scottie2345 Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Love mine, I cannot think of a single time that it has failed to feed, and I am not the most scrupulous at cleaning, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Footu Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 another thumbs up from me, using 32g wildfowling it does kick a bit which delays second shot but a recoil pad helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportsbob Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 I have an A612 and it has so far gone through over 7000 rounds most of which were hull superfast 27 gram fibre wad it has been 100 % reliable with not one jam. I will add I have tested other makes of cartridge recently Power Blue , Maxam Imperial, Gamebore Hitec, Baikal Record, Pigoen Special, Realtree Pigoen and Hull Sovereign all without issue and only the Gamebore XLR low recoil and Express Subsonics would not cycle. I have never used oil on the gun and it has only ever been cleaned and lubed with GT85. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tx4cabbie Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Light, easy to clean, reasonably reliable, and goes bang when you want it to. At the price, superb. Synthetic stock is a rubberised texture like the benelli at many times the price, stock shims easy to use, which is useful cos the instructions are pony. Seems to pattern well, I've just had cylinder in mine and it breaks convincingly any of the clays our little club sends up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick miller Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 Mine hasn't not worked yet. Reasonably priced, reliable, easy to clean, kills stuff, compatible with beretta mobil chokes, comes with shims, camo version doesn't have that rubbery finish.

figgy Posted March 2, 2017 Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 If you stripped it down next to a a391 Beretta it's hard to tell them apart same bolt etc barrel. Very good value, my only gripe is the slim small stock much like a SX3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankook1 Posted March 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2017 how come they are compatible with Beretta Mobil chokes mick miller and how did you find that out even my local dealer didn't know that ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul1958 Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 I use Muller mobil chokes in mine. I have had the red sporter A612 for over 2 years. Never had a problem with recycling except when not cleaned it for 1000 shots. (was trying it out.) Never tried using below 27g carts. Done well over 10,000 carts through it. Had 2 action springs break but the dealer just posted me a new one each time. They are only £14 anyway if outside the 4yr warranty. My g/f has the black A612, she loves it. I actually prefer it now to my red one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
