Beretta Silver 687 Pigeon 5 Sporter Shotgun Review 

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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