The Type-T features a 34” Unsingle barrel to accommodate Trap specialists and a 30" or 32" Over/Under Barrel. The Unsingle barrel is ideal for shooting Handicap and Singles in Trap competitions, while the Over/Under Barrel allows you to shoot doubles and other disciplines as well. Let's dive in.

The Elos N2 Type-T Combo was designed for shooters who want a competitive edge in Trap, and still want to compete in multiple disciplines.

• Ergonomics

  • The black hardware and glossed dark walnut look amazing on this shotgun.
  • This Allsport has a right-hand palm swell.
  • The stock isn't the only thing on this shotgun with a wide range of adjustability. The trigger can also be moved forward or backward to match your finger size. 
  • All the tools you need to make the stock, trigger, and rib adjustments come in the case.
  • The receiver and control surfaces have some really nice modern details with a carbon-fiber type finish in various spots like the top of the hinge release.
  • Very nicely sized forend with an indentation for finger placement.
  • The vented double rib has a small white front fiber and mid-bead. 
  • Top tang safety with barrel selectors
  • The rib detaches very easily with one pin above the receiver. You can use the included choke tool to pop out the pin. Once popped, the rib slides forward slightly to detach from the barrel. This is designed very very well.
  • The overall ergonomics and build of this gun are awesome. It feels great in the hands, has tight tolerance, and is balanced right at the hinge point.

• Recoil and Reliability

  • We'll keep it short and painless for you: This Fabarm had very manageable recoil straight back into the shoulder.
  • Cycling target loads was no problem for this shotgun. We had tons of fun shooting true pairs with Travis. 
  • You will have no issues with follow up shots using this shotgun. The combination of the light trigger, good balance, smooth swing, and minimal recoil could make this a dangerous gun in all the shotgun sports.
  • If you can speak to the reliability of an Elos N2 please let us know how it's held up on the  TFL COMMUNITY!    
  •  Travis has shot Fabarm for a long time and is a proud dealer of these shotguns. He can attest to the longevity of these guns. He also talked about the continued support you get from the Fabarm team when it comes to maintenance and replacement parts. Fabarm has exceptional customer service and quick turn-around times to get your gun back in your hands fast.

• Breakdown/Quality of Build

  • As we've said, this gun is super intuitive. It's built well and as Travis said, will last a long time as you'll have Fabarms support for the lifetime on the gun.
  • A small thing, but this shotgun has no rattles, out-of-place noises or, loose components.
  • Fabarm goes over and above for their customers. Some companies won't have your gun back or even respond to you for 6 months sometimes. Fabarm runs a different ship. As a dealer, Travis says he's consistently gotten customers' guns shipped back in perfect condition within 10-14 days!

• Speed Shooting

  • In every review, we typically do a speed shooting test. However, this Allsport will be used for your more normal shooting disciplines. So instead, we took turns testing it out on the 5 stand. Everything good we've said about this gun thus far became even more true as we started to crush targets with it. This gun certainly gets the TFL stamp of approval.

In conclusion, the Fabarm Elos N2 is a great product. You're getting up there in price, but if you live and breathe clay shooting, then this shotgun could be a fantastic option for you that will last a lifetime. It shot great, looks great, and covers all the bases of practicality when it comes to shooting. You're not buying this gun for these reasons alone, though. We think there are two things that will continue to pay off over the lifetime of this gun. The first is adjustability. The trigger, comb, stock, and rib can all move as you continue to learn what set-up works best for you. You don't want to get into a gun at this price point for looks alone because when it doesn't fit you, your shooting is going to suffer. The rib and barrel combo is also a huge adjustability that will pay off for sure. Instead of 3 or 4 $1,000+ guns, you have one that is altered to be effective for all disciplines. Reason two: Customer service. This is perhaps the most important thing you're paying for with this shotgun. Fabarm will have your back no matter what and deliver when you need it. That is a huge thing that is becoming more rare in our modern world. 

Whether our targets in the field or our targets in life, we will only hit what we are focused on, so live the #targetfocusedlife
