Detailed Features: 

The 28-inch barrel gives the gun a long sight radius, which most shooters find helpful for tracking moving birds or clay targets. The over/under configuration provides good balance and keeps the gun swinging predictably. 
 
No manual safety means the shooter relies entirely on safe handling rather than a mechanical lever, common in competitive over/under shotguns where speed matters. The 3-inch chamber accommodates both standard and magnum loads, so ammunition selection is flexible. 
 
The black walnut stock pairs with a stainless/silver metal finish. The combination gives the 600 a distinctive look compared to the blued-metal guns more common in this category. 
 

Usage Scenarios: 

At 28 inches the barrel is well-suited to clay target shooting and upland bird hunting, where a smooth follow-through matters more than short-barreled maneuverability. It works for waterfowl with appropriate loads given the 3-inch chamber.

Owners of the Iver Johnson Elegance 600 tend to focus on two things: the look of the gun and how it performs on the range or in the field. The stainless and walnut combination gets consistent praise. Users describe it as refined and note that the build feels solid.

Performance feedback is generally positive. Most shooters report reliable operation and consistent accuracy across both hunting and clay shooting. Versatility is mentioned often, with owners using it across different applications without issues.

The weight comes up as a practical concern. Several users note the 600 is on the heavier side compared to other over/unders in its class, which can be noticeable on long days in the field. Price is also flagged by some buyers as higher than expected for this type of shotgun, though most who raise it still consider the quality and appearance a reasonable trade-off.
