Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon 1 Hunting Left OCHP

The Silver Pigeon 1 hunting shotgun is the most popular over-and-under shotgun from Beretta, with over 3 million units sold.
Equally sought after by sports shooters and hunters, it is often found at shooting ranges. The Silver Pigeon 1 in left-hand configuration features a left-angled stock and a pistol grip with a palm swell for left-handed shooters. Characteristic of the elegant shotgun is the low and slim receiver and the outstanding mechanical reliability.Barrel, Choke, and SightThe newly developed Silver Pigeon 1 hunting shotgun is equipped with Steelium Optima-Bore HP barrels. The cold-hammered barrels made from triple-alloyed Beretta steel are characterized by high-precision deep drilling and vacuum finishing. The special Optima-Bore-HP barrel geometry with an 80 mm transition cone is designed for optimal gas pressure behavior for both steel and lead shot. The coverage of the shot patterns is very uniform and of high density. 5 included OCHP chokes allow fine-tuning for all hunting distances as well as adaptation to various hunting and sporting shot templates. All hunting models are equipped with a ventilated 6 mm sight rail with a nickel-silver bead, enabling precise target acquisition while minimizing coverage of the game body.Receiver and Locking MechanismThe floral laser engravings and the raised Beretta logo on the receiver visually elevate the hunting shotgun to the top class. Another elegant detail is the gold-colored single trigger. On the safety slide, there is a switch that determines the selection of the barrel for the first shot with a lateral movement. Also noteworthy are the stable side-lock mechanism and the extremely robust ejector system, which has reliably served in the 680 models for over 30 years.StockThe Beretta Silver Pigeon 1 hunting shotgun features a stock made of oiled walnut wood. The forend with a schnabel and the pistol grip are equipped with fine checkering. This ensures a high grip even in wet conditions. The Microcore® stock pads allow for individual adjustment of the stock length. The length of the buttstock is 36.8 mm, including the supplied 15 mm stock pad. Stock pads of 10 mm, 20 mm, and 25 mm are available as options. This allows the stock length to be adjusted from 36.3 to 37.8 mm. Additionally, the pads dampen recoil and provide a pleasant shooting experience.Caliber: 12/76Included in the delivery: 5 OCHP chokes (cylinder, ¼, ½, ¾, 1/1), choke key, oil bottle, sling swivel, transport caseTechnical Data:
