TFL Review Summary
On the range, the 688 B-Fast handles smoothly with a steady swing, crisp triggers, and a receiver that feels solid and confidence-inspiring. Recoil is good out of the box but can be further reduced by adjusting comb height or adding weight through the B-Fast system. Pros include its adjustability, build quality, and price-to-performance ratio. Potential downsides are the laminate stock (traditionalists may prefer walnut) and the noticeable difference between trigger pull weights on the two barrels. Overall, the 688 B-Fast hits a sweet spot under $4,000 and is a serious contender for anyone wanting a competition-ready sporting shotgun without breaking the bank.
