Armsan 612 Realtree

[User00056]

Picked a new one of these up today at a really good price. Had a play earlier and fired a few rounds through it in quick succession at some hand-launched clays. Quite impressed with how it handles and shoots. Anyone in the market for a budget semi-auto could do worse, I reckon. Well-built, solid feel to it, and has a quality that belies the price point. Very impressed so far. And I love the Realtree finish, despite being a dyed-in-the-wool wood & blue man.

Devils advocate, given that the shop is closing down; would you have bought it at pre closing down price ?
But I imagine the price you paid is probably double or more what the auction will fetch in for any remaining ones.

I have one that I picked up second hand but barely used, cracking little gun in my opinion really enjoy using it. Much better than the hatsan it replaced

I've had one for about 5 years. I rarely clean it and put all sorts f cartridges through it. It just keeps going! I find it starts to fail to cycle after about 300 shots but a quick clean gets it back to normal

In all fairness, probably yes. I've been toying with the idea of a semi-auto for a while, and I liked the look of this from the moment I picked it up. Very similar to a Benelli I once had

I bought one a few years ago. I don't use it much but it's been very reliable, just the trigger is a bit hard.

I'll probably use it for crows and magpies around the yard, mostly. Maybe the occasional goose flight at Montrose basin. It'll not get much use in all likelihood, but it's an itch that needed scratching

Not yet. That sounds like a plan though!

Got one and an Escort. Never play up and cracking value for money especially S/H.

A friend of mine has the same one, really good gun, he loves it. No issues with it at all.
