossing targets. The 20-gauge chambering handles everything from light 2¾-inch target loads to heavy 3-inch waterfowl rounds while producing 25% less felt recoil than comparable 12-gauge models. Weather-resistant oil finish on the walnut stock maintains grip security in wet conditions, while the ventilated rib dissipates heat buildup during extended shooting sessions.
