Description

The Silver Pigeon has been the go-to crossover over-and-under for more than 35 years, and the Vittoria Sporting takes that platform and fits it to shooters who never quite got along with a standard-dimension stock. Beretta trimmed the length of pull to about 13 3/4 inches, tightened the pistol grip radius, and raised the comb into a semi-Monte Carlo profile with 35/45/55 drop. The result is a gun that mounts naturally for women and smaller-framed shooters without giving up anything the 686 action is known for.

What Sets the Vittoria Sporting Apart

The stock is Grade 2 European walnut with an oil finish, and the B-Fast adjustable comb lets you dial in height, drop, and cast until your eye lines up right down the rib every time. An Extralight recoil pad takes the sting out of long practice sessions, which matters more in a sub-7-pound 20 gauge than most people expect. Up front, the 30-inch barrels give you the sight plane and follow-through that sporting clays reward, topped with a vented rib, white front bead, and steel mid bead.

Steelium Barrels and the 686 Action

Beretta builds these barrels from their tri-alloy steel using deep drilling, cold hammer forging, and vacuum distension, with a lengthened forcing cone that smooths out recoil and tightens patterns. The Optimabore HP profile is designed to pattern well with lead, steel, and high-performance loads alike. The 2024 update to the 686 also brought a redesigned top lever that opens and closes with noticeably less effort, a polished stainless steel trigger, and richer floral engraving that now flows across the receiver tail and hinge pins.

A 20 Gauge Clays Gun Worth Keeping

A 20 gauge with 30-inch tubes is a sweet setup for sporting clays. You get the long-barrel swing without the weight of a 12, and the 3-inch chambers keep it versatile enough to pull double duty on birds. With five flush Optima HP chokes and a hard case included, this is the kind of gun that gets handed down, not traded in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the Vittoria version of the Silver Pigeon I designed for?

Beretta developed the Vittoria stock dimensions with women and smaller-framed shooters in mind. It has a shorter 13 3/4 inch length of pull, a reduced pistol grip radius, and a slightly higher semi-Monte Carlo comb compared to the standard Silver Pigeon I. That said, plenty of shooters of all builds find the fit works well for them, especially with the adjustable comb.

What is the B-Fast system on the 686 Silver Pigeon I Vittoria Sporting?

B-Fast is Beretta's adjustable comb system built into the stock. It lets you fine-tune comb height, drop, and cast so your eye sits exactly where it should over the rib. Getting that fit dialed in is one of the biggest factors in breaking targets consistently, so it's a real advantage on a competition gun.

Can I shoot steel shot through the Steelium barrels?

Yes. The Optimabore HP barrel profile is designed and tested to pattern well with lead, steel, and high-performance steel loads. Just follow the standard guidance of using more open chokes with steel shot, and you're set for waterfowl or steel-only ranges.

Is a 30 inch barrel too long on a 20 gauge for sporting clays?

Not at all, it's a popular setup for a reason. The longer sight plane smooths out your swing and helps with follow-through on crossing and long targets, while the 20 gauge frame keeps overall weight around 6.3 to 7 pounds. You get 12 gauge-style handling dynamics in a lighter, softer-shooting package.
