I have one in Multi Choke. It’s a joy to shoot and attracts a lot of attention. All good.

Beautiful gun. Thank you for the review.

I’m on saving up for one of these lovely guns, halfway there now.... can’t wait to get one

This is very helpful and instructive. Thank you.

Nice, thank you for the professional review.👍👍👍🍺😁

About 10 years ago I walked into a pawn shop and they had a beautiful shotgun. I was not familiar with the Berettas then. Bottom line for $1500 US I walked out with a 1989 687EELL Skeet with fully adjustable stock and after market thin wall chokes. I fell in love with Berettas. That was my first EELL. My latest are a DT10 Combo and a SV10 Perennia III. I just added the 32" X-trap barrel to the SV10 so it is now a "Combo" . I really like the bird patterns of engraving.

Good looking gun. Nice video...

Not much into berettas or pimping but this is beautiful, I think it's the Celtic style 😎

Okay, I'd go one of these over a Miroku,

I love that magnificent case. My Silver Pigeon1 would look very good in it!

What a beautiful shotgun. I would love to see one in person.

Already have 2 Beretta’s..... do I want another.... you bet. But I’d like to try the ACS against a DT11 sporter

Please can you do a video comparing this gun and the EELL diamond pigeon. Would be very helpful

I NEED THIS GUN!!

I wish I could afford a shotgun! You're lucky to be around so many beautiful guns take care

Spot on Sir! I'd opt for the fixed choke gun anyway but especially nice in this model.

Nice gun, but I would be disappointed if it turned up with that wood. I do like a well figured walnut stock.

The case looks like my blaser cases. I guess they got a good deal with negrini.

I would love to see a review and your thoughts on the Beretta 686 Black Onyx Pro.

I actually own two benelli rifiles and a beretta one, This is like the old one i own lol

For $16,000 I' ll take a Perazzi MX8 if they still make it. Great sporting gun with 32 inch barrels. 32 inch barrels are good for long precise shots- 75 or 85 yards. We used to shoot trap from the parking lot of our club 60 yards behind the trap house . Shrll only cost two bucks a box to reload so we shot a whole flat at a time, sometimes three flats a week.

What would you go for guys Miroku MKII or this Beretta 687 Classic?

Great video! Anyone know what the song at the end was?

Is the stock stronger than a normal one... Cus it seems weak as it got 4legs now... ?? Pls help.. i wanaa go for dt11 eell and shoot trap with it like hell

Stunning looking gun I wouldn’t mind a eell in my cabinet one day . Great review as always 👍

Yes, Nice, too nice to scratch up in the field

Beretta site says that this shotgun hand engraved, i think that is not fully hand engraved, only little pieces. What you say about this?

would i get a similar looking wood grade if i order a beretta DT11 L TRAP...??

Hello Jonathan! First of all thank you very much for your nice videos and sharing all your expertise with is on KZread! Great videos, chapeau! If somebody could just help me out with a question regarding the prince of wales grip. At the Moment I am shooting a 686 Silver Pigeon 1 Sporting and would like to Upgrade to the 687 EELL. I definitely dont like the english style stocks without any pistol grip on SXS shotguns. Unfortunately I never had the opportunity to hold a 687 EELL Classic in my hands. How is the grip angle of this gun in comparison to my 686 SP1 Sporting. Would you recommend the gun or not. I want to use it on the clay ground for most of the time and enjoy the classic extra lusso feeling 😉

Good summary - A Range Rover which is as reliable as a Golf !!. Not only that but it doesn't break down like a Range Rover !!!. Not so keen on the balance point however but short barrels etc - What was the overall weight ??.

I think it is rather extraordinary that Beretta would allow a "Quality" gun out of the factory that has such a terrible balance. Granted weight can he added to the stock but then you have a heavy slim gun which is incongruous....It looks lovely though. 😂

I have a 686 beretta silver pigeon 1 that i have bought last summer, after a few hunts it has stopped firing the second cartridge. I have sent it to beretta in Italy. My question is, have you ever encountered this type of defect regarding this new beretta model? thank you.

Regularly yes. The inertia block just needs to be regulated to a lighter cartridge

Sometimes you pick up a gun and take it shooting. And, then sometimes the gun picks you up, and takes you shooting.

