At the core of the 687 Silver Pigeon III Sporting is our legendary 687-series receiver. This lowprofile,
positive-locking, low-maintenance action ensures that your off-hand stays as close as possible
to the bore-axis; in this manner, whatever you point to is exactly where the shot goes. The
receiver is embellished with a scroll and game scene designed by our most experienced Master
Engravers in Gardone, Italy. The way this pattern is executed on the receiver makes it vir tually as
striking as if it had been hand-engraved, but without the price tag to match.

The strong, reliable, nickel-based finish receiver of the new 687 Silver Pigeon III Sporting is enhanced by nice game scene engravings. The 12 gauge barrels come with the exclusive Optima-Bore® internal profile with lengthened forcing cone that improves shot pattern distribution and reduces felt recoil. A wide competition rib and either a white target or a luminous front sight come standard. The 20 and 28 gauge versions mount barrels with Mobilchoke ® tubes. The stock and the Schnabel fore-end are cut from superior quality walnut, and built to withstand a lifetime of use and to guarantee a perfect balance and quick target acquisition. The fine checkering, and the embedded oval plate for initials, give this gun a touch of elegance. A gold single-selective trigger, a rubber recoil pad and a beautiful yet sturdy gun case complete the offer. On request the shotgun can be equipped with Truglo ® front sight and Gel•Tek recoil pad.
