This Japanese SKB Model 505 over/under is a purpose-built upland bird hunting shotgun, combining lightweight handling with classic field-ready configuration. The 26" barrels and open Cylinder chokes make it ideal for close-range flushing birds like quail, grouse, and woodcock where fast target acquisition matters most.

With its 26" barrels, this gun delivers a balanced, responsive swing—quick to shoulder and fast on target without sacrificing control. The ventilated recoil pad and 14.25" length of pull provide comfortable shooting dynamics, helping manage recoil while maintaining fluid follow-through on fast-moving birds.

SKB’s Japanese craftsmanship is well-known for durability and tight lockup, and this example follows suit. The break-action design is inherently reliable, paired with a single selective trigger for quick barrel selection. The matte stainless receiver with engraved bird scenes adds both corrosion resistance and classic sporting aesthetics.

Chambered for 2.75" 12 gauge shells, this shotgun handles standard field loads with ease. The installed Cylinder chokes provide wide, forgiving patterns inside 25 yards—perfect for fast flushes and dense cover shooting. The interchangeable choke system allows the shooter to tighten patterns if needed for extended range versatility.

Japanese SKB shotguns have built a strong reputation for quality and value, often rivaling more expensive European doubles in performance. This 505 is a clean, dependable field gun with timeless styling—ready to hit the uplands or join a classic sporting collection.
