Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon I Field 12 Ga Over/Under Shotgun – 26.5" Barrels, Optima-Bore HP Chokes, 2022 Production
Beretta’s 686 Silver Pigeon I Field pairs the proven 680-series low-profile action with modern engineering details that matter in the field. Built in 2022, this 12 gauge over/under features 26.5-inch Excelsior HSA steel barrels, the Optima-Bore HP interchangeable choke system, and Beretta’s crisp single–selective trigger. Its satin-silver receiver carries factory floral scroll engraving and the Beretta trident crest, giving the gun classic Italian style without sacrificing durability. With neutral cast and a slight right-hand cast-off, it shoulders naturally for a wide range of shooters.

Excelsior HSA steel barrels are cold hammer forged for uniform internal dimensions and outstanding longevity. The 3-inch chambers accommodate both 2 ¾- and 3-inch field loads, while the vent rib promotes fast target acquisition through its single brass bead. Dual conical locking lugs in the low-profile action keep the gun tight shot after shot, and the inertia-reset single trigger provides a positive, repeatable pull.
The satin-finished forged-steel receiver is factory-engraved with scrollwork that complements the silver finish, extending onto the trigger guard and top lever. A manual tang safety with integrated barrel selector offers intuitive control for hunters who change choke pairings in the field.
Oil-finished walnut furniture features fine checkering on the pistol grip, a field/schnabel forend, and a MicroCore recoil pad that softens felt recoil without adding bulk. The 14.75-inch length of pull and neutral grip with slight right-hand cast-off promote a natural mount for right-handed shooters while remaining comfortable for many left-handed users.
Factory-matched serial numbers throughout confirm originality, and the 2022 production date positions this Silver Pigeon I as a recent example of Beretta’s flagship field over/under.
