I bought two of these, one in 28 bore and one in 410, both 30 inch three years ago. I originally got them to see weather or not enjoyment was to be had shooting the smaller calibre. Honestly, they have both been great fun and value for money. I have taken both on Pheasant and Partridge days, receiving a lot of leg pulling from my, gun snob friends. With remarks like, Which gas pipe are you using today? Have you got your Pea shooters today? Or the one that caused the most hilarity was, The Hammerite finish bluing is different. But when you think about it. Multi choke. Vented barrels and rib. Single selective trigger. Mechanical action. Three year guarantee. Less than £500 each. Absolutely wonderful.
Looks exactly like my Stevens 555E. Stevens is a brand acquired by Savage Arms in Massachusetts. I paid $700 USD so it is priced comparably. I suspect the Turkish manufacturer makes the same gun on a “Private” label basis for a number of companies. I have a 12 gauge. It is a perfectly fine entry level gun. In London again and visited the Beretta store. Beautiful guns. I enjoy your channel very much. Keep up the good work.
I have one of these and use it game shooting on my walked up/mini driven shoot. Shot 20 bore for years, but decided to go for the Kofs 28 bore for this season and really enjoy shooting it. I've shot plenty of pheasants with it, a few partridge and even bagged a snipe a few weeks ago. Really enjoy your reviews
I’ve got one and I love it, apart for the terrible barrel to fore-end fit (probably just my gun) and and the non automatic safety. For the money though I shouldn’t complain, does the job 👌
*Hello, Recently bought a 12 bore version of this and this video helped greatly before i bought one (as my first shotgun) could you please explain the "fore end loop" please?*
I'm now torn between this in 12 gauge and the Yildiz SPZ ME steel 12 gauge… Im a new shooter, shooting clay… i understand fit is key, but what do you think? Any suggestions?
Hi guys love the videos, I'm in the process of buying a Ridolfi Eos side plate, there's not alot of info out there, I'd love to know your opinion on it? Cheers
This gun looks very similar to my wife’s Stevens 555e. Can you do a video on how to remove this type of ejectors? I don’t seem to be able to get them all the way out. Sliding the side down let’s me get the ejectors out halfway, but I can’t seem to figure out how to remove them completely.
I know this was a long time ago, but I had a brief question about this gun. My wife’s has started being very stiff pulling the trigger. Is there anything I can do to clean inside the trigger/action or is it a gunsmith only fix? Thanks.
looks very well made and the replicable trunnions are good other Turkish guns don't have them sometimes. The issue as you say is the barrel weight but has the stock got space to add weight? what's the trigger like? and the internals?
Got the look of trouble to me like a yilditz. These cheap and cheerful turkish guns in my opinion are ok for a occasional pop. But no good if you shoot 70 to 100 carts every weekend. They soon show why there cheap. On the plus side they keep the gunsmiths like yourself busy Great video as always.
Got 2 never had an issue with either and I shoot clays,seen a 16k Italian gun double discharge and jam up though,oh and I regularly beat the posh boy's if I want to really irritate I use sxs😂 gas pipe
Just as a mention,spoken to 3 gunshop owners and gunsmiths they generally don't get hardly any comeback on them and they have been around for a while now .snob factor plays a big part in any sport and shooting is no exception , for me taking part enjoying the company is everything.and I couldn't care less what anyone else is carrying.
I generally go for half and full. My advice would be test your cartridges, though, manufacturer, and load do vary. The best performance I have had is with Clever Mirage 36 gram 5s on a high bird day.

Bought one on the weekend. I found it nice to use with the 30" barrel. Quite accurate with 98 out of 100 clays. Can't argue for the money.
It's the fella using it. My father made a show of me with an ancient baikal haha nice shooting

I have the 410 version, great little gun. Never fails to put a smile on your face.
I have one too and i really like it!
My Mrs has 1 of these in 12 gauge, she loves it & I reckon for the money you really cant go wrong.
Thanks guys another great video
Great review. The missus wants one as her first gun. I'm torn between this in 12 g or a ATA sp
Jimmy Rustler not yet. We're gearing up for a holiday in America first. Be once we return we'll be buying

You can adjust the fore end fit to how it should be with the allen screw on the fore end latch on the barrels without to much trouble at all.
*Hello, Recently bought a 12 bore version of this and this video helped greatly before i bought one (as my first shotgun) could you please explain the "fore end loop" please?*
Hi I bought the sporter and love it! Can you do a video on how to take it down completely and the stock off please?
Hi I have the 12 bore version would like to improve the woodwork what would you recommend? Many thanks.
@@saleharshad237 thanks where can I get it from?
@@saleharshad237 its really good not had any problems 1000 ish cartridges through it 👍
Is it steel proof ?
Does it have chromed barrels? Thanks
Great review. Where did you get access to the marksman training simulator?
Thanks. The Simulator is ours, so we are planning lots more videos.
The Gun Shop Excellent. I imported the first and only one to Australia. No doubt you've met Tommy then. Look forward to more vids.
For private use? Or do you use it commercially?
It was bought for the Australian Deer Association. It was used by the members for practice.
I want the simulator
what is the shooting practise kit you have on the shotgun where could i purchase, please
I just want to know where I can get the clay pigeon simulator? Who makes that?
Friend had no 3 choke bulge on the first day of duck season, does anyone do after market chokes for these. Thanks

How much cast does the 12 bore sporter right handed have

Savage Stevens rebrands these kofs shotguns. Must be good if they are putting their name on it.
I know this was a long time ago, but I had a brief question about this gun. My wife’s has started being very stiff pulling the trigger. Is there anything I can do to clean inside the trigger/action or is it a gunsmith only fix? Thanks.
Just a very heavy trigger or like it’s stuck?
The Gun Shop It’s heavy intermittently. But sometimes so heavy my wife cannot pull it.
looks very well made and the replicable trunnions are good other Turkish guns don't have them sometimes. The issue as you say is the barrel weight but has the stock got space to add weight? what's the trigger like? and the internals?

@@svenlarsen4876 each to there own 👍
For a budget gun what is better this or the ATA bronze????
Also so why am asking what's the difference between the ATA bronze and the ATA black edition?
A very hard one, but i would say the ATA has the edge
Just Colour, and availability of adjustable comb
Thank you for the response 😁
Also great videos keep up the good work 👍👍
Hi I have this 28 bore gun this exact one in the video does anyone know what the best chokes are for pigeons pls reply it would help alot thanks!
