The over-and-under sporting shotgun remains the go-to platform for competitive clays, upland hunting, and serious field shooters who demand consistent patterns and confident handling. Precision, balance, and an intuitive fit are what separate a good shotgun from a great one—especially when you need fast shouldering and repeatable point of aim under pressure.

BERETTA 686 SILVER PIGEON 1 SPORTING delivers that combination with refined engineering aimed at both the dedicated competitor and the discerning sportsman.

Design and build quality

The BERETTA 686 SILVER PIGEON 1 SPORTING features a 30″ black over/under vent rib barrel built for 12 Gauge 3″ loads and a two-round capacity. The silver engraved steel receiver and polished stainless-steel trigger improve both aesthetics and longevity, while Beretta’s improved receiver balance and smoother opening lever mechanism make on-the-move handling noticeably more fluid. At a street price of $3249.00, it sits squarely in the performance-oriented Over Under category for shooters pursuing premium fit-and-finish.

Performance: chokes, recoil, and the 12 Gauge advantage

Equipped with Steelium Optimabore HP chokes, the shotgun produces dense, uniform patterns with reduced recoil and muzzle rise—key for quick follow-up shots on birds or clay targets. The 12 Gauge caliber provides versatile performance: heavier payloads for upland work and wide pattern control for sporting clays. The extra light recoil pad helps manage recoil on prolonged shooting sessions without sacrificing sighting alignment.

Fit and adjustability

What sets this model apart is the adjustable B-Fast European walnut stock. The B-Fast system allows tailored adjustments to height, drop, cast, and rotation—ideal for shooters who demand a precise cheek weld and consistent eye-to-bead alignment. The stock’s 35/55 drop and European walnut appearance blend traditional styling with modern ergonomics.

Why select this Beretta

Beretta’s reputation for quality and the 686 platform’s proven track record make the BERETTA 686 SILVER PIGEON 1 SPORTING a notable choice for competitors and serious hunters. The floral engraving and attention to hinge-pin detail reflect craftsmanship, while the mechanics—smooth opening lever, balanced receiver—address practical needs in the field or on the range.
