Beretta 687 EELL Classic: Premium Looks and Performance

The 687 EELL Classic is the top of the line of Berettas 680series overunder shotguns. It features side plates that act as extra canvas for the lavish handchased engraving, as well as a speciallyselected walnut stock that gives it a true heirloom quality. But while it certainly figures well while on display, the Classics worth as a game gun is equally striking. Weighing about 7 lbs (12ga version), and with the point of balance right at the hinge pin, it is a shotgun that comes up naturally to the shoulder while still having enough of a lively feeling forward of the supporting hand. This is an overunder with the feel and allure of a classic, for the discriminating hunter who appreciates all the finer points of a perfectlymade gun.
