This SKB Model 485 side-by-side is a refined upland hunter’s dream—a true multi-gauge package built for versatility in the field. With both 20 gauge and 28 gauge barrel sets, this shotgun seamlessly transitions from harder-hitting pheasant and late-season birds to delicate upland work where the 28 gauge shines. The 26" barrels place this squarely in the balanced upland category, giving you adaptability without sacrificing elegance.
At 26 inches, both barrel sets deliver that sweet-spot balance—quick to the shoulder yet smooth through the swing. This is a responsive field gun that tracks naturally on flushing birds without feeling whippy. The straight English grip enhances control and instinctive pointing, while the single selective trigger with integrated barrel selector allows instant barrel choice without breaking your shooting rhythm. The automatic ejectors forcefully expel spent shells upon opening, allowing for fast and efficient reloads in the field.
SKB’s Japanese craftsmanship is on full display here. Known for tight lockup and long-term durability, the Model 485 features a robust break-action design paired with beautifully executed game scene engraving. The walnut stock shows excellent figure, and the metal-to-wood fit is clean and precise—hallmarks of SKB’s reputation for quality sporting arms.
The dual-gauge capability gives this shotgun serious range in the field. The 20 gauge 3" chamber handles heavier upland and even light waterfowl loads, while the 28 gauge 2 3/4" setup excels with lighter loads and tighter patterns for closer birds. With included chokes ranging from Skeet to Modified, you’re effectively covered from 0–40 yards depending on setup—making this a true do-it-all upland system.
For collectors and hunters alike, multi-barrel SKB sets like this don’t show up often—especially in this condition. It’s a classy, functional, and highly desirable package that delivers both performance and presentation. If you know upland guns, you already know—this one checks boxes.
