Owners of Beretta's Silver Pigeon-series over/unders often point to fit and finish as a strength. The 687 name in particular has a reputation for tight tolerances and a smooth break-open action that holds up to regular field use over years of hunting seasons.

In the field, a 28-inch barrel length on an O/U like this is generally described as a good middle ground: enough sighting plane for going-away shots on birds without feeling front-heavy on longer walks. The rib bead setup keeps target acquisition fast for wingshooting, though some shooters prefer to add their own choke tubes or aftermarket pads to fine-tune fit.

Value opinions are mixed. Beretta O/Us carry a higher price than many pump or semi-auto field guns, and buyers weigh that against the double-gun handling and resale reputation the Silver Pigeon line holds. Aftermarket support for chokes, stocks and recoil pads is generally easy to find given how common the platform is among upland hunters.
