The Beretta 687 Silver Pigeon V 12 Gauge 28″ stands as the refined pinnacle of Beretta’s iconic Silver Pigeon lineage—an over/under shotgun that marries timeless Italian elegance with modern performance for the upland hunter, sporting clays enthusiast, or anyone who appreciates understated sophistication in their firearms.

Built on the legendary 680-series action with its proven trapezoidal locking shoulders and dual conical lugs, this model delivers rock-solid reliability and smooth operation shot after shot. The 28-inch Steelium® barrels—deep-drilled, cold hammer-forged from tri-alloy steel, and vacuum-relieved—feature the renowned Optima Bore HP geometry with an extended 80mm double forcing cone, producing exceptionally uniform patterns, reduced recoil, and compatibility with all ammunition types, including steel shot. Five flush Optima-Choke HP chokes (F, IM, M, IC, C) provide versatile patterning for field or clays.

The receiver boasts exquisite high-contrast deep scroll and floral engraving crafted via state-of-the-art 5-axis laser technology, extending gracefully across the action, trigger guard, and forend release for a luxurious, cohesive aesthetic. Paired with a beautifully figured Grade 3 walnut stock—gloss-finished, water-repellent, and adorned with fine checkering—this shotgun offers superb ergonomics, a comfortable 14.75-inch length of pull, and a MicroCore® recoil pad for enhanced comfort during extended sessions. The single selective gold-plated trigger breaks crisply, with automatic safety and manual selector.

Weighing around 7 to 7.5 pounds with an overall length of approximately 44 inches, the Silver Pigeon V swings naturally and points instinctively, making it feel lighter and more responsive than its specs suggest—perfect for walking the uplands or breaking clays with finesse.

This is more than a shotgun; it’s a celebration of Beretta heritage, blending heirloom-quality craftsmanship with practical excellence—an aspirational choice that elevates every outing without intimidation.
