Ive 3 other shotguns, a Rem 1100, Rizzini E ,and a Fabarm, Ive barely even looked at them since I bought the ATA, plus I shoot better with it, and more importantly, its the one I enjoy shooting the most.

Thats great for you shooting to when you feel like that about a gun. What did you actually get in the end? I had a 30" sporter in nickel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wont sell the Remington, but if I can offload the other 2 O/U s , Im having it 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest before it all started going wrong my only gripe with the ATA was the weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighter gun , more kick , generally , but for me its just the feel, the chunky fore end, and it just seems to point instinctively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I don't go overboard with heavy loads through the o/u, 24/28 7.5 or 8s on the clays and 35g of 4 at game, anything bigger and I use the pump. I know what you mean about the forend though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig1982 Posted September 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Well I jumped in this morning and bought an ATA SP Bronze. The gun in one year old, does not look like it has fired a cartridge. Still in it's makers box £455. Will take it out to one of my permissions later today and put a few cartridges through it. Many thanks for all of the views, at the end of the day I could not get a decent Beretta for that money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig1982 Posted September 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Took it out for two hours this afternoon, just got back in 26 cartridges 14 Pigeons. Shoots very well. nice and tight, ejects well. Wood very good, blacking perfect as it should be, looks like it has never been out in the field. First impressions all positive. Some gun for £455, Will try and get out on some new drilling on Friday as the Crows are out in force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
