TFL Review Summary
The Zoli Expedition EL surprised me—in the best way. While it’s positioned as an upland hunting gun, this particular setup offered true crossover versatility with smooth handling and clays-ready performance. It’s not the lightest option out there, but the added weight translated into ultra-smooth swings and very manageable recoil.
If you’re looking for a refined over/under that balances beauty, build quality, and field functionality, the Expedition EL checks a lot of boxes. It’s a gun you’ll enjoy owning, shooting, and showing off. Would I personally tweak a few things for all-day upland hunts? Sure—shorter barrels and a Prince of Wales stock. But as it stands, this shotgun is a joy to shoot and built to last.
