Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon I Sport Shotgun

A Timeless Sporting Shotgun, Now Refined for Modern Precision

The Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon I Sport represents the pinnacle of sporting shotgun design, engineered on the legendary 680 series platform that has earned the trust of millions of shooters worldwide. Renowned for its slim profile and flawless operation, this over-under shotgun combines Italian craftsmanship, advanced performance engineering, and unmatched reliability, making it a go-to choice for clay shooting, sporting clays, and competition disciplines.

At the heart of this sporting legend lies Beretta’s ultra-low-profile receiver, forged from a single steel block and precision-machined for exceptional balance and durability. The locking system is built on dual conical lugs with trapezoidal shoulders—a design perfected over decades to ensure consistent lockup, even under the most demanding shooting conditions. This platform is not only robust but also refined, delivering a smooth and confident break-action feel thanks to a redesigned top lever and stainless-steel trigger that provide lasting precision.

The 686 Silver Pigeon I Sport features Beretta’s Steelium® Optimabore® HP barrels—crafted from Beretta’s proprietary tri-alloy steel and cold-hammer forged to exacting tolerances. These barrels include 80mm double forcing cones, which significantly reduce felt recoil while producing uniform and reliable shot patterns, even when using steel shot. The barrels are matte blued for glare reduction and come with a 10×8 ventilated rib for fast target acquisition and better sight alignment, whether you’re shooting trap, skeet, or five-stand.

Aesthetically, the shotgun is a work of art. The steel receiver is adorned with intricate floral scroll engravings created using Beretta’s state-of-the-art 5-axis laser engraving process. These ornate details extend gracefully across the hinge pins and the receiver tail, seamlessly merging tradition with technology. Paired with an oil-finished Grade 2 walnut stock and forend, the 686 Silver Pigeon I Sport exudes class and performance. Shooters can choose between a standard pistol grip stock or a B-Fast® adjustable comb version, allowing precise fit and control for shooters of all sizes and preferences.

The stock is ergonomically designed for enhanced comfort during long sessions, and the oil finish brings out the natural grain of the walnut while providing lasting protection. The B-Fast® adjustable comb system, available on select models, lets users fine-tune comb height to achieve ideal eye alignment with the rib, which is essential for repeatable accuracy on clay targets. The manual safety, placed at the tang for intuitive operation, includes a barrel selector, allowing quick choice between top or bottom barrel first fire.

The shotgun’s single-selective trigger delivers a crisp, consistent pull, while the ejector system—borrowed from Beretta’s time-tested 680 series—ensures reliable shell ejection shot after shot. Whether you’re a seasoned competitor or an enthusiastic amateur, the 686 Silver Pigeon I Sport offers a level of performance and refinement that elevates every shooting experience.
