alfa taf Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Basically the same gun. The difference is purely cosmetic , better wood etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groach1234 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 As said EELL will probably have a better grained wood and it also has a sideplate so more engraving of possibly better quality. George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racingfrank7 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 eell are all hand finshed unlike the rest of the 687's, they have better wood work more exspensive case and come with both flush fit chokes and extended but the action ect is all the same design and parts apperently. Ps i would have a old 687 sporter for £750 if there was 1 going, to go with my 2009 model ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Dog Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Sold a 687 30" sporter m/c last year for £800. A great wee gun, wish I had never sold it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COACH Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Don`t care what anybody says, you can`t beat the guns built in the eighties, what ever the make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcw65 Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Don`t care what anybody says, you can`t beat the guns built in the eighties, what ever the make. Thats because the guns in the eighties were built to a good quality and then a price put on them for sale. Now a price is set that the guns have to be built to and still leave a profit.
