Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon 1 Hunting Vittoria / Left OCHP

The Silver Pigeon 1 Hunting Vittoria OHCP over-and-under shotgun from the 686 series by Beretta is specially designed for female hunters and slender hunters.
The Monte Carlo stock, with a high comb and less drop, is optimally tailored to the anatomy of female shooters. Generally, the distance between the eye and the cheekbone is smaller in women than in men. The high comb allows female shooters to look relaxed over the rib without having to stretch their necks. The lower pitch angle compared to standard stocks additionally guarantees an optimal fit of the shotgun in the shoulder. The pistol grip is specifically shaped for smaller hands and is positioned closer to the trigger.

Action and Locking Mechanism
Characteristic of the elegant shotgun is the low and slim action and the outstanding mechanical reliability. The floral laser engravings and the raised Beretta logo on the action 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 selector that determines the barrel for the first shot with a lateral movement. Also noteworthy are the stable side lock and the extremely robust ejector system, which has reliably served in the 680 models for over 30 years.

Barrel, Choke, and Sight
The newly developed 686 Silver Pigeon 1 Hunting is equipped with Steelium Optima-Bore HP barrels. The cold-hammered barrels made of triple-alloyed Beretta steel feature 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, allowing for precise target acquisition with minimal coverage of the game body.

Stock
The Beretta Silver Pigeon 1 Hunting features a stock made of oiled walnut wood. The forend with a schnabel and the pistol grip are finished 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 35.5 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 35 to 36.5 mm. The pads dampen recoil and provide a pleasant shooting experience.
