Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Renowned among competitive rimfire marksmen and target enthusiasts, the Beretta Model 87 Target stands as a masterpiece of Italian precision handgun engineering. Built on a full-size frame derived from Beretta's famous Cheetah family, the 87 Target features a heavy 5.9-inch match barrel housed entirely within an integrated aluminum barrel shroud and counterweight assembly. Featuring a full-length top Weaver scope rail milled directly into the rigid barrel shroud, optics or red dots remain stationary while the lightweight rear slide cycles beneath, allowing rapid target recovery without optical movement. Outfitted with an ultra-smooth single-action target trigger, fully adjustable rear sight, front target blade, ambidextrous frame safety levers, and checkered composite grip panels with Beretta trident medallions, this handgun delivers exceptional accuracy. Complete with its original factory outer cardboard box with matching serial label, inner blue hard case, owner's instruction manual, cleaning tools, hex keys, cable lock, and (2) factory 10-round single-stack magazines, this Italian-made Beretta 87 Target is an investment-grade rimfire collectible.
This fine, highly complete target pistol, serial number C53657U, is an authentic Beretta Model 87 Target manufactured in Gardone Val Trompia, Italy. Chambered in .22 LR, this pistol features a 5.9-inch heavy match barrel, full barrel counterweight shroud, top Weaver optics rail, target sights, black composite grips, (2) factory 10-round magazines, cleaning tools, paper manual, and original factory box packaging with matching serial label. Preserved in pristine, near-mint condition throughout with clean matte surfaces, sharp grip checkering, smooth slide cycling, crisp single-action target trigger break, and a mirror-bright .22 caliber bore with razor-sharp rifling. Offering verified Italian craftsmanship, top Weaver optics versatility, and complete factory packaging, this Beretta 87 Target represents a premier investment-grade rimfire target handgun acquisition.
