chrispti Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hi, Im going to get myself a new/used o/u shotgun this year for pigeon and a bit of clay shooting I quite like the look of the 687 silver pig SC, has anyone got a view on them? I would be after a 12g 28 or 30'' barrels ( not sure which yet) multi choke version. Any comments or views would be appreciated Ta Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishleigh Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 great guns, nice to use on clays, aswell as shooting pigeons from the hide, they also deal with high pheasant and partridge very well! 28inch barrels seem to be a nice all round size Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dicko Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I had one a 30" fixed choke for a couple of months but got offered a good deal on a Cynergy hunter light.I paid £1050 for it and got £1200 px. Nice gun but i do like my Cynergys.Its the lower one on the picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rimfire4969 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 I have the 28" multichoke version, i use it mainly rough & pigeon shooting with the odd go at wildfowling and clays. I love this gun does everything i need of it and very nice to shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerseaDavid Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 My dad uses the 687 silver pigeon 12g with 28" barrels for pigeons and clays and it works perfectly. It has 1/2 and 3/4 chokes and he payed £600 for it and it had only fired 100 shots. I use a 686 and we both can recommend them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CEREALTHRILLER Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 You've got to try a few guns out. I know you like the look of the gun but untill you have the gun in your hands you can't make any descisions The feel of the gun and how well it fits you is what's important- stock and forend shape, proportions and dimensions :blink: Go into a shop or clay ground and try a few out and even better shoot with them if possible Then make your choice Have fun.

RC45 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 I bought one. I prefer 28", just suits me better. I went for the multichoke as I might want to play around with chokes when I get better, also a multichoke is more saleable on the second hand market. They also hold their value very well.

mudpatten Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Have a go with mine. The only drawback might be that the factory stock has been replaced with a much modified one from a trap gun and extended to 15 1/4", and the extension is glued as well as screwed. If all else fails at least it`ll give you a general idea of the balance and handling. Borrow it for a while then replace it with your new one. The missus need never know you`ve spent the money.

Scarpa Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 My dad has a SP game with 28" barrels, I have the slightly heavier SPIII sporting with 30"s as I shoot more clays than he does. Both fantastic guns... love em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjlfishing Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 i have one in 20 bore 28 inch fixed choke and i love it does the highest pheasants down to clays pigeons etc dont know about the 12 s but the 20 is as light as a feather and very fast handle ing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim145 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I've got the 687 Silver Pig III 28" Game MC and I love it! Fits me like a glove, fast handling and looks great too. I've used it for clays and rough shooting its never been found wanting. I've seen lots of other guns that look or feel great, but I've never regretted buying the Beretta B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjlfishing Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 i love the 20 and if needed can fire 32 gramers for high pheasant etc but is ideal for pigeoning with ounce loads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
