Owners of the Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon I in 20 Gauge consistently note the walnut stock as a highlight, with the fit and finish drawing positive comments from shooters who prefer traditional aesthetics over synthetic alternatives. The 30-inch barrel is favored by those using it in sporting clays and similar disciplines.

The 686 Silver Pigeon I has a long track record and owners frequently reference the reliability of Beretta's over/under platform as a baseline expectation rather than a selling point. Trigger feel and balance at the 20 Gauge weight split opinion, with some finding it ideal and others preferring the heavier swing of 12 Gauge variants.

Value is a recurring topic. The silver receiver and walnut combination put this model at a price point that some consider fair for an entry into the Silver Pigeon line, while others feel comparable options from other makers offer similar wood quality at lower cost.
