Sco77w Posted April 11, 2015 Report Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) Armsan gets my vote, I've had my 612 for about 4 years now, had it converted to S1 about 2 years ago and shoot PSG with it. The only thing it has failed to cycle was 21g carts which I never expected it to anyway. I shot a slug comp a couple of weeks ago and a friend gave me a box of cartridges and I looked at them doubting they'd cycle as they were really short, It never skipped a beat where as my mate next to me shooting the same carts from his Benelli was having to load 1, shoot 1. Ive shot countless cartridges thro mine and its still going strong. Buy one you wont be disappointed.

maverick 16 Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Im an Escort fan, but having said that the Armasans & ATA`s do seem a little less chunky.The Escort comes with shims to adjust comb & and length of pull. Put many thousands of carts through mine,you do get the odd miss feed, so do most of my mates Auto`s of all makes,shapes & sizes. I notice on a well known "Gun Trader" site an Escort Missione, nearly New for £325, bargain or what?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hedge Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Well out today at Doveridge with copperkins and the new Escort. The Escort performed very well out of the box considering the limitation of the ground cartridge restriction, showing much better extraction at the end of 100 cycles, very pleased! copperkins was really on form with it right from the start, think he got 48 out of 50, smart ***! Me, well I was outstanding too, shame it was outstandingly bad. couldn't hit a barn door despite very patient tuition from copperkins. Shall be contacting Welshwizzard soon for a fitting, may as well use the spacers that came with it and start off in the right place? Glad it worked well for you. At least you can't blame the gun! If you get the gun mount right I'm sure the rest will follow. Well me being me I bought a s/h escort off sportsbob (top bloke) in great condition going to give it a go next weekend Bloody thing don't fit in my cabinet so I store it with the barrel off LOL - mine won't fit in the boot of my car. Fortunately it does fit in my cabinet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
