NRA 2017: Another Gun We Want But Can’t Afford

A Jason Burton 1911, a Holland & Holland Bolt Action, and a Beretta 687 EELL Classic. These are three beautiful firearms that will likely never see the inside of our gunsafe. But, that doesn't mean we didn't pass up the opportunity to fondle Beretta's Second Amendment Special Edition 687 in it's NRAAM booth.

The limited edition field gun features laser engravings of the first line of the second amendment, a bald eagle, a minuteman, and, as a nod to The Donald, the number 45 and his “Make America Great Again” tagline.

This model is based on the 680 action and sports a 30-inch, 20 gauge barrel, walnut Prince of Wales stock, automatic safety, 3-inch chamber, and a 1/4-inch by 1/4-inch rib with a metal bead.

Beretta says the shotgun was “conceived to recognize the role sportsmen and women have in defending this right and its importance to our conservation efforts.”

We'd be very happy with the standard version of the 687 EELL Classic for about $8,000, but for those of you that want to fly your freedom flag at full mast, this special edition will run you $10,500.
