Craftsmanship and Finish

The Silver Pigeon V upgrades the classic 680 platform with a superior class 3 wood grade finished to a high gloss that both accentuates grain and provides protection from rain and humidity in the field. These cosmetic and protective enhancements are more than visual — they maintain stock stability and handling consistency across changing conditions.

Engraving Technology

Laser-driven 5-axis engraving on this model produces repeatable, deep scroll motifs while preserving lock-up integrity. The bas-relief sparkle effect gives visual depth without compromising corrosion resistance or mechanical function.

Barrel System and Ballistics

Under the aesthetic upgrades, the Silver Pigeon V retains serious ballistic improvements: Steelium® Optimabore® HP tri-alloy steel barrels deliver tighter, more consistent patterns and enhanced shot-to-shot uniformity. Those barrels, paired with Beretta’s long-standing action geometry, yield reliable cycling with minimal maintenance — a key advantage for shooters who spend long days on the range or in the field.
