1983 Beretta 686 Special 12 Gauge O/U Shotgun - 28" Vented Barrel w/Fixed M/IM - Excellent Condition

Description:
OVERVIEW
The 1983 Beretta 686 Special 12 Gauge O/U is highly regarded for its legendary 680-series box lock action, low profile, and conical locking lugs. 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]
