First UK review! The all new ATA SP Pro 12 by Eastfield Gunroom

Introducing the very first UK review of this exciting all new sporter from ATA.
Following on from the huge success of ATA shotguns here in the UK, the SP Pro 12 is packed full of features that in some cases you wouldn't find in guns costing 3 or 4 times as much.
Perhaps the most exciting part of the guns development is the input from UK companies, in particular the team at The Sportsman Gun Centre who are the official ATA UK importers.
As Matt points out this gun is a real game changer in terms of specification and value. So sit back and enjoy the UK's first (and as with all things ‪@eastfieldgunroom‬ ) in depth review on the ATA SP Pro 12.

Great video Matt , Brilliant looking gun at an amazing price of £1100 ! ,what’s not to like about this gun , wood looks high grade as well ,definitely going on my shopping list. Perfect for those Sunday clay shooting days.👍👌

[@eastfieldgunroom]

Thank you for your comment, I am pleased that you enjoyed the video. A superb bit of kit for the money for sure. Kind regards, Matthew

[@tadsmith477]

Thanks for bringing this iteration of ATA to our attention. ATA has not only copied the 680 series guns but are using albeit the same marketing strategies Beretta used when presenting the original Model 680 here in the US. Developing this version with a detachable trigger and building to a price point is a sure way to attain market share. Most of the modern-day manufacturing giants have used this approach and have won in a big way (i.e.,Toyota). I will be watching their progression with great interest. Thanks again and keep them coming!

Brillant review Matt. What a bargain of a gun. Market game changer for sure!!

[@eastfieldgunroom]

Thank you for your comment and kind words. It is certainly an impressive bit of kit for sure. Kind regards, Matthew

[@merv690]

thank you Matthew I have been waiting for this one, another fantastic review, and a First congratulations

[@eastfieldgunroom]

Thank you for your comment. I am pleased that you enjoyed the video. Kind regards, Matthew

[@jameswagstaff8640]

I cant wait to see a review on what it shoots like. I picked one of these up and its solidly made. Looking forward to setting it up and smashing some clays with it!

[@alanbrudenell4918]

Excellent review again Matt and nice to see no ata emblem in the forend which looks miles better

[@eastfieldgunroom]

Thank you for your comment. I am pleased that you enjoyed the video. I forgot to mention the removal of the logo from the forend but as you say that's an improvement. Well spotted! Kind regards, Matthew

[@willt3861]

Comprehensive review. Thank you

[@eastfieldgunroom]

Thank you for your comment. Comprehensive and the first UK review! Kind regards, Matthew

[@willt3861]

Matthew it would be really helpful if you can shoot the ATA Pro and give your opinion of how it measures up against it's more expensive competition. William

[@pablo72011]

Looks awesome, I nearly wanted one, then i remembered I have a good gun already... Great review thou .

[@dave_724]

A black action would finish it off nicely it’s got a nice chunky stock sensible stock spec that will fit most people

[@ivanspencer1499]

For anyone just getting into clay shooting there is everything you would want in a competition gun what a great starter gun

[@eastfieldgunroom]

Thank you for your comment. I would completely agree. Kind regards, Matthew

[@philheckel7307]

Ive got the "german" version without the adjustable & removable trigger since 1 week now. in germany its a "brenner pro 12".Ive shot it last saturday and its just great. handles good and shoots very well!. its a little bit stiff on the beginning, but i look forward that this will change with the next 1-2k rounds ;)

[@davidrobertson9262]

Look forward to hearing how it shoots and if the recoil is reduced. If the recoil pad works well, is at game changer at this price point.

[@josephmcgivern9671]

thank you matthew

[@WilliamSirman]

I noticed that when you mount the gun, you hold it in the traditional way, thank God! No contortionist like C-Grip, that has become quite fashionable here of late! Also, not a bad looking gun for that matter!

[@ditchesandhedges]

What a good looking and well spec gun. Sub 1300 quid aswel. You couldn't go wrong really

[@eastfieldgunroom]

Thank you for your comment. It is certainly an impressive bit of kit. Kind regards, Matthew

[@chuffa62]

Definately buying one on the strength of the included telescope 😂

[@eastfieldgunroom]

Thank you for your comment. I agree that more manufacturers should follow suit with such extras😂. Kind regards, Matthew

[@momoz88]

Nice review Matt! Perhaps make a video comparing it with the Yildiz Pro.

