As the Sole UK importer for this popular brand in the UK, I can confirm the Fixed stock option is £999.99 Inc Vat & The adjustable stock is £1099.99 Inc Vat! The underside of the action has been designed specifically to have a textured finish in order to resist any marks from general wear and tear that a championship sporting gun may endure on the clay shooting circuit. Shoot Well & Enjoy Folks

[@lloydyp]

Sorry James, I could swear the RRP was 1200, even better value.

[@mrdavidpollock]

what is the warranty on it?

[@alanbrudenell4918]

Hi is it available in a left handed version?

[@borjastick]

I was shooting Ball-Trap here in France last weekend and was with a young French chap who had a new ATA SP Laminate in black. Afterwards we had a look at each other's gun. I was mighty impressed with his gun and he was shooting very well with it. He said it cost him about 1000 euros and to me the quality of fit and finish were very high.

[@brucealabaster2945]

Great review as always LLoyd, After doing a lot of research I decided to buy a 32" Pro 12 as a "Hack"/ bad weather clay gun, took it to a local 70 bird clay shoot the next day. Managed to straight a couple of stands and it actually shot quite well for a budget gun, second to last stand it double discharged and the trigger was locked up solid, took the trigger unit out and the top firing pin had come out of it,s retainer and moved over and jammed the bottom firing pin!, needless to say I took it back to the gunshop the next day and they were brilliant- offered me a replacement off the shelf immediately, I declined as I would,nt trust it not to do the same again. I traded it in for a 2 year old Beretta 687 SP 111 adjustable at a very very good price due to the hassle I,d had and I,m very happy with it. my pal has got an earlier supersport ATA and he has,nt had any issues with it since he bought it 3 years ago, maybe I got a "Friday afternoon" one, just thought I,d let you in on my experience. keep the reviews coming.

[@nigelmchugh5541]

I suppose the detachable trigger group could be useful as a security measure.. If someone does get your gun safe open,( or steal your car with gun inside) a gun with no trigger present is no use to them.

[@grahamedwards9920]

Like everybody else I found that a fascinating review. I thought initially you were going to damn the gun with faint praise as they say but instead you gave us a very restrained, well thought out appraisal. Great review, particularly if you’re in the market for that sort of gun.

[@andycarless9069]

A couple of lads on our local shoot have just purchased the ATA Pro and are happy as pig in S++t and the price point is good value for money !! i will purchase one as soon they will be available in 28" barrels 👍👍

[@LoopDLoopable]

Excellent review as always. Just a few further observations, not criticisms of your review or the gun. Bearing in mind you put a slab or more of cartridges through before you reviewed this gun, I’m surprised that it came as a surprise to you that there is no barrel selector on this gun when you were looking at it on the table. I also noticed that you had 1/4 choke in bottom barrel and half choke in the top. I purchased a Pro 12 a few weeks ago and while £1200 is the RRP with adjustable comb, they can be purchased new for £1050 with adjustable comb. I saw an offer on one stand at the Shooting Show in Harrogate for £1000 with adjustable comb. Bearing in mind no barrel selector I purchased an extra Skeet, 1/4 and 1/2 choke to cover most disciplines. They are fantastic well engineered guns for the price with great wood. I have yet to see any retailers offering stock and barrel weights but I’m sure these will be made available soon. As a matter of interest my 30” version with adjustable comb balances perfectly on the hinge pin without any additional weights. Trigger pull is good and can be adjusted. Perhaps this is one reason for the detachable trigger. Simple to remove it and adjust trigger to your preference with a screwdriver. Presumably a second detachable trigger will be made available at some point as a backup when shooting competitions. Some of the older competition guns with detachable triggers (Kemen for example and some earlier Berettas and Perazzis, didn’t have barrel selectors. No need to add a further complication that is not really required at competition level. The Pro 12 cannot be ignored at this price. This is a fantastic gun for the money with negligible felt recoil and will take the market by storm.

[@lloydyp]

You could delete the barrel selector on any of my guns and I wouldn't notice. It's not something I use when shooting unless there is a presentation that *actually* requires it. Which I dont often see.

[@TheShane45]

I'm new to shotguns (previous was firearms) so when I was looking for my "first", having done a lot of research I decided to go with ATA as I was quite impressed with everyones comments and reviews, so I went out and bought a ATA 12g Pro 12 and was very happy for the first 2 months (approx 500 shots), and then roughly every 8th shot it would drop the trigger mechanism out when ejecting the cases. No, before anyone thinks it, it wasnt me catching the release button. I took it back to the shop I purchased it from and they had it for about 5 weeks. Finally I got a call saying the gun is back so went along to pick it up. They said they couldnt find anything wrong as such but did change the spring in the mechanism as the original spring was weak? Having servised my own firearms for years I am a little sceptical that this will fix the issue and because of work commitments and weather Ive not had the chance to put it to the test yet but I am going out this week so we shall see. Overall this is a really nice gun, lovelly fit and finish but my confidence in it has taken a little knock. Saying all this, I am still impressed with the quality you get with ATA and I have just purchased another ATA, the Venza Fonex 12g semi-auto, which I am now waiting for and Ill let you know what that one's like.

