Thread: Akkar Churchill 12g Semi Auto

After 3 years of ownership and I don’t know how many rounds I’m still very happy with this gun. I have a claybird thrower and sometime go through 50-75 rounds in a sitting. Use it for ducks on my property each year and it’s just a happy little performer. I’m happy to chuck it in the back of the side by side and not too worried about keeping it pristine as it’s a ‘working gun’ I got the black finish and it’s held up reasonably well since.
9/10 would recommend for the price.

I won one as a door prize at a club shoot (courtesy of H&F Whangarei) about 3 years ago, but as I already had 2 semi autos, I gave it to a neighbour's son to replace his pump gun. He's thrashed it a bit, as it cost nothing to him, and it still performs as it should. They will never last forever, but great value guns for what they are IMO.

I have an Akka Karaytay pump 12guage ,very nice and lighter than my heavier old escorts.

a lot of these guns are of turkish manufacvture -being the budget arms of benelli/bretta and spawn of the original lHatsan industries who produced the mighty Escort range .impleased to say i still own and use an original ESCORT 2stage manual reg gas operated 12g semi auto.admittedly i bough the old girl 20yrs ago IIRC and second hand at that ,so shes getting a little jaded in her advancing years -but never seen DR gunsmith -only has 3 serious episodes (reach for spares box DR kotuku -right up and running again).again ,and correct me if im wrong (gundoc will probably know )but ithink a lot of these guns are products of the huglu arms group in turkey .
from my reading of assorted gun magazines etc the generally get a good writeup for a "budget" gun and ive yet to meet a duck goose possum swan or any other feral who complained at bewing bowled by such gunsas opposed to mluds holland&holland /purdey gold mounted sporting 12guage .!!!

I still have my two faithfull escorts @kotuku when the lads turn up for a shoot.

Auye Dundee tis fine to see another with taste@!!
