STOCK
The pistol-grip stock and forend of the 686 Silver Pigeon I are manufactured from selected, oil-finished walnut and are finely chequered for improved grip, even in the harshest conditions. The stock is available with a 36.5/57.5 drop in both a right and left-handed versions. The forend is available in a Schnabel or rounded version. The Microcore® recoil pad ensures comfortable, accurate shouldering and consistently stable support when shooting.
686 RECEIVER
The 686 Silver Pigeon I’s receiver, which is derived from the legendary 680 series, features a slim, elegant shape, characterised by the tried-and-tested locking system with iconic trapezoid shoulders and dual conical locking lugs. The engravings are created using modern Beretta technology, namely a 5-axis laser, capable of engraving rounded surfaces while maintaining perfect continuity in the design.
The theme, created by Beretta’s highly revered master engravers, takes the form of an elegant floral motif, embellished with images reflective of the region, such as leaves and grapes on the vine; and extends to the action release, making it more visually appealing as well as providing perfect grip during use.
RELIABLE OPERATION
The gun features a gold-coloured single selective trigger. The selector is located on top of the safety tang, allowing the user to select the barrel for the first shot with a simple, rapid sideways movement. The ultra-reliable and sturdy ejection system is the tried-and-tested version used on the 680 platform. Slick and reliable operation is one of the defining reasons that the Silver Pigeon became one of the most popular shotguns over the course of more than 30 years.
DURABLE BARRELS
The 686 Silver Pigeon I features Steelium Optima Bore HP barrels in tri-alloy Beretta steel. They are available in varying lengths and are made using a process of deep drilling, cold hammer forging and vacuum relieving. The geometry of the Optima-Bore HP, with its 80-millimetre double forcing cone is designed to offer outstanding performance, even with steel shot. The pattern remains perfect and uniform irrespective of cartridge type, thanks also to the use of the 70mm long Optima Choke HP chokes.
RIB
The 10x8 vented top rib with precise non-reflective chequering and traditional steel front bead is a clear reference to the most exclusive Beretta over-and-under shotguns. The centre rib is vented for optimal cooling to the barrels.