I certainly would not mind being picked up by this one if it paid the tab.

I have had nothing but issues with this one. Customer service in the USA is very bad. I purchased one of these (new) based on your review and it has been a nightmare. The stock had tooling marks from the stock copying machine. It had to be shipped back for wet sand and then re-apply the oil finish. It was again shipped back as there was an issue with Lower barrel firing. It came back and again the lower barrel would not fire 25% of the time. It is now back at Beretta USA for the 3rd time. It is Extra Extra Lousy Lousy. You can see a video of the issue on my profile.

I bought a 20 bore and found that the engraving was lovely as was the quality of the wood. I have been calling the grip a Prince of Whales but agree it is not quite the same. The 20 bore came with 5 choke tubes, 28” bls and chambered for both 2 3/4” and 3” shells. I have a Beretta Imperiale grade 12 bore cased 2 bl set, my Father bought in Italy several years ago which I love, but for a 20 bore this is an elegant little gun. I love your videos so please keep them coming. How about doing some on my other favorite shot gun the Piotti

Just as beautiful as the 687 silver pigeon and I bet it performs identically. I’m not paying almost 8 times the price for some pretentious “hand engraved” squiggles.

Is there a point at which guns become style over substance? There must be a point at which the price charged for a gun with nicer looking wood and different engraving is no different to its cheaper alternative which is the same gun underneath the clothing.

I've been saying the same for many years. You can either shoot or you cannot. Having an expensive gun doesn't make you shoot better. Once you get above about £2500 you won't get better. It's just a case of finding the right fit and comfort for you. For me I shoot DTL with a Browning Ultra XTR which was about €3300 when new 16 yrs ago. It's like a millionaire spending £100k on a pair of Purdeys. Looks good and gives him a boner but won't make him shoot any better.

Hmmm🤔 Sounds to me like another mass produced gun... 🤔 Please do not miss understand, I am certainly not opposed to mass produced guns. I am opposed to makers using mass production techniques such as laser engraving to dress up an otherwise typical or average gun and then selling at a vastly higher premium under the guise that it is in someway special... It just reaks of marketing techniques to lure unsuspecting buyers... 🥂

Well, those are still hand engraved by an artist.

Not really a Beretta man but it is nice to look at, however for me a triumph of style over substance - a very pretty silver pigeon that is front heavy, but somebody will want to Spend £8000 on it.

8000 Pounds works out to nearly A$16,000 here in Australia , I bought a brand new MIROKU MK70, DELUXE EDITION G5 SPORTER ,12 GAUGE, 30" BARRELS, 5X INVECTOR PLUS CHOKES , GRADE 5 STOCK & FOREND, DELUXE HAND ENGRAVED RECEIVER for A$2749.00 to my mind a much better gun (hate skinny pistol grips) and certainly much better value. Sorry but as far I'm concerned Beretta's are way over priced and certainly not any better than Miroku's. Mind you, you can pay upwards of A$12000.00 here for a Miroku G13 Custom if that is your want.

That is true…..at the end of the day it’s still just a plain ole 687. However, the 680 series has historically has been a proven design. This gun fits a niche for someone who is looking for a reasonably priced gun that is very pretty. Personally I think for the price you would be much better off buying a used higher end gun without all the engraving.

Very much disappointed, no stand on barrel test... But seriously it was a bit hard to tell because you didn't get the camera even remotely close enough to display the engraving considering you spoke about it for about 9 minutes.

Disappointing how poor a silver pigeon’s engraving is compared to a EELL that sat on the exact same machine. A real shame they sandbag it on purpose.

The new 687 SP3 engraving is nice I think

Please put some baize on your table to protect your guns .

"So new - I'm not appreciating it yet" - very polite! The plain fact is; the birds don't look right on this gun! I have an older EELL with two pheasant on one side and a woodcock on the other, and they were clearly done by an artist who could draw birds. The birds on this 2020 model are not so well drawn and the gun looks like a cheap copy. The same goes for the stock - what a horrible piece of walnut! No figuring or classic wavy lines, and it looks like a large filled knot - which will eventually fall apart (if it is). Shame.
