What’s Included
- Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon II Field 12 Gauge over/under shotgun
The low-profile 680-series action keeps the barrels closely aligned with the shooter’s hands, reducing felt recoil and improving swing. Conical locking lugs and replaceable hinge pins deliver long-term durability, while Italian CIP proof marks confirm pressure testing.
Forged steel construction and a satin coin finish set the receiver apart, especially with the hand-cut scroll and pheasant/partridge game scenes. The engraving is factory-applied and contrasts cleanly with the blued barrels for a classic field aesthetic.
Beretta’s Excelsior tri-alloy steel barrels are chrome-lined for corrosion resistance and feature a ventilated rib topped by a single brass bead. The 3 inch chambers accept a wide range of 12 gauge loads, and the Mobil-Choke system offers broad choke compatibility (chokes not included).
The oil-finished walnut stock offers a 14.5 inch length of pull, a pistol grip with 18-lpi checkering, and a schnabel fore-end for positive control. A manual safety with integral barrel selector and a gold-plated single selective trigger provide straightforward, reliable operation.
All major components—action, barrels, and fore-end—carry matching serial numbers, underscoring the gun’s original factory fit.
