wildoliver Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 For sale my Winchester 1200 Pump action 12Bore. 28" Multichoke. Comes with 2 chokes. 3shot restricted. So sgc. But could be simply converted to 5shot by a gunspith with just a new mag tube. These guns are tough, this one is totally reliable and has fired a couple of thousand shots in my ownership. It hasn't misfired once, even with cartridges I have had light strike issues with in other guns. Very tough, very reliable I suspect you could throw it in to a lake for a month and pull it out and fire it. Also rather nicely it is much better finished than most pumps, it has a full length forend so looks far more like a semi than a pump, and is lovely to handle, this was the top of the range winchester pump, they also did a budget version called the 120 which was the same action but without the nice woodwork and a half length forend. One was for sale recently. I looked at mossbergs and these before settling on this, the quality of fit and finish is just that little bit better. Only selling as not really using it now, so would sooner have the cash sat there to fund another OU so I can get my girlfriend shooting with me. Pics added later. Condition wise I would describe it as 7.5 out of ten. The receiver is anodised alloy and the anodising (black) has worn off the edges. Now this can be reapplied with some home kits but I really didn't see the point. The barrel is in good condition. The woodwork is in good condition and is oil finished walnut with quite nice grain and chequering! The chokes screw in nice and freely by hand. Mechanically perfect! Couple of scratches here and there but nothing major. At the end of the day it is a field pump action not a perazzi. Oh and it even has the winchester repeating arms original buttpad!!! I'm only looking for £175. Now while I'm happy with offers it is worth that, the 120 went for £150 in the end so this looks good value for money. Or I will take a swap of a 12b OU for my girlfriend, doesn't need to be a ladies gun she shoot's mine fine she's tall anyway. Something with mid to full chokes ideally or multichoke. No skeet guns.

dead-eye Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 what chokes are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildoliver Posted March 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Improved and extra full. But extra chokes aren't expensive (winchokes) or browning chokes will also fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
