Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Ithaca by SKB Model 680 English Over-and-Under Shotgun is a refined sporting arm that merges the precision of Japanese engineering with the elegance of classic British-inspired design. Produced during the successful collaboration between Ithaca Gun Company and SKB Arms Company of Japan, the Model 680 English distinguishes itself from standard over-and-under shotguns through its straight English-style stock—a configuration prized by traditionalists for its clean lines, fast handling, and instinctive pointability in the field. Built on a durable yet streamlined boxlock action, the 680 English offers a well-balanced feel between the hands, allowing for quick target transitions and smooth follow-through whether shooting clays or upland birds. The walnut stock is typically of high quality, featuring fine hand checkering that enhances grip and adds a touch of understated luxury. The blued barrels are precisely fitted and well-regulated, complemented by tasteful engraving on the receiver, reflecting SKB’s meticulous craftsmanship and Ithaca’s dedication to producing a shotgun that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

In performance, the Ithaca/SKB Model 680 English Over-and-Under delivers crisp, predictable trigger pulls and exceptional barrel regulation, producing consistent patterns across a variety of distances. Its straight-grip stock, combined with a slim forend, offers the shooter excellent control while maintaining a natural swing—an advantage for fast-moving game such as quail, grouse, or pheasants. The shotgun’s robust locking system ensures tight, secure action closure, which contributes to its long service life, even under heavy use. Many examples feature interchangeable choke tubes or fixed chokes that are thoughtfully paired to provide versatility in the field. The dual-barrel arrangement allows for instant choke selection depending on the shot presentation, giving the hunter flexibility in unpredictable hunting scenarios. Regarded by both shooters and collectors as one of the most desirable SKB-produced Ithacas, the Model 680 English combines timeless styling, exceptional handling, and dependable performance, making it a standout over-and-under that bridges the gap between traditional game guns and modern precision manufacturing.
