New Semi on market

[DSPUK]

In this month's Clay Shooting magazine there is a gun test on a Armsan semi auto -- at first glance it looks just like a Win SX3 Flanigan - got red receiver and forend nut - There is a complete stripdown on it and as soon as you see trigger group you say "Beretta" even the bolt looks Beretta although it has two slide bars and coil spring over mag tube -- if you look at receiver from side it looks 391 - even got stock spacers and it's synthetic - all this for retail of around £630 --

 

Must say I was impressed by writeup.

 

So has anyone got one as they were first shown at CLA Game fair.

Had a good look at one the other day felt good felt a lot better than a hatsan escort. And i too thought beretta all over

It's been around for over 2 years, seems to get "re-launched" evry 6 months or so.

I am holding one for one of the club members and we had a clay shoot today and it saw some action , I must say that the stickers on the barrel are a bit naff but the gun it's self performed flawlessly together with it comes up to the shoulder very nicely giving you a good sight picture and the workmanship does look as good as a Beretta although the colours are a bit gawdy for me.
