A few hundred rounds starts to loosen it up, but unlike poor quality guns a gun of this caliber (I know it’s a gauge… best I could do…) will maintain its solid lock up once broken in. The gun is reliable, accurate, and quite attractive for its price. The auto safety was new to me, but I quickly changed my field habits and it has made me a safer hunter. Simply put, unless you’re looking for a much higher grade stock and engraving, this gun will meet your needs. I hesitated to spend $2000+ on a gun I know I will get muddy, wet, and abused - but I don’t regret it.

At its heart, it has the best-in-class 686 action, which is compact and low-profile while being extremely strong. Besides 12 and gauge, this shotgun is also available with beautifully scaled-down actions for 28 gauge and .410, for a true premium-grade experience. Whether you take it to an upland hunt or to the clay range, the Silver Pigeon I gives you the flawless performance and the classic looks of a Beretta. Featuring classic lines, the most-durable action on the market and the flexibility of the Beretta Mobil-Choke system, the 686 Silver Pigeon I was designed to last through generations of hunters.<br />\n<br />\nNatural Pointability, Swing<br />\nThe Silver Pigeon I is built on the legendary 686 action, a long-standing favorite among hunters and competitive shooters. It features two conical locking lugs at mid-action, right between the barrels, giving it great locking strength and durability while keeping the action’s profile considerably lower. The advantage is that the eye of the shooter is a lot closer to the plane of his supporting hand: considerably better swing and hand-eye coordination.<br />\n<br />\nThe 12- or 20-gauge Silver Pigeon has impressed countless hunters for its efficient dimensions and fast handling. But if you see and bring to your shoulder a Silver Pigeon I in 28 gauge or .410, you will be doubly impressed by the premium feel of the petite actions. These are scaled down to fit the smaller gauges without any extra weight or bulkiness--something that you normally find in shotguns prices several times as much as this.<br />\n<br />\nFlawless Fit and Finish<br />\n\nFeatures:\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Interchangeable Chokes\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Low profile receiver\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Tang Safety and Barrel Selector\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Cold-Hammer Forged Barrel\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Selected Walnut\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Scroll Engraving\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Schnabel Fore-End\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\nSpecifications:\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Chamber Length: 3"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Gauge: 12\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Barrel Length: 28"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Rib: 6x6\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Choke: MC\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Lylium: Y\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Model Year: 2020\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Model #: J686FJ8\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>UPC: 082442915050\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Choke: Optima-Choke HP\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n"
