Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon I 20 Gauge Over-Under Shotgun
Introducing the Newest Generation of the Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon I
The choice of many. The quality of one.
For more than 35 years, the Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon I has defined excellence in the over-and-under crossover shotgun category. Renowned for its reliability, balance, and timeless Italian craftsmanship, the Silver Pigeon has earned its place as one of the most trusted upland and sporting shotguns ever produced.
The 2024 Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon I represents the finest evolution yet -- an incremental but meaningful upgrade that enhances handling, aesthetics, and performance while preserving the legendary DNA shooters rely on.
An Exclusive Evolution of a Legendary Over-Under Shotgun
This latest generation of the 686 Silver Pigeon I 20 GA introduces refinements designed to elevate the shooting experience for seasoned hunters, new shooters, and shooting schools alike.
A newly redesigned top lever mechanism delivers smoother opening and closing with reduced effort, while improved receiver balance and a polished stainless-steel trigger provide enhanced control and consistency. These updates bring the Silver Pigeon into a new era of comfort, functionality, and confidence in the field.
Premium Craftsmanship & Enhanced Engraving
For the first time, the Silver Pigeon I features richer, more detailed floral laser engraving extending seamlessly across all metal surfaces -- including the receiver tail and hinge pins. Created by Beretta's Master Engravers and executed using advanced 5-axis laser technology, the engraving offers exceptional depth, continuity, and elegance.
Superior Ballistics with Steelium® Optimabore® HP Barrels
At the heart of the Silver Pigeon I's performance are Beretta's legendary Steelium® Optimabore® HP barrels, engineered for:
Dense, uniform shot patterns
Reduced recoil and muzzle rise
Compatibility with lead, steel, and high-performance steel shells
These cold hammer-forged barrels feature Beretta's exclusive tri-alloy steel and extended forcing cones (up to 80mm), delivering outstanding accuracy and smooth shooting in any upland or sporting scenario.
