Valmet / Tikka

[Tim Guy]

Thought Id start yet another thread.

Found a good shotgunworld thread about the above guns.

They sound great, but it appears dave might have got a bargin.

Cheaper than the remi 32's / Krieghoffs but rare

If you ever happen to spot one in the UK it would only be worth buying
as a collectors item, they were imported, and had a brief
advertising campaign.
But they are very,very good.
And I wouldn't swap my K80 for one

Bargain alright - half what you paid for that baked bean tin auto :-))
I don't think I got a 512 or 412 - but could be a 312 and despite what was
said on shotgunworld they do break - hammer spring broke and dropped out but
to give Adenbourne their due they paid for the repair even though it was a
bargain basement gun and the gunsmith is top class that did it. - after all
these years shooting Autos I could be tempted to shoot this Valmet - it's
choked 5/8 and full -30" trap gun and I managed 23 on skeet with it.
If you are down Sporting Targets on Sat 17th Nov I could drop it in car to
show you.

Well the UK disty is in Wednesbury, entry level 512 is around 750quid.

I'm going to head over next week sometime and check them out, they do a
chrome barrel / receiver model which looks simple stunning.

There's a review out in a uk mag in the next month or so..
