This durable predecessor to modern Silver Pigeon models is prized by hunters and target shooters for its smooth swinging balance, easy maintenance, and overall longevity.  Real-World Perspectives Shooters frequently praise the timeless craftsmanship of these early 680-series platforms, noting their ability to handle massive round counts over the decades.  “Both actions are the same—super strong. The Silver Pigeon is not only functional but beautiful, with engraving on the receiver, blued barrels, and a walnut stock.”   While the platform is universally praised, buyers often stress the importance of ensuring the gun's dimensions and fit align with your frame.   SPECIFICATIONS The 1983 Beretta 686 Special 12 Gauge is a renowned, durable Over/Under (O/U) shotgun. Built on Beretta’s legendary low-profile 680-series action, it features dual conical locking lugs and a coin-finished receiver with delicate scroll engraving. The shotgun is favored for upland hunting and clay shooting. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Gauge: 12 Gauge Action: Over/Under Break Action; dual locking lugs, low-profile receiver Chamber: 2 3/4" Barrel Lengths: Typically 26”, 28”, or 30” Weight: ~6 lbs 8 oz to 7 lbs 6 oz (depending on barrel length and wood density) Chokes: Fixed chokes  Modified over Improved Modified Trigger: Single selective trigger Safety: Automatic or manual safety with an integrated barrel selector Stock & Forend: Checkered select walnut; generally offered in pistol grip or Prince of Wales style  Lock-up: The dual locking lugs are positioned in the middle of the action rather than utilizing a top cross-bolt. This enables the receiver to remain sleek, slim, and low-profile.  Ejection: Features automatic ejectors that reliably kick out spent shells. Balance: The point of balance typically sits perfectly at the hinge-pin, allowing for quick pointing and smooth swings, making it an excellent shotgun for both beginners and veterans.
