Description

GK2727 Beretta Silver Pigeon 1 20 Gauge 30in

686 Silver Pigeon I

The pistol-grip stock and forend of the new 686 Silver Pigeon I are manufactured from selected, oil-finished walnut and are finely chequered for improved grip, even in the rain. The stock is available with a 36.5/57.5 drop in both a right- and left-handed version. Additionally, the forend is available in Schnabel or rounded version. The Microcore® recoil pad ensures comfortable, accurate shouldering and safe, stable support when shooting.



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 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


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. This boasts more than a million guns in use over the course of more than 30 years.


The new 686 Silver Pigeon I also features Steelium Optima Bore HP barrels in tri-alloy Beretta steel on the 12 and 20 calibre hunting version. They are available in lengths of 66, 71 and 76cm, featuring 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 70 mm long Optima Choke HP chokes. The 28 and .410 calibres versions are fitted with the traditional Beretta barrels with 50mm Mobil Chokes.
The 6x6 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 Sporting version features a 10x8 rib and ventilated side ribs.
