Beretta 687 EELL Classic: Premium Looks and Performance
The 687 EELL Classic is the top of the line of Beretta’s 680-series over-under shotguns. It features side plates that act as extra canvas for the lavish hand-chased engraving, as well as a specially-selected walnut stock that gives it a true heirloom quality. But while it certainly figures well while on display, the Classic’s worth as a game gun is equally striking. Weighing about 7 lbs. (12-ga 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 over-under with the feel and allure of a classic, for the discriminating hunter who appreciates all the finer points of a perfectly-made gun.

Premium Hand-Chased Engraving, Stock
The full side plates of the 687 EELL feature a super-fine classic game scene, and are enhanced by intricately detailed motifs of branches, leaves and flowers which extend to the trigger plate, trigger guard and fore-end iron lever. The proportions of the engraving blend wonderfully with the dimensions of the shotgun, giving you the sense of a work of art within a work of art. The stock is a classic semi-beavertail, with premium-quality European walnut and a newly designed fine-line checkering. An oval brass shield, inlaid on the stock, will allow you to personalize your gun with initials or a family crest, while the handsome and durable carrying case will protect the shotgun for generations to come.

A Classic Choice for Hunting
This shotgun will shine in any hunting situation. This is because it is built on a receiver that is equally strong and low-profile. The 687 action has two conical locking lugs at mid-height, meaning that it will always lock up strongly and positively while not requiring the extra bulk and weight for a top locking lever. This further means that when you bring it up to the shoulder, the vertical distance between your eye and your supporting hand is minimized: this shotgun will follow your sight easily and instinctively. And in spite of its beauty, the 687 action is noted for its strength, so this is a shotgun that you can confidently pass down to the next generation of hunters.

Available in Three Action Sizes, with Scaled-Down 28-ga, .410 Receivers
The 12- or 20-gauge 687 has impressed countless hunters for its efficient dimensions and fast handling. But if you see and bring to your shoulder a 687 EELL Classic in 28 gauge or .410, you will marvel at the premium feel of the petite actions. These are scaled down to fit the smaller gauges without any extra weight or bulkiness, giving these shotguns the trim elegance of custom-made pieces.
