The Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon I Sporting is an exceptional over-under shotgun that combines performance, elegance, and value. Here are the key features of this remarkable firearm:
-
Best-in-Class 686 Action: The heart of the Silver Pigeon I Sporting is the legendary 686 action. Unlike most over-under actions, which have locking lugs at the top of the receiver, Beretta uses two conical locking lugs at mid-action. This design provides vault-like locking strength while maintaining a lower profile. The result is better swing and hand-eye coordination, making it a favorite among competition shooters and hunters.
-
Optima-Bore, Optima-Choke Barrels: The shotgun features light-weight barrels with the Optima-Bore and Optima-Choke systems. These barrels place the point of balance right at the hinge-pin, ensuring a lively feel in the hands and natural pointability.
-
Flawless Fit and Finish: While not as elaborately decorated as premium shotguns, the Silver Pigeon I Sporting boasts elegance. Its oil-finished stock features crisp checkering, and the schnabel fore-end adds to its classic appeal. The scroll-engraved receiver blends perfectly with the stock, creating graceful lines.
-
Durability: The conical locking lugs allow the receiver to lock up positively even after firing thousands of rounds. The Silver Pigeon Sporting is built to withstand years of enjoyment and can be passed down through generations.
-
Attractive Price-Tag: Despite its premium features, the Silver Pigeon I Sporting offers excellent value. It’s designed for those who seek quality without breaking the bank.
Whether you’re a competitive shooter or a hunting enthusiast, this shotgun won’t disappoint. 🌟
