Kevin Griffin Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 Just bought my granddaughter (13) a Kofs sceptre youth. Highly recommended by the clay shoot we attend. It’s a 20 bore with 26” barrels. Seems quite light and with the short stock/short barrels appears well balanced. I certainly would not say the build is poor, I’ve owned rather more expensive guns with a worse build quality. The Turkish guns have improved vastly in recent times and I think they are going to eat into the established builder quite noticeably - a point that will not have escaped the establishment. Bought from Chris Potter Tunbridge Wells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes 12 and it 20g and hes shooting on average 50-60% of targets at well known cpsa registered 100 bird comps in north east area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazydave Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 Have a 28bore and 410 Kofs. I've had some nice Browning's, Berrettas ect over the years, but have got to admit I now like the little Kofs best. Seems to fit perfect, patterns beautifully, and look fine. Brilliant value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the budget Turkish small bores, I like Yildiz more than the rest. They cost a little more, but appear better made. I bought a used 410 about 3 years ago. It had done some work before I bought it and I’ve put about 4,000 cart’s through it. Still going strong. Very impressed with its quality.

Mable Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 2 hours ago, TIGHTCHOKE said: Here we go again................................... Not me pal, I'll leave it at, I've a gun listed for sale. Judge it, buy it, or ignore it. I've decided on a new Beretta Ultraleggero fitted. Due to age and disability I can only now use a very light gun and don't wish to change from 12 bore. KOFs, and Beretta make the only 2 viable options for ME, and for ME, there's only ME that counts. 1, 2, 3, er more. Beretta without a doubt will be the better option, for ME. 🙄🫣😳🧐😂🤣😂🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finish is good for the price It’s a light gun ideal for walk up days and throwing about, stock was to high for me so I shaved the comb my self as it’s a cheap gun so fits alright now. Recoil pad is hard so could do with changing What prompted the change? The Diamond was getting absolutely rave reviews when it came out.

Dave at kelton Posted November 7 Report Share Posted November 7 I have a couple of Yildiz as I preferred them over Kofs. At this end of the market you are buying a couple of steel tubes, an action and a bit of wood. I never get too angst about it as long as it goes Bang!
