Beretta 12 gauge 687 Silver Pigeon V (SPORTING)

Description

tHE ULTIMATE EVOLUTION OF THE LEGEND - SPORTING VERSION
The Silver Pigeon evolves with the V version, the top of the range of Beretta’s “standard” over-and-under shotguns. Hunters will love this gun even more, a beautiful symbol of efficiency, reliability and minimum maintenance requirements inherited from the 680 platform. This new model is characterized by a new look together with a superior wood grade.
The exquisite gloss finish enhances the grain of the stunning class 3 wood and protects it from rain and humidity. A leap in quality compared with those of the Silver Pigeon III class 2.5. All these features are combined with the excellent ballistics guaranteed by the Steelium Optimabore HP tri-alloy steel barrels.
The 687 Silver Pigeon V’s receiver, which is derived from the legendary 680 series, features a slim, elegant shape characterized by the tried-and-tested locking system with iconic trapezoid shoulders and dual conical locking lugs. The fine engraving with deep scroll motif reproduces a design created by the master engravers of Gardone Val Trompia and extends to the bottom of the receiver (where the shotgun model and three-arrow Beretta logo are shown), opening lever, trigger guard, locking shoulders, pins and forend release.
For this shotgun, Beretta used the most modern state-of-the-art 5-axis laser technology, capable of engraving rounded surfaces while maintaining perfect continuity in the design and reproducing, even in bas-relief areas, a precious contrast effect that typically characterizes premium shotguns.
The gun features a gold-plated single selective trigger. The selector is located inside the safety tang, allowing the user to select the barrel for the first shot with a simple quick sideways movement.
The ultra-reliable and sturdy ejection system is the tried-and-tested version used on the 680 platform. This venerable platform boasts more than a million guns in use over the course of more than 30 years.
