Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Beretta 687 Silver Pigeon III Sporting is the competition-focused evolution of Beretta’s iconic 680-series over-and-under platform, purpose-built to meet the demands of clay target shooters who require a blend of balance, durability, and refined aesthetics. Retaining the low-profile, bulletproof locking system that has made the 680 series a favorite among competitive and field shooters alike, the Sporting variant features carefully tuned barrel lengths—commonly offered in 30" or 32"—for a smoother, more deliberate swing on crossing targets. These barrels are constructed from Beretta’s Steelium Optima-Bore HP steel, precision-engineered for consistent shot patterns and paired with the Optima-Choke HP system for maximum versatility across sporting clays, trap, and skeet disciplines. The extended forcing cones and back-bored design further enhance pattern efficiency and reduce felt recoil. The stock and fore-end are crafted from select, oil-finished walnut with precision laser-cut checkering, delivering both visual appeal and a sure grip under competition conditions. The receiver showcases Beretta’s upgraded floral and game scene engraving, executed with a depth and clarity that complements the shotgun’s premium positioning.

In terms of handling and performance, the 687 Silver Pigeon III Sporting is optimized for long days on the range, with weight distribution and balance adjusted to support smooth target transitions and consistent follow-through. The selective single trigger offers a crisp, predictable break, and the tang-mounted safety doubles as a barrel selector, allowing quick adjustments on the line. Its low-profile receiver reduces muzzle rise, enabling faster target reacquisition and tighter shot-to-shot timing during doubles or fast pairs. While the Silver Pigeon III Sporting retains the rugged reliability of Beretta’s field models, it benefits from competition-oriented ergonomics that minimize shooter fatigue and maximize consistency over hundreds of rounds. This is a shotgun that blends traditional Italian gunmaking artistry with the mechanical precision needed for serious clay competition, making it equally suited for the dedicated amateur and the seasoned tournament shooter who values both performance and heritage in their sporting arms.
