Purchased a 687 SP III Sporting 2 barrel set in 410/28 in 2020 and liked it so much I purchased a duplicate set in 2023 to have a spare for shooting tournaments. BTW, the Fit for the SP III is identical to the Fit for a Browning 525 Sporting. Shot my very first 25 in Skeet with the Browning. Unfortunately I found out that I was just too old to shoot a 4 gun tournament with a tubed 12 gauge, got to the last event, the 410, and shot a 23 on the first box but only hit 8 on the last box because I could not move the gun. Decided to go light and the Beretta has proven to the smartest gun purchase I've ever made.

The MicroCore pads are very good at recoil reduction , and the fact that various thicknesses are available is a easy way to change length of pull . The problem with them is they are fragile and tear/wear easily. Little chunks come out when and if the gun butt is rested on a rough surface , like the floor of a gun safe or a duck blind or any concrete surface .

A year ago I was in the process of buying a nice over and under for upland hunting in Pennsylvania, US (nice being subjective of course) and came across your channel during my research. Enjoy all the topics your cover from various firearms, gun makers, and subjects that will never affect me like hunting and firearm regulations in the U.K. Thoroughly enjoyed the Badger culling and should pheasant releases be regulated videos. I ended up getting a 20 gauge Beretta 691 field and except for the fore end being a a pain to remove I really like it.If the new silver pigeon 3 was available last year I would have scrambled to get the extra cash to get this model. It appears to me that with the release of the silver pigeon 3 and the redesign of the SP 1 that the 690 field series is becoming a redundant line. I wonder if Beretta will phase out the 690 field lineup.

I adore the SP3 28 small frame I bought in 04’ and I got extremely lucky on the wood. If you saw it, you’d never believe it was original. After many, many hundreds of birds, and thousands of rounds, it’s never let me down. As much as I love it, I have strayed from her, and tend to gravitate toward my S57E 20 Bores much of the time now. Amazingly, their frames are only about .004” wider than hers. In 20 gauge no less. The engraving on these 57 guns is heads and shoulders above all the standard 687 models of today, and they have charm and handling characteristics I’d say much the same about. It’s obvious they gave birth to the 680s but it’s a crying shame they quit making them. Going back a little more, the ASE guns put them all to shame. Enjoyed this review, new to your channel, and wanted to suggest much brighter lighting for them. No Idea why you’d review a gun in such low light.

Just to add - I bought a new SP3, I have an old SP5 and so I wanted a steel proofed gun, and it’s been utter rubbish. Finish is peeling and flaking off the wood (the new gloss finish), the ejectors were out of time and the wood to metal fit is laughable. Also the new engraving looks good but feels rough and unfinished. Safe to say I’ll be getting rid of it.

This gun looks awesome. I wasn't too fond of the wood on the SP1. I do wish it came with an oval like the older SP3. Questions: 1 - was this the 28 inch barrel version? 2 - is this currently or will it be available in America? 3 - is there a model number or something to make sure I order the right one?

Nice review. I have to say though I much prefer the older style engraving over laser-etching. Sure, you can be more intricate with the designs but that's not necessarily a plus. I think a simpler design that allows for deeper, well-defined engraving gives the gun a classier look that's more in line with its old-world aesthetic. "Less is more" as they say. The newer design looks too 'modern' as opposed to something vintage. Just by looking at them side-by-side on the table it was easy to see which 687 was the older and which was the newer.
