The Silver Pigeon evolves with the V version, the top of the range of Beretta’s “standard” over-and-under shotguns. Hunters will love this gun even more, a beautiful symbol of efficiency, reliability and minimum maintenance requirements inherited from the 680 platform. This new model is characterized by a new look together with a superior wood grade.
The exquisite gloss finish enhances the grain of the stunning class 3 wood and protects it from rain and humidity. A leap in quality compared with those of the Silver Pigeon III class 2.5. All these features are combined with the excellent ballistics guaranteed by the Steelium Optimabore HP tri-alloy steel barrels.
The fine engravings are made using state-of-the-art 5-axis laser technology and are embellished by a special sparkle in the bas-relief areas, which creates a pleasing contrast effect, highlighting the deep scroll motifs on the receiver, opening lever, trigger guard, locking shoulders, pins and forend release.
The pistol grip stock, available with either a 35/55 or 38/60 drop in either right and left-handed configurations, and the forend, are made from selected class 3 walnut wood and covered with a lustrous gloss finish that is resistant to rain and humidity and highlights the precious wood grain. The stock and forend are also finely chequered for an improved grip.
As an optional, adjustable B-Fast stock is available.
The 687 Silver Pigeon V’s receiver, which is derived from the legendary 680 series, features a slim, elegant shape characterized by the tried-and-tested locking system with iconic trapezoid shoulders and dual conical locking lugs. The fine engraving with deep scroll motif reproduces a design created by the master engravers of Gardone Val Trompia and extends to the bottom of the receiver (where the shotgun model and three-arrow Beretta logo are shown), opening lever, trigger guard, locking shoulders, pins and forend release.
For this shotgun, Beretta used the most modern state-of-the-art 5-axis laser technology, capable of engraving rounded surfaces while maintaining perfect continuity in the design and reproducing, even in bas-relief areas, a precious contrast effect that typically characterizes premium shotguns.
The gun features a gold-plated single selective trigger. The selector is located inside the safety tang, allowing the user to select the barrel for the first shot with a simple quick sideways movement.
The ultra-reliable and sturdy ejection system is the tried-and-tested version used on the 680 platform. This venerable platform boasts more than a million guns in use over the course of more than 30 years.
The 687 Silver Pigeon V features the famous Steelium barrels in tri-alloy steel, available in 71-76 cm / 28”–30” (for the Hunting version) and 76-81 / 30”-32” (for the Sporting version) lengths, characterized by deep drilling, cold hammer forging and vacuum relief.
The special Optimabore HP geometry, with its 80-millimeter double forcing cone, is designed to offer outstanding performance and always perfect and uniform patterns with every type of ammunition, reducing at the same time felt recoil.
The 70mm Optimachoke HP chokes are also perfect with steel shots.
The windowed top rib (6x6 mm for the Hunting version and 10x8 mm for the Sporting version) with accurate anti-reflective checkering and a spherical steel front sight is a clear reference to the most exclusive Beretta over-and-under shotguns. An intermediary sight can be fitted on the Sporting version.
