EAA has a new entry in its Blue Label over/under shotgun lineup. This latest model includes barrel sets in both 20- and 28-gauge. This is a versatile combo that can cover a lot of needs without breaking the bank.

This new package model includes two sets of 26-inch barrels, one in 20-gauge, and one in 28-gauge. Those barrels have vent ribs, 3-inch chambers, and fiber optic front sights. Five chokes (Skeet, Improved Cylinder (IC), Modified (M), Improved Modified (IM), Full (F)) are included in each gauge to cover all possible situations. Those chokes are threaded in the Mobil pattern. The barrels are fitted with extractors rather than ejectors. Both the stock and handguard are walnut with checkering, and a pheasant motif is engraved on the receiver. A rubber recoil pad finishes off the stock. The safety is manual and ambidextrous.


Like the other EAA Balikli shotguns, the Blue Label Combo is made in Turkey. The MSRP for this package is just $729. It is available for purchase at retailers as of writing, as are other models in the series like the .410-bore with an 18.5-inch barrel or 12-gauge with a 28-inch barrel.
