Beretta Silver 687 Pigeon 5 Sporter Shotgun Review

[@RobertLinthicum]

I own two Silver Pigeons, 686 grade 1, both right hand. I am a left-handed shooter with a bony, narrow face. The right-hander fits me better than the southpaw model, which was unexpected. If you have a broad or fleshy face, I would expect different fitment.

As much as I like Beretta I'm yet to find one that is comfortable to shoot . Therefore I'm a browning guy.

[@IRateGuns]

after being a Beretta guy for years I'm now making the switch to Browning.

@@IRateGuns I have a Citori in addition to Berettas, and it is great. Different animal, just as much fun.

Still looking to buy my first shotgun. At the range I've shot 525 browning and Beretta SP 1. After around 750 rounds each I tend to like the feeling of the Beretta more. Even though I don't prefer the loading action since shell sometimes get blocked by the top part of the action release. Do you have any advice for Beretta models? I was thinking about the Beretta SP 3.

[@IRateGuns]

the sp3 is a good gun, i have one. if you are looking for something for clay and game its a good choice. if you plan to do motley clays i would look for a 690 action gun like the 691,692 or 694

I've just come to Beretta Ultralight from Miroku MK38 for the weight and am pleasingly surprised at the quality.

[@IRateGuns]

Glad it’s working for you, I’m going the other was, beretta to browning, I’m finding the added weight is helping my shooting

Bought a 687 grade five recently after wanting one for many years and sold two perfectly good brownings and a Remington 7400 in order to make the purchase. I couldn’t be more disappointed as bottom ejector failed to function properly right out of the box. I returned to the dealer where purchased and he convinced me to “ just shoot it it will be fine”. Well it wasn’t and isn’t fine . Burrs on the ejector lugs ( right side , bottom barrel only) and metal shavings peeling off which literally caused deep scratching in the barrel block . This is my first beretta but I’m no novice firearm owner and I my be the unlucky 1/10000 but the quality of this firearm has ruined the purchase experience for me and I certainly wouldn’t recommend one to anyone.

Love your videos, just started following you. Looking for my first trap gun....

[@IRateGuns]

Thanks, I’ve been shooting a browning 525 trap one for about a year now, excellent gun

[@herrmauser1066]

nice shotgun but Beretta needs to lengthen the LOP on their stocks. Otherwise a great shotgun.

[@IRateGuns]

Surly that’s why they have interchangeable pads?
