Beretta white onyx

Hi there could anyone tell me if the white onyx is basically a silver pigeon with different cosmetic appearance my mate shoots with my silver pigeon but likes the look of the onyx

I find the balance suits me better than the pig.

Pretty much yes. The Action is slightly deeper on the Onyx and the Wood is a different design but inside they are pretty much the same action.

All 686/687 and post 2000 682 variants use exactly the same action although some were assembled in the custom shop. There were so many Silver Pigeon versions up until the current SP-1 came out that it's hard to be specific, but in general the post 2004 SP sporters had the lighter Optima barrels but strangely, in the UK, the White Onyx sporter, like the game version, had Mobil barrels despite the fact that they fitted Optimas to the WO everywhere else in the world. Optima barrelled 6XX models had slightly different fitting forend wood but otherwise the stocks are readily interchangeable - should you feel the need to change.

The White Onyx sporter didn't sell well because it came along at the same time as the original 686E (pre EVO) which had exactly the same paper specs as the WO and cost about the same but was built in the custom shop alongside the 682 Gold E.

The White Onyx is a 686 Beretta. It has it's own unique styling but, as long as you compare sporters with sporters or game game with game, that's the only difference from contemporary Mobil barrelled 686 Silver Pigeons.