[@andrewdeamer2949]

I had very similar issues with my Pro 12 which I picked up back in July 24 but from the start had issues with the trigger jamming on the first shot. Took it back to the place I bought it they said that it all looked find lubricated the action and I went on my way. A few weeks later it then started to happen again but intermittently but worked around it then one weekend the trigger dropped out on the second shot. At this point I had lost confidence in it and again took it back to the dealer I bought it from. They just shipped it straight off to the importer/supplier (which I believe is Sportsman Gun Centre). After they had it for a couple of weeks they advised that there was an issues with around 1 in 14 of the Pro 12's sold and that mine was one and that the internals were being replaced. A few weeks after that I got the gun back paperwork advising it had been repaired etc, and between Christmas and New Year managed to get out to try it and it was perfectly fine no bother at all. Literally yesterday (18th Jan) I got out again no issues at all till the last stand and the trigger jammed on the second shot, it did this around eight times in a row so just gave up. I'm in the mindset now I just want rid of it so will speak to my dealer in the next week or two to see where we go from here. Its a shame as the gun fits me perfectly, I shoot great with it and it looks amazing but there is just something not right with it. All issues I have seen relate to the trigger action and the ability to remove it, I just can't help think that if ATA had just stuck to a trigger they know works then there would be no issue but they have tried to punch above their weight and add this removable trigger (which is pointless in my opionion anyway) and its just causing issues. Hope you have more luck than me in this scenario.

Hi Loyd great review, I bought one as a winter gun a few months back, I’ve put a couple of thousand through it no issues other than catching the trigger release inadvertently a couple of times, the stock chokes don’t pattern well but with some beretta extended Mobil chokes works well, shooting towards the top of the local club shoot now with it, and leaving the beretta at home on occasions, I think that says enough to me about how good it is.

Had a look at these in a local grounds shop the other day, bang for buck it’s seems very good. Wood doesn’t feel great but it’s £1100. The instructor I spoke to in there said for the price they have never seen anything better in their 30+ years.

You can shoot clays with whatever you want, how much pleasure you derive from the experience depends on many factors. The gun can be one of them both if you like shooting a really nice one, or shooting well with a really cheap one, and everything on the spectrum in between.

Great review very good information thanks Lloyd 👍✅

[@gingerwolverine77]

I have one of these and had it for a few months. Before i had/have a 686 and they are quite different. The 686 is far more pointable and has greater gun speed i suspect because of the difference in weight. I find the recoil on the ATA to be comfortable. I think this is a lot of value for money given the adjustable comb and chokes you get in the box. Not sure its helped me shoot any more clays but nice to have something steel shot proof too. The barrels are very conical if you look up close - again i guess aiming for Baretta style? Good review though, would be interested to hear more comparison of shooting it against another more expensive gun please.

[@wearemany73]

I’ve decided to get a pro 12 adjustable with 32inch barrels and my local gunshop will fit it for me because I’m a 6’3” fat dude with big hands. Great review as per usual. Is £1099 a reasonable price, also how many years warranty do these guns have?

[@MartShoots]

Great honest review. I too, don't really see the 'need' for the removable trigger, its unlikely this gun will be at the UK sporting championships at a pro level?? BUT, like you say, how COOL!!! is it to show your shooting mates? That's a bit of bling, that lets face we mostly all love, but don't need. But everything else for just £1200? and... so it won't hold its value used, but c'mon, 1200 new.... that's not a lot to lose... I get the feeling you could have this one gun and shoot it for many years, so what are you really losing? Yeah, you're spot on correct, it's the Kia or Hyundai. Would I buy one? yes I would. Offer it in a long lasting black metal finish, with a CG style ascent rib option... and ok, lets be crazy here, a full set of extended Teagues as standard.... for under £1500, I don't think they would be short of buyers...

[@ZeldasGhost]

Security more than anything. The ability to take the triggers out if you have to leave the gun in your car when travelling etc will put you in good stead if the guns get stolen. And the judge asks what measures you took to render the gun useless to a would be thief👍🏻

[@lloydyp]

Removing the fore end does the same job.

[@ZeldasGhost]

@@lloydyp i know but a trigger block is much easier to carry around. I always take my fore end off whenever i stop at services stations on a long trip which means i have to put it in my rucksack. That is a ballache a trigger block can just go in your pocket. Plus the ease of maintenance is a plus too👍🏻

[@s-clan5266]

@@ZeldasGhost Absolutely, some of the ranges I visit here in Australia want all firearms to be left in the car until you 'sign on' and enter the actual range firing area - yeah, yeah looks like low risk but it doesn't sit well with me. As an old soldier I hate doing this with firearms (read: fully functioning firearms I can't pull the bolt out of) being able to remove the trigger assembly this would definitely be in my pocket as I dutifully line up to pay my range fees and would definitely make me feel a lot better.

[@cdsmith1990]

100% agree about the 'Hyundai' comparison, it's something I've been saying too. People still give ATA / Yildiz stick., but as long as they keep innovating and trying new things, they'll eventually get a really good foothold. The spring-loaded adjustable trigger is a great feature, for example. They just need to make sure their fit and finish is up to par..