[@eastfieldgunroom]

Thank you for your comment. I am pleased that you enjoyed the video. Your request has been noted. Kind regards, Matthew

[@dc6869]

Another great video Matt.not my thing being a sporter but looks to have all the bells and whistles. Any chance of reviewing some game guns?

[@eastfieldgunroom]

Thank you for your comment and kind words. There will certainly be some game gun reviews coming. Kind regards, Matthew

[@danjamison3727]

Great review had a super sport adjustable was disappointed with the adjustable comb fitting, really rough. Took it back after one week, don`t think I'd buy until I shot it and get an idea of cost as currently shoot a silver pig with adj comb

[@neilbrailsford1888]

Hi Matt I use a 20g zoli pernice on our little syndicate in Derbyshire but I'm thinking about getting a 12g for when I occasional do 50 sporting for fun and this looks good I was also thinking of a second hand gamba daytona before I saw this just wondering whicch one would you go for

[@eastfieldgunroom]

Thank you for your comment. As impressive as the SP Pro 12 is you could not compare it to a Renato Gamba Daytona. The Daytona is a superb gun although sadly now very much forgotten and overlooked here in the UK. Kind regards, Matthew

[@Luke_148]

First review, First Comment!!🎉🎉🎉. On a serious note though, that seems like a lot of gun for the money.

[@eastfieldgunroom]

Thank you for your comment, congratulations on the first comment. It is indeed an incredible amount of gun for the money. Kind regards, Matthew

[@stevekennerley2208]

Great video Matt as always. You just can't beat the pro 12 for value for money. Is there a 5 year warranty with it? Do you if there will be a left handed version?

[@eastfieldgunroom]

Thank you for your comment and kind words. It is simply knockout for the money. I was under the impression that ATA warranty was 2 years here in the UK but I will look into that. I believe that left handers are in the pipeline. If you have any further questions please drop me an email. Kind regards, Matthew

[@thecolliman7674]

Purchased this gun after watching your review and very happy but for 2 things they don’t supply a warranty card or a proofing certificate for the barrels really odd love to hear your thoughts on the subject.

[@eastfieldgunroom]

Thank you for your comment. I am pleased that you found the video informative enough to go and purchase. Although I cannot really comment on the absence of a warranty card I can help with the proofing query. As the guns are proofed here in the UK there is no requirement for a proof certificate. I do not know of any Turkish manufacturers guns that come supplied with one. Very different to the likes of Browning/Miroku. I hope this helps. Kind regards, Matthew

[@ronaldjohnson1474]

I swear I saw British proof marks on the barrels. Isn't that enough?

[@josephmcgivern9671]

would the recoil pad fit the old AtA sp super sport and where to buy matthew

[@eastfieldgunroom]

Thank you for your comment. I believe that the pads are individually hand fitted so it would be a gunsmith job really. Kind regards, Matthew

[@piaggio780]

Hello Matt, I know that you were the FIRST to review this new shotgun to the market. I wonder how this product will be received by the customers out there when compared to Webley & Scott’s new Turkish entrant. I want to let you know that I recently purchased a Kizilkaya RT25 and I will send you some specifications on my new gun shortly. Mike P. (USA)

[@eastfieldgunroom]

Thank you for your comment Mike. I will see what I can do regarding your request. The RT25 is a gun that intrigues me. Kind regards, Matthew

[@chuffa62]

I have read in a couple of places that if using 21g cartridges the gun doesnt cycle to the second barrel very reliably. Any views/experience of that from users or Matthew?

[@eastfieldgunroom]

Thank you for your comment. Although I have not personally heard of this I believe that this maybe due to the heavy stock. The early Browning 725 Prosports had a similar problem. Kind regards, Matthew

[@adrianward362]

They have a long way to go with telescope design. My grandson has one similar to that, and he swears by it though 😂

[@eastfieldgunroom]

Thank you for your comment. Yes I am planning to upgrade the telescope soon😂. Kind regards, Matthew

[@luisbahamondes7146]

Que hermosa escopeta una maravilla,yo tengo una ATA SP black !!me ha salido muy buena y el precio es conveniente

[@builtbymichael]

You've said enough. Where can I get one? Seriously. I can't see them for sale anywhere. What am I missing?

[@eastfieldgunroom]

Thank you for your comment. Please contact me directly for further information. Kind regards, Matthew

[@desmurphy1431]

Does it have a barrell selector on it ?

