Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon I Vittoria, Wood/Blued, 12 Ga, 28" BBL, 3" Chamber, 2 Rds

For over 35 years, the Silver Pigeon has set the standard in the over-and-under crossover shotgun category, establishing itself as the epitome of excellence and reliability. The 2024 evolution of the 686 SPI is the best version of the Silver Pigeon I yet— an incremental upgrade that elevates the renowned Beretta field shotgun to new heights.

The innovative and smoother opening lever mechanism makes it easier to open and close the shotgun. Together with the improved receiver balance and the polished stainless-steel trigger, it brings the Silver Pigeon into a new era of functionality. This is Important for an enhanced, enjoyable shooting experience for novices, young shooters, and shooting schools providing lessons.

For the first time, the richer and more distinctive floral engraving is featured on the receiver tail and is more intricately detailed on the hinge pins, covering all the metal surfaces seamlessly.

The Silver Pigeon I incorporates the perfect ballistics of Beretta's highly reputed Steelium Optimabore HP barrels for dense, uniform patterns and low recoil and muzzle rise.

Features:

TOP LEVER WITH SMOOTHER FEELING OPENING AND CLOSING: The action's opening and closing are smoother and require less effort, thanks to the redesigned top lever with a repositioned release pin.

ELEGANTLY FIGURED EUROPEAN WALNUT: The stock is now available with a higher 35/55 drop to enhance handling and shooting experience in both a right- and left-handed version. A Vittoria version is available, with a semi-Montecarlo 35/45/55 drop.

STEELIUM & OPTIMABORE HP CHOKES: The ingredients for the stunning performance of the Beretta Steelium barrels are the exclusive tri-alloy Beretta steel (Ni, Cr, Mo), the deep drilling, the cold hammer forging, and the vacuum distension. The 686 Silver Pigeon I Steelium barrels have a double forcing cone reaching up to 80mm (in a 76 cm barrel). The inner profile of the Optimabore HP barrels has been designed and tested to provide perfect accuracy with every type of shell: lead, steel, and high-performance steel. This results in perfect patterns with every shot.

FLORAL LASER-ENGRAVING: 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 floral theme, created by Beretta's Master Engravers, now seamlessly covers the metal surfaces, extends for the first time to the receiver tail, and embellishes the hinge pins. The background with micro-lines improves the depth of the scene.

EXTRALIGHT RECOIL PAD: The Extralight recoil pad is lighter, abrasion-resistant, and protected from chemical and atmospheric agents thanks to its closed-cell structure.
