Over/under shotguns remain a benchmark for upland hunters and clays competitors who demand reliable break-action performance paired with refined handling. As an expert observer of defensive and sporting platforms, I look for proven action, balanced ballistics, and durable finishes that stand up to field use without excessive maintenance.

Design and Craftsmanship

The 687 Silver Pigeon III takes the reliable 680 platform and dresses it in elevated finishes. State-of-the-art 5-axis laser engraving creates detailed floral motifs and evocative game scenes—complete with pheasants and partridges—while a special sparkle treatment in bas-relief areas provides visual contrast without compromising function. The class 2.5 wood stock receives an exquisite gloss finish that enhances grain, improves weather resistance, and extends service life for shooters who use their shotguns in variable conditions.

Barrel Technology and Ballistics

At the heart of the 687 Silver Pigeon III are Steelium Optima Bore HP tri-alloy steel barrels. These barrels are engineered to deliver consistent patterns and dependable shot acceleration across a range of loads. For upland work and clays, the barrel metallurgy promotes repeatable performance with minimal tuning required—an attribute shooters appreciate when they want field-ready ballistics without constant adjustment.

Gauges and Applications

Available in 12, 20, 28, and .410, the platform covers the full spectrum from serious upland and driven-shoot applications (12) to light, fast-handling setups for youth, training, or small-game (28 and .410). Two drop options let you tailor fit to shoulder geometry and cheek weld preferences, enhancing pointability and follow-through.

Built on the legendary 680 platform, this model emphasizes low maintenance and mechanical reliability—qualities that make it a pragmatic choice for both seasoned hunters and enthusiasts seeking classic looks with proven internals.
