Jbob Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 Great stuff. I remember buying my first shotgun. Spent more than my budget but it was worth it. I was buzzing when I got home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingman Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Interesting thread this... Last week I had a chance to try out one these ATA's it was a black actioned model with an adjustable stock, 30" tubes I think. Have been looking for a cheap gun for knockabout purposes and the clay ground had a couple in so gave it a whirl. For the money (695 ticket price) I was pretty impressed it seemed to handle nicely, went bang when it was supposed to and broke clays just fine. I didnt buy it as I have my eyes on some other options at the moment (older Winchester etc) but for the money it seemed pretty darn good. My son has shot a Webley and Scott 920 for a year of so which is also a Turkish made gun, hundreds of rounds through it and not a single issue so where its made doesn't put me off. As for reliability well I have had plenty of problems with my Beretta 692 since I bought it, so I dont consider the odd report of issue (and I dont believe their have been many with the ATA's) would put me off.

Mossy410 Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Went through all this last year when buying my 14 year olds first gun. Should we get a used gun or new?? everyone we spoke to had their own opinion and thats all it is their own opinion plus a bit of gun snobbery. In fairness 70% of people favoured buying new to give him peace of mind rather than worrying about what a used guns history was? In the end he bought a new 30" ATA, great gun shoots well and doesn't have to worry about anything going wrong as its under warranty. Nothing against buying 2nd hand I have two 2nd hand 12G and they have been trouble free, just wanted to minimise any hassle as it's his first gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
