TFL Review Summary

There is no doubt about it; there are a lot of budget Turkish-made shotguns out there. Does Wimberley stand out from the others? The S12 appeared to be a solid shotgun that shot very well. We enjoyed the S12 and found it was a good gun for the money. The trigger was one of the only things we weren't a fan of. With a pull weight of around 7 lbs and a fair amount of pretravel, the trigger gave us some issues when it came to shooting super fast, but on a standard target, it shot just fine. If you are looking for a general hunting/clay gun, this could be an option worth considering. We like Wimberley's personality through their brand and look forward to testing out more of their shotguns in the future.
