At the range, the E los N 2 AllSport was a clay-busting machine. The shorter L O P and reduced grip worked well for my shorter arms and smaller hands, and I was able to swing the gun well and acquire targets quickly. Burning through everything from heavy target loads to low-noise, low-recoil loads, the AllSport performed with nary a hiccup. Its weight of 7 pounds 12 ounces (on our digital scale) was enough to absorb recoil but easy to shoulder and carry. For shooters new to the sport who want a gun that not only is comfortable but also offers the versatility to shoot different disciplines, the E los N 2 AllSport would be just the ticket. Price (complete with N egrini take-down case and five-year warranty): $ 3,125. (A left-hand stock is a $ 155 upcharge.) For more information, contact Fabarm U SA, fabarmusa.com.
The compact stock has a 14 " LOP (adjustable) to the back of a 22mm Microcell recoil pad,
and a MicroMetric adjustable comb allows for customizing dimensions. A slightly reduced pistol
grip works well for smaller hands. The Turkish-walnut stock on our gun was nicely fi gured, and
the water-resistant TRIWOOD fi nish enhanced the grain. The forend is a semi-beavertail with a
modifi ed Deeley latch. Checkering on the grip and forend was well done.
The gun is available in 12
gauge, and ours had 30 " TRIBORE HP barrels
(32 " barrels are available), 3 " chambers, ejectors and a
raised 10mm-to-8mm tapered vent rib. The gun comes with two
QRRs (Quick Release Ribs)� one with a 50/50 point of impact and the other
65/35� allowing for conversion from a low-rib sporting clays gun to a high-rib trap gun
in minutes. There is a white Bradley-style front bead and a silver mid-bead. The AllSport comes with fi ve Exis HP (Hyperbolic Profi le) extended competition chokes� Skeet, Improved Cylinder, Improved Modifi ed, Modifi ed and Full� all of which are safe for steel shot.

The adjustable competition trigger is inertia operated

and pulls averaged 3 pounds 10 ounces for both barrels. The
manual safety (appropriate for a target gun) is on the top tang and
houses the barrel selector.
Wood-to-metal fi t was excellent around the action and forend iron. The matte blued
receiver has accent etching along the top edge and no engraving except for � Elos N2
AllSport,� which appears in white on the sides, and � Fabarm Elos N2,� on the bottom.
