This Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon I is a two-barrel set: an over-under field gun with 28-inch vent-rib barrels and removable chokes, chambered for 3-inch shells, plus a second pair of 28-inch blued vent-rib barrels, also 3-inch chambered, so one receiver covers both 28 gauge and 20 gauge. The receiver is engraved stainless, the barrels are blued, and the checkered wood stock and forend are set at a 14.75-inch length of pull. The photo is a stock image.

For a New Jersey shooter this is an upland and clays gun first. The 20-gauge barrels are the ones that fall inside the state's deer rule, which allows 20 through 10 gauge with slugs or buckshot, and a two-shot over-under never exceeds the three-shell limit. The 28-gauge barrels make a light-recoiling set for skeet and small game. One stock, two gauges, and no need for a second shotgun to cover both.
