Beretta 687 silver pigeon

[Mark B]

Hi

Hope people can help. Currently looking at used Beretta's 687 Silver Pigeon S. 

Is there anything that I should be looking out for with these ?

Regards

Mark

The 68 series are quite probably the most durable and reliable guns ever made.

A very good gun to buy used. Usual stuff, look for cracks in the stock (happens with every brand). Make sure the forend fits tightly and that the top lever isn't parallel to the rib. All curable of course..

You'll not go far wrong with a good one, but I'd say try before you buy. If you can, also try the Miroku MK38 and/or Browning 525 or even a CG Summit before parting with your hard earned. 

Good luck with whatever you decide :good:

Pop the forend off and try and wiggle the barrels while holding the action, they should be tight with the action with the forend off.  Really good solid guns though.

Thank you for all your replies so far, very much appreciated

they would be just as good if they used beretta firing pins.
