This year, EAA has debuted the latest in its line of imports, with the Balikli Blue Label Over/Under shotgun. With a stock of select Turkish walnut, an aluminum receiver engraved with a fair of flushing pheasants, an extractor and a manual safety, this is the perfect O/U to hit the upland fields without breaking the bank. Both the pistol grip and the fore-end are checkered for purchase, while out front, a fiber optic sight sits at the end of the vent rib for instinctual pointing. The gun ships with a Mobil choke tube set, including a Skeet, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified and Full. A 14.5-inch length of pull and 6.35 pound overall length make this a well-balanced, lightweight companion.
