Introducing the SKB Model 685 2 Barrel Trap Over/Under Shotgun, a masterpiece of Japanese craftsmanship that marries performance with elegance. This shotgun is revered among collectors and competitive shooters for its outstanding design and precision. The Model 685, specifically configured for trap shooting, offers a versatile two-barrel set, making it a top choice for those who demand reliability and accuracy in their shooting endeavors. Crafted by SKB, a company with a legacy of high-quality shotgun manufacturing since the 1950s, this firearm features exquisite gold inlayed engravings of a clay shooter with floral scroll accents, adding both aesthetic and collectible value.
In terms of condition, the shotgun is in good overall shape, with some signs of use and handling that add character to its history. While it functions well, the lock up may need tightening in the near future, and the forend latch requires a gentle push to close due to an aftermarket screw for the spring. The ejectors are impeccably timed, ensuring smooth performance. The bore remains in excellent condition, boasting a clean, mirror finish with no signs of wear, enhancing its appeal as a competition-ready firearm.
This sale includes a bonus case, choke box, and wrench, alongside its original factory box, adding to its provenance and making it an enticing acquisition for collectors. The SKB Model 685's walnut stock and forend, with cut checkering and a R.A.D. recoil reducer, provide a comfortable and stylish grip. The slight right-hand cast-off adds to its ergonomic design, ensuring a seamless shooting experience. With a 34" and 32" vent rib barrel set, each ported and threaded for removable chokes, it offers a customized shooting experience that can be tailored with Briley chokes in Improved Cylinder, Improved Modified, Modified, and Full configurations.
