Armsan a612 chokes/pattern.

[Tomo-1]

Hi. I have had my very nice Armsan a612 (in camo) for about 6 months now. I got it as it is ideal for wildfowling, being proofed for steel. I also use it for pigeon shooting. I thought that by now I should be used to it and that maybe my results would improve. I have shot at a fair few clays since October, but I still can't hit a barn door at 5 yards! It's probably me that is at fault, I just need to be sure. Has anyone had experience of the choke/cartridge/pattern with this gun? I have had a few lessons as I have recently returned to shooting after a long break, I hit a few every now and then, but no consistency. I need to use it on a pattern plate. It has the factory choke with 3 notches (1/2, modified) as recommended by my instructor. I was thinking of going to Holland and Holland for a gun fit. Can anyone recommend a similar service in North Essex/South Suffolk? Thanks.

H&H doing 2 hours for the price of 1 at the moment, 1/2 hour on the pattern plate/fitting and the rest shooting lesson. Did it in February, well worth £124!

I have the a612 and it shoots extremely flat. In other words to get the correct POI you have to see no rib at all.

 

I checked it using both a pattern plate and a laser to make sure. You literally just see the bead sitting on top of the rib without any rib showing.

 

I initially set it up like my beretta and wondered why I was missing everything over the top but once I worked out what was wrong it's a great little gun.