[@eastfieldgunroom]

Thank you for your comment. As per the information in the video the gun does not have a selective trigger. Kind regards, Matthew

[@davystella]

I’m waiting for my first shotgun certificate to be issued by Lancashire Police. For a novice, is the extra cost of the pro compared to the standard ATA SP worth it? Great video, thanks.

[@eastfieldgunroom]

Thank you for your comment. I am pleased that you enjoyed the video. Obviously there is a considerable price difference between the two guns. Having said that the stock dimensions and improved recoil reduction would make the SP Pro 12 the choice for me. Kind regards, Matthew

[@pat199rick6]

I received my certificate in December last year. I have a ATA SP from new and love it. I'm thinking strongly of buying a Pro 12 too.

[@davystella]

@@pat199rick6 thank yiu

[@davystella]

@@N0ggie thanks very much, that has swayed me to the pro. Cheers.

[@jimedray]

What would it cost to ship one to the US? We don't have a distributor, I guess. I havent been able to find any except the tactical crap.

[@eastfieldgunroom]

Thank you for your comment. Please contact me directly [e-mail] and I will be happy to assist. Kind regards, Matthew

[@rossforbes8403]

I agree it's a great value gun ,for what you get in the box for the price point is brilliant. But 2 people I shoot with had ata guns and they had nothing but problems with them ,one gun couldn't even be opened when shot after 8 shots, they both eventually got rid of the guns and made them somebody else's problem, to me I just think they look and feel like a cheap turkish beretta copy but they do come with great wood of what ive seen, but definitely not for me i think yildiz are a better brand if your considering a turkish gun ,ata and kofts not so reliable in my option for longevity, but beretta must be doing something right fir everyone wanting to copy them

[@eastfieldgunroom]

Thank you for your comment. I have known of some issues with ATA's in the past but similarly I have also known many Berettas and Brownings malfunction. This SP Pro 12 does feel solid to me, time will tell I guess. Kind regards, Matthew

[@AdamsClayPigeonGuide]

In my experience, ATAs just need a good greasing and a drop of oil in the top lever. They do seem to "run dry" quite quickly.

[@desmurphy1431]

Whats the recoil like on it?

[@eastfieldgunroom]

Thank you for your comment. I have not had chance to shoot an SP Pro 12 yet but with the improved recoil pad and Teague forcing cones it ticks the boxes. Kind regards, Matthew

[@SH-Accountant]

I bought one of these yesterday, it comes with a 5 year warranty.

[@luisbahamondes7146]

Cuanto es el valor de esta hermosa escopeta

[@eastfieldgunroom]

Thank you for your comment and confirming. Enjoy the gun. Kind regards, Matthew

[@builtbymichael]

Where did you get it from? I can't find one to buy, which is weird.

[@Skilpadjie1]

Although these and the Yildiz is super value for money. I believe they wont hold their value as good as Browning and Beretta.

[@eastfieldgunroom]

Thank you for your comment. The Yildiz Pro in particular and a large majority of the ATA models have a good residual value here in the UK. Kind regards, Matthew

[@happynurse8706]

Looks nice for $2500 If that's the price range

[@STTrout]

It's £1100.

[@twinpotracer]

that would potentially turn me to buying a turk gun...

[@eastfieldgunroom]

Thank you for your comment. It is seriously impressive. Kind regards, Matthew

[@fullchoke01]

The turks are making big waves in the market as a large group of shooters are in that neck of market, For the money though i'm going second hand mk38 7 days a week. The reciever face is not square to shell heads, the barrel mid rib design scream issues, good cheap gun but still a cheap gun

[@heliharris69]

We have been ripped off by the big well known manufactures cost wise for years... Fabarm... Yildiz and now ATA... are making quality guns for the right price now... Which will finally teach the greedy manufacturers a lesson by hitting them where it hurts... In the pocket.

[@eastfieldgunroom]

Thank you for your comment. Having visited several shotgun manufacturers around the globe I do not entirely agree with your point. That said there are some very impressive guns being produced by the Turkish manufacturers for one. Kind regards, Matthew

[@Jolly56Roger]

Yes maybe. But the quality and longevity will be far more on top manufactures .🦌Good starter gun though .👍

[@benvetonline]

Looks like a lot of gun for the money. They shouldve just come up with a slightly different design though. Looks too much like a DT11...pretending to be something its not. Looks like a nice gun though.

[@eastfieldgunroom]

Thank you for your comment. It is indeed a nice gun. Kind regards, Matthew
