I’ve just bought this in the 32” and got to say it doesn’t feel front heavy at all even with the extended chokes in. Having had Miroku /Beretta/Brownings in the past I just fancied something different for smashing clays and I’m not disappointed at all especially when you get all that in 32” form for under £800 brand new!!
I bought this very gun and it’s great. It’s not front heavy at all even with the chokes in. Pointless checking the balancing of a shotgun without cartridges loaded in my opinion. Unless you’re gonna be shooting fresh air at clays 😂
Keep up the good work John. It would be good to see a series about like you said "showing ATA what they could have made" This is my Saturday night. A bottle of Red wine and TGS episodes. Would also love to see more reviews of side by sides. Thanks have a good weekend
I am waiting on finding the right gun for our next cheap to charming series. I have however started on our next back from the brink project which should be exciting
Definitely a good unit. I might be a little bit odd and personally don't go with all engravings, but am a sucker for plain black and red. Best wishes from Northern Ireland .
I have the 30" and agree with other comments. With cartridges in and the extended chokes it is perfectly balanced and I find it very easy to move and get on target (granted, I am a bit of a lump and heavy things are not much of an issue). As standard, I believe it comes with 2 x extended in 1/2 and 1/4 and 3 internal chokes but I cannot be 100% certain as I bought mine used. I've not tried it with the internal chokes as 1/2 and 1/4 are perfect for me at the clay ground and I smash a fair few and its me not the gun that the issue in smashing more.
I've just applied to get one of these, was originally looking for a second hand Beretta 686e sporter but when I tried it out it didn't fit me at all and for near £400 more I didn't think it was worth it. The dealer then let me try out the ATA and it just seemed to fit me a lot better, maybe slight adjustment in the comb needed but should be easy to do. Also got a good deal on it new too! Really looking forward to it and if anyone has one could you let me know what it's like to shoot over say 50-100 clays? Would be much appreciated. Great review!
Thanks, great review. To clarify, are all the chokes that come with it extended ? My recent purchase only came with 1/4 & 1/2 extended with the others being black and flush
Being in Scotland it was easier to buy my Supersport from Bisley. However if I lived down south TGS would have been my first choice. The wood quality and finish of my gun is excellent. It'a just like any other gun, so if you can shoot correctly, you can smash clays with anything. I don't plan on ever selling it so value is irrelevant.
Hi I'm just getting into clay pigeon shooting and keep being told to get an ATA, but which one is best the laminate or this one or should I buy 2nd hand, got upto £1K Max. I know its about fit, but want to narrow down to about 3 before trying.
Forget brands, tags etc make a short list and go and shoulder as many as you can, even better shoot as many as you can. Clay shooting is 99% being able to mount and swing the gun consistently, pick the gun that fits and feels best, the ata is a great gun for the price, no it will not last 30yrs of heavy use, but it is still a great gun, used miroku, lanber, even older winchester, nikko etc try them all.
Had one of these blow up the barrel on me. Fault was put down to dodgy manufacturered chokes by the company "TEAL" don't use their chokes on this gun to be safe.
Jon - love at the end of the video your exciting improvement ideas on this great looking Turkish plate smasher!! - if I buy a new black 30" ATA SP Supersport from TGS and give you permission to do all the mods you'd like to (on camera as I'm sure you'd prefer!) - are you up for that?? Think I saw a guilty twinkle in your eye you might just quite like this base gun - with mods of course as you suggest??? I'm happy to commit my £800 / £900 GBP into your very capable hands Jon - win or lose! (plus moderate mod costs) I pays my money - I takes my chances - I understand the risks 😎😎 Just one stipulation .... no engraving, please no engraving!! (especially French orientated superb hand chiselled style) - at least not just for now anyway Jonny😉 - cheers (hehe!) 👍😎😎 My payment awaits your demand for the challenge!
When you put your live cartridges in your gun,it would balance just fine with those extended chokes🙂

I’d love a video of a breakdown of all the ATA models. Theres a lot to choose from

ATA ARMS SUPER
I've just applied to get one of these, was originally looking for a second hand Beretta 686e sporter but when I tried it out it didn't fit me at all and for near £400 more I didn't think it was worth it.

Jonny, what mods would you do to this supersport ??? I’d be very interested in buying one from you and you mod’ing it...
Can you please review the Verney Carron Sagittaire Aquilon Saint-Hubert? Or any O/U from Verney Carron? Thank you.
Barrel steel used? Proofed to what pressures?
Like the checkering. What's your thoughts on using a Browning 725 Sporting for trap? Maybe too lite weight huh?
Am I right in assuming that the SP means proofed for steel shot?. Thanks
what modifications would be recommended for this?
did you ever had the opportunity to do the customization you wanted to do to it?
Thanks, great review. To clarify, are all the chokes that come with it extended ? My recent purchase only came with 1/4 & 1/2 extended with the others being black and flush
There has been a mix of extended and internal chokes in the ones we have seen
Mine came with extended chokes as seen in the video then 3 internal chokes within the choke case
Hello there. What do you think to bettinsoli's? Especially the bettinsoli crypto?
Supersport or sporter;; I am confused 😕
Which is the newest;
Being in Scotland it was easier to buy my Supersport from Bisley. However if I lived down south TGS would have been my first choice.
The wood quality and finish of my gun is excellent. It'a just like any other gun, so if you can shoot correctly, you can smash clays with anything. I don't plan on ever selling it so value is irrelevant.
Can you recall which lenght this gun was..? 30inch..?
How do you think they will last??? Will they ever see the lifespan of an older Beretta???
Probably not to be honest
mobil chokes ?
Yes. I have this gun and bought a set of gold extended drilled ported mobil chokes and they fit perfectly and look superb.
nice looking gun imo the extended chokes do nothing for me though
Why does the balance point need to be exactly on the hinge pin?
It doesn’t.
Can you guys please review the ATA Churchill 512
You mean akkar Churchill?

Nice to hear a young Englishman using imperial and none of that metric rubbish......
I know this is off topic but I recently saw your Lee Enfield .410, is it still for sale?
I believe it isn’t for sale as johnny is waiting for another to come in before selling it.
Does the comb have cast or just raise?
Both
Had one of these blow up the barrel on me. Fault was put down to dodgy manufacturered chokes by the company "TEAL" don't use their chokes on this gun to be safe.
We're they the standard chokes provided with the gun???
What's a Quid?
Slang language for a UK £ pound.
Really dislike mat black guns. How did the cheapest possible finish become trendy?
Each to their own.
'Protruderie'.
fire it fool
I just ordered a 690 Black Comp with B-fast 30” etc, let’s hope it’s slightly better at shooting trap than this shotgun.
Johnny look at your phone I text u
lol
