Looked at 1 today in at my local just as clunky as my T1000 but it is quicker to use

[Shootermick]

I’m sure it would be quick, probably quicker than my 12 gauge pump. And obviously not everyone can have their cat c. That’s one ugly charging handle though.

Yes I've been sitting here wondering even with the straight pull how long before they kick up a stink and categories them as a C as well don't know whether they will buy them back or grandfather clause them with all these mobs getting around so-called legislation I can only see them letting us get away with it for a small amount of time .

The question is how stiff is the button.

[dpskipper]

gday fellas. i've had a bit of a play with one. most favorite of the lever/button/fairy dust release shotties so far. think i'm gonna buy it.

its priced well, well made (always thought the dickenson straight pulls where made well). button is very well positioned. naturally ambidextrous and not very stiff to press but requires a deliberate push.

thats a plastic spacer for shipping protection. the actual lever is a standard blade like you'd see on any semi auto

Good to hear. My mate said today that he thought button was too far forward but he's not a shotgun enthusiast

[dpskipper]

well i couldn't resist and put in a PTA for one. should come in a few days.

yeah the button is a tad too far forward and if you have small hands will need to stretch the thumb a little but its not exactly like theres many other places you could put the button. its the in the best spot so far. makes the bushmeister look inferior for sure

Thanks for that, I obviously haven’t actually seen one.
I reckon they’ll sell pretty well.

Outstanding. Post here your impression after you have a rapid fire ammunitions episode.

i would but i'd be outdone by our resident rapid fire expert aussie reviews. best leave those things to the experts aye!

So has anyone got any more real life info on these ? I'm pretty keen to buy one

Wondering that too, haven't heard any owners thoughts on them yet. Certainly seem like it is better value for money compared to the buckmaster pb12, even with its price drop.

I've bought one, just waiting for the pta to process.
But I'm pretty keen, looks like it will be a good gun.
Be interesting to see how it compares to my buckmaster.

[dpskipper]

bought one when it came out but alas not shot it yet, been busy.

its very smooth action, looks and feels well built.

Spotted this on youtube earlier.

Thats a bloody nice looking gun

[jacksaligari]

Old post but I picked one up on Friday went duck shooting and quail shooting very impressed with it

I picked up mine yesterday, love it!
s**ts all over my buckmaster, can't fault it as of yet.

[mchughcb]

A friend was using one on the weekend hunt and I have to say I liked it.

[dpskipper]

personally i prefer the look on the tacsoras but i think the t2000 has the better classification

[Larry]

Having tried the tacsoras and the other push button/lever release shotguns IMHO the Tacsoras is the clear winner in build quality and in outright speed and ease of use.

[dpskipper]

t2000 would be quicker once you factor in less reloading

[S O K A R]

Having tried the tacsoras and the other push button/lever release shotguns IMHO the Tacsoras is the clear winner in build quality and in outright speed and ease of use.

Personal preference I guess.
I have no issues with the build quality of my templeton, being able to rest my thumb on the button release while firing makes it a much more enjoyable firearm for me to use over the tacsoras.
But once again, I guess that just comes down to personal preference.

[Gun-nut]

The buckmaster with the button on the fore end seems like it'd be the fastest of them all, with the ability to fire without altering the firing hand whatsoever. In regards to build quality...well they're all turkish and you probably get what you pay for.

[S O K A R]

I would like to see a rifle with the button release in the same position as the templeton, not sure if it will ever happen though.

[d4n73n]

I'm thinking of getting one of these as the button placement seems more convenient than the other push button shotguns I've seen. But it would be better if they offered a magazine extension as 5+1 seems a little underwhelming in my view. I know Ignition Custom Engineering offers magazine extensions for the Buckmaster PB12, I hope they have the same for this shotgun.

[mchughcb]

I went into a store last weekend and I remember why I'll keep the triple. To press the button I have to move my thumb forward and it obscures my sight picture.

Might be okay for some people but for me I need those three shots with sight picture interruption.

pushbutton rifles are already out there, only in 223 atm I believe...better position of the button than the T 2000
