The Beretta 687 Silver Pigeon III Vittoria is a break-open over/under 12 gauge shotgun built for fast handling in the field. It carries a 28-inch barrel and a 3-inch chamber, so it cycles a wide range of 12 gauge hunting loads, and it uses simple bead sights for quick target acquisition on moving game. This Vittoria configuration is set up for hunting use in the field, carrying the Silver Pigeon III's over/under layout.

Owners of the Beretta 687 line consistently praise the fit and finish of these over/under shotguns, and the Silver Pigeon III Vittoria carries that reputation forward. The build feels solid in hand, and the action locks up tight shot after shot, which owners credit for long-term durability with regular care.

In the field, the 687 handles well for upland hunting, with the 28-inch barrel giving a balanced swing that many shooters find natural on crossing and flushing birds. A few owners note that a double-barrel gun demands more attention to fit and stock length than a pump or semi-auto, so patterning and a proper fitting matter more here.

On value, the Beretta 687 sits at a premium price point among over/under shotguns, and most buyers who choose it are doing so specifically for the Beretta name and build quality rather than shopping strictly on price. Aftermarket chokes and stock accessories are widely available given how established the 687 line is.
