Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Beretta S687 EL Gold Pigeon represents the pinnacle of Beretta’s long-standing tradition of combining fine craftsmanship with field-proven performance. Built on the iconic 680-series platform, this over-under shotgun is renowned for its reliability, mechanical refinement, and timeless design. The action is forged from a single block of steel and fitted with precision-machined components, ensuring strength and smooth operation. Its boxlock receiver is both robust and elegant, featuring sideplates that provide additional space for embellishment without altering the proven mechanical design. What sets the S687 EL Gold Pigeon apart visually is its extensive gold-inlaid engraving. The sides of the receiver are marked with “P. Beretta” in gold, while the bottom of the frame and the sideplates display finely detailed gold game scenes, such as flushing pheasants or ducks in flight, framed by classic foliate scrollwork. These elements are not simply decorative—they reflect a lineage of European gunmaking excellence rooted in both aesthetic beauty and functional integrity.

From a performance standpoint, the S687 EL Gold Pigeon is more than just a showpiece. Its barrels are cold hammer-forged and chrome-lined, delivering exceptional shot patterning and long-term durability. The 687 EL variant is often equipped with interchangeable Mobilchoke or Optima chokes (depending on model year), giving shooters versatility across different hunting and sporting disciplines. The stock and forend are carved from high-grade walnut, hand-selected for figure and durability, and finished in a rich oil polish that enhances both grip and appearance. The 26 lines-per-inch hand-cut checkering offers precise tactile control, while the ergonomic design—including a well-balanced stock and responsive handling—makes the shotgun feel like an extension of the shooter. Weighing in at just the right point to provide quick target acquisition without excessive muzzle rise, the S687 EL Gold Pigeon excels in upland bird hunting and clay sports alike. Its fusion of functional excellence and ornate Italian artistry secures its place as a treasured shotgun for serious sportsmen and collectors alike.
