The Dickinson LLC 212 delivers reliable semi-automatic performance in a full-size 12 gauge platform built for serious shooters. This Turkish-manufactured shotgun combines proven gas-operated cycling with modern synthetic construction for consistent field performance.
What Makes This Different
The 212 features a gas-operated system that cycles a wide range of 12 gauge loads from 2¾" target shells to 3" magnum rounds. Unlike many budget semi-autos that struggle with light loads, this shotgun maintains consistent ejection and feeding across different shell weights. The 30" barrel provides extended sight radius and improved swing dynamics for waterfowl and upland game hunting.
Key Features
- Gas-operated semi-automatic action handles 2¾" and 3" shells
- 30" barrel with 3" chamber for magnum loads
- Fixed synthetic stock resists weather and impact damage
- 5-round magazine capacity (4+1 with plug removed)
- Ventilated rib with brass bead front sight
- Chrome-lined barrel for corrosion resistance
- Removable choke tubes for versatility
Field testing shows reliable cycling with loads from 1⅛ oz. target shells to 1⅝ oz. waterfowl magnums. The extended barrel length provides consistent patterns at longer ranges, making this shotgun effective for pass shooting ducks and geese at 40+ yards. The synthetic stock maintains zero shift in temperature extremes and sheds moisture during wet weather hunts.