[@lloydyp]

Cheers man.

[@pat199rick6]

I bought one last week from Roy Martin gunsmith. I've only just taken shooting up as a hobby, I hit the first clay with the first shot. (Shame about the rest). I thought the recoil was quite strong too, compared to my ATA SP.

[@kirkmoyes5743]

I have a Weatherby Orion 12 sporter that I bought 2 years ago and has proven to be an excellent gun. (made by ATA) it’s a nice gun and I shoot it well, but it IS a little more punchy than my daily which I attribute to stock dimensions as well as tighter bore on the barrels. I think I paid 900 US and it’s a lot of gun for the money

[@Some_kind_of_Steve]

Ignore the Turkish manufacturers at your peril. You hit the nail on the head Lloyd. If ATA are Hyundai then Yildiz are Kia. They are making massive strides in modern guns in the same way the Spanish industry did in the 1930-1970s. Tried a Yildiz pro the other day for a laugh. Stopped laughing very quickly. Now actively looking for one as a second gun. Excellent, fair review as always. Never even thought about the detachable trigger until you said 😂 No reason accept for a bit of peacocking.

[@STTrout]

I think because it's cheap if something cocks up within the trigger group you can literally have a spare trigger group in your bag.

[@PaulOMalley-uw6gy]

Good balanced review. Any sign of a ATA factory visit on the cards? Be interesting to see how they’re doing what they’re doing to see where the improvements are being made.

When I originally saw this gun and with its detachable trigger, I initially thought that it was trying to be a poor man's DT11 with the blatant design similarities. However, after watching your review Lloyd, it now seems more of a Pro Sport with a hint of DT??

[@mowerman2005]

I have just purchased an sp12 pro, tried it and it doesn't always fire the top barrel!! I returned to the dealer and was told to use high power cartridges to "run it in" and allow the inertia trigger to loosen up? I have put about 100 shells through it so far, and the only way I can fire the top barrel (most of the time) is to flick the safety on/off between shots..... I will persevere but having saved up and traded a perfectly working ATA SP sporter in, I am disappointed 😞. It obviously has a warranty, which I will use if it doesn't improve soon, but this has really taken the shine off the whole thing.

[@dave_724]

I don’t like the forend or nickel colour of the action but these look incredible quality for the money for a bit more money you’d go with one of these over the ATA supersport all day I like how ATA have become the every man’s gun it’s affordable and you can’t really slate them for the money you never really hear a bad thing said about them.

Hello Lloyd, Great review on this ATA…..I recently purchased a Kizilkaya RT25 (six weeks ago) from dealer here in the USA. Well, I am not too happy with the customer service at this end of this purchase. To be more specific the factory supplied chokes ( five furnished and one choke would not even screw in either barrel) and the removable trigger group which was virtually almost impossible to remove. I sent my gun to the importer in Texas and gave me a NEW set of chokes and resolved the trigger problem for the most part! Is it possible for you to get your hands on one of these guns and give an impartial review of it for any potential buyers of this model? Thank you, Mike P. (USA)

[@lloydyp]

I think based on the pricing I’ve seen they will be too expensive for the uk market.

[@jammyjim69]

Great review as a first or even second gun it's a bit of a bargain. As you say no good as a trade in. But if you decide to blow 5k on something posh (and if it's that good why would you) chuck it in the back of the cabinet to lend to a mate or take out on a horrible winters day when you don't want to take the good gun out.. I guess you'd loose at least half it's value if you part x it within a year or so. But 5/7 years down the line I can't imagine it would lose much more.

[@TonyWalker.]

Lloyd, how do you find the triggers on ATAs? I had an sp black which I bought new and eventually traded in because the trigger pulls were so bad it was actually effecting my shooting, took me a while to realise what was going on but the gun wasn’t going off when my brain was expecting 😂. Had shot plenty of berettas and brownings before that though so guess it may be fine if you started with an ATA and got used to it.

[@lloydyp]

It was fine, remember my calibration is Krieghoff / Perazzi, BUT I shoot different guns all the time, so your calibration with triggers is probably a lot narrower in terms of what you are used to.

[@TonyWalker.]

At last! I have been peeing my pants waiting for a review like this on this gun! I have just started my journey in clay shooting. Just done my basic shotgun safety with North Wales Shooting School. (great bunch of fellas! look them up if your looking to start shooting!) I wanted a second-hand Browning for my first gun. But was pointed towards the Pro12. And for what it offers seems like a great way into the sport. I'm probably going to be shooting trap for a while as I'm learning. Apparently this is a great gun for that due to the fact that you can alter almost all of the bits you need to get your fit and balance right. Would you recommend waiting to see if they do make a trap version or would that be basically the same as this gun? Great review thanks!

I’m really tempted by this gun. I currently own an ATA SP Sporter which is great but I’m left handed and my Sporter right handed. I only shoot clays but I’m hesitating because the Pro doesn’t have a selector safety. Is this a big deal or am I just being picky?

@@lloydypagreed, I’ve only been shooting for just over a year and haven’t used it either.
