Product Overview
THE ULTIMATE EVOLUTION OF THE LEGEND
The Silver Pigeon evolves with the new V version. A beautiful symbol of efficiency and reliability inherited from the 680 platform, with minimum maintenance requirements.
Characterised by a new look, together with a superior wood grade, hunters will love this gun even more. The fine engravings are made using state-of-the-art 5-axis laser technology and feature deep scroll engravings with modern floral details. The engravings are further embellished by a special sparkle in the bas-relief areas, creating a contrast effect, and highlighting the deep scroll motifs.
The exquisite gloss finish enhances the grain of the stunning grade 3 wood and protects it from rain and humidity. Superior quality envelops every feature of the Silver Pigeon V. Combined with superior features are the excellent ballistics guaranteed by the Steelium Optima-bore HP tri-alloy steel barrels. The new model features a gold-plated single selective trigger located inside the safety tang it allows the user to select the barrel for the first shot with a simple quick sideways movement.
Available in the Hunting or Sporting versions in gauges 12 and 20, the 687 Silver Pigeon V is the shotgun for those who like to stand out with a gun that has never stopped evolving over the course of 30 years. An icon of quality and elegance; almost at the same level of a premium gun.

The pistol grip stock, available in right and left-handed configurations, and the forend are made from selected class 3 walnut wood and covered with a lustrous gloss finish that is resistant to rain and humidity and highlights the precious wood grain. The stock and forend are also finely checkered for an improved grip. As an optional, adjustable B-Fast stock is available.
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 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.
The 687 Silver Pigeon V features the famous Steelium barrels in tri-alloy steel, available in 28”–30” (for the Hunting version) and 30”-32” (for the Sporting version) lengths, characterized by deep drilling, cold hammer forging, and vacuum relief.
The special Optima-bore HP geometry, with its 80-millimeter double forcing cone, is designed to offer outstanding performance and always perfect and uniform patterns with every type of ammunition, reducing at the same time felt recoil.
The 70mm Optima-choke HP chokes are also perfect with steel shots.
The windowed top rib (6x6 mm for the Hunting version and 10x8 mm for the Sporting version) with accurate anti-reflective checkering and a spherical steel front sight is a clear reference to the most exclusive Beretta over-and-under shotguns. An intermediary sight can be fitted on the Sporting version.
