Templeton "T2000" Button Release 12g Shotgun (full review) 

I’ve addressed this numerous times, but I’ll address it again here incase you’re a “self regulating apathetic shooter” so have a think about the following before you comment: (1) I don’t run and hide or “self regulate” in fear of the antigun crowd. If you haven’t noticed all the restrictions since 1996, running and hiding makes no difference, you will never satisfy the antigun crowd until you have no firearms period (2) I know it’s easier for some people to get angry at me from the safety of their keyboard, but are you that naive to honestly think if I stopped shooting a firearm as its intended, that there would be no new restrictions? Seriously? Take a look at Western Australia, I guess some of you have blamed Mark and Sam After Work for making long range videos as the reason for the current calibre bans there?! So stupid if you have (3) So even if I “self regulate” myself in the fantasy of appeasing the antigun crowd, what’s next? Should the pistol shooters slow down too because heaven forbid, they try to beat their scores and race against the clock by shooting fast? What then? Should the shotgun shooters not shoot their under and over quickly at clays because that’s rapid fire too? What about the PRS shooters? They had better slow down the cycling of their bolt actions too because we don’t want to upset anyone 🙄 (4) We also have had registration since 1996, so the various agencies from Customs to the various firearm registries who approve the sales of imported and locally manufactured firearms know exactly what they look like, how they operate and function. You would be delusional to even entertain the idea that online videos of people using them legally, are the first time they’ve seen them 🤦‍♂ (5) Let’s entertain the fantasy for a moment, that no one in Australia makes firearm videos, so when the antigun crowd use overseas footage (which they’ve done in the past) what’s your solution then? Message RU-vidrs from the US and tell them to slow down, I’m sure that will be well received 😂 (6) I even had a guy suggest moving and shooting is for Call of Duty only. If you have any experience with walking through the scrub and shooting mobs of pigs or wild dogs, you’d understand that you need to move and the way I move and shoot minimises barrel movement so I can shoot accurately. Try walking normally and shooting on the move and you’ll soon understand 👍 (7) So instead of blaming everyone out there for new proposed restrictions, how about you direct the fire in your belly towards making change? How about standing proud and uniting as one, voting as one and lobbying your local State and Federal members to tell them that you will not vote for them if they support any more restrictions on us? So be warned, any apathetic self regulating comments are not welcome, stop watching my channel if it's an issue for you, pretty simple.

Fellow Aussie here mate. Disregard the keyboard warriors mate. You keep doing you and we'll keep watching and supporting you and your GUN channel. Well done.

Bring back gun culture in Australia...the next generation is starting to appear in parliament so this is a great time to promote these sports

They're a great shotgun. I've had my 28" for a couple of years now with zero issues. You should have mentioned that the T2000 is gas operated as opposed to the short recoil action of pretty much all the others. This is the reason it will cycle pretty much everything. A great side effect of gas operation is the reduction in felt recoil. Been waiting for this review because I knew you would like it. Cheers.

There is a state election coming in Queensland towards the end of this year and it will be our last chance to vote in politicans who will support us in firearm ownership . A vote for Labor,the LNP or the Greens will mean the loss of all our firearms. Please think very carefully before casting your vote and do not get the guilts for not voting for a party that you, your parents and grandparents had always voted for. Things are very different now.

I recently got the timber stock marine 20 inch version and I absolutely love it. Took it out pig shooting and it was flawless,no problems at all and the price is bang on for what I need it for. I classify this shotgun as a scrub shotgun,it’s great for close range shooting and if it gets a bit banged up it’s no big deal. No jams or problems at all,easy to clean and operate.

love where you put the copyright, keeps the media honest

Just bought one last week in FDE. It feels very solid and action is very smooth. Very, very happy!

Great review Ozzie, I was looking forward to this one, i also thought the button location was not the best idea, thanks for your feedback mate.

Thanks for the review mate..Well done as usual!

Cheers for that mate, I’ve had one a while and I love it, so it’s good to hear your opinion. All the best mate

Another spot on video mate, and comments.

I bought the 20" Walnut model a few months ago. I'm not a big dude, and 12g has never been a cartridge i have enjoyed for the recoil, but the gas system in this one is great, really takes some of the snappiness of the recoil out. Really fun rifle, even for clays (20" not ideal, but the clays break when/if i hit them so... fun:)

love your work and hope you're in good health!

Just got one for me bday, what a gift. Thanks for the review.

Newly licensed shooter/gun club member. Your videos are by far the best and most informative in helping select the right firearms for my desired use. That being said, having a hard time choosing between this and the Sulun Tacsoras!

Hey bloke. Thanks for the in depth review on this shotgun. I was hanging out for this, so I really appreciate it.

I much appreciate your reviews mate ! Keep focused and please bring some more new stuff.

Got the 28' Timber when they first came out. Very impressed with it, very effective calling in foxes when using a load of BB's. Keep the gas port clean and they are very reliable

theres just no good rifle reviews out there so i had to look up ozzie and i must of missed this one , even though its about a shot gun , reminded me i have a shot gum short barrel , great vid OZZIE

Great review thanks. It’s on my list this one.

I need to look into getting one of these for foxes and pigs. Enjoyed your review!

great review - thanks for the in-depth consideration.

great review mate

Back your review all the way. I have one as well and put about 4 boxes of shells through it just messing around and 100% flawless operation the whole way.

Great review!

I nearly bought one this morning, only went in for ammo! Next on the list, great review, thank you.

Well said Ozzie 👏 👍

Hi Ozzie, great stuff as always. As a lot of people did when the Adler lever came out, i jumped on one thinking it was the next best thing but i hated it, i also bought the straightpull version when it came out, a bit better but still wasnt overly happy with it. I couldnt get rid of my fondness for my much loved Mossberg pump action shotgun that jack boot Johnnie coward stole from me and none of those Adlers came close to it. Id held off selling both my Adlers awaiting your review of this Templeton T2000, i was undecided between it and the Buckmaster PB12, another great honest review by the way. After handling and shooting both, i went with the Templeton and like you, i am very impressed with it. My local actually recommended the Templeton also over the Buckmaster due to warranty and other issues. So yes, i am loving using this a lot, it fits me great, i have no trouble manipulating the push button and trigger like some seem to, and dare i say it, i dont know if id go back to a pump action now after using this primarily for pigs from quads and in thick lignum. It just works and so far not an issue with it full of mud and dust and a few tumbles from a quad bike to. Highly recommend it. And the Adlers are both long gone.

Great review Mate. Was hesitant, but definitely going for this shotgun now. On my way to pick it up at Magnum Sports NSW. Keep those vids coming. Big fan here

That does it I’ve been thinking about getting a new shotgun and I think that’s what I’ll be getting.

Just brought the same one yesterday's $1670 later. Wood stock. Looking forward to it. Keep up the good work

Nice touch with the copyright on the screen after the ch9 issue. Don't worry about it in the way , you have to do what you have to do

CHECK YOUR SUBSCRIPTION TO ME GUYS - RU-vid ARE AT IT AGAIN UNSUBSCRIBING PEOPLE WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION!

Good review, I still prefer the PB 12 button position as you don't have to move your trigger hand whatsoever...🤙

First comment. Been looking forward to this. Much love for you and your Chanel. -Izak

Love mine. Shoots great. We all need to stand against government over reach. More content on our sport/hobby/employment the better.

New Bushpig PB12 coming out now. Looks easier to clean.

I have this gun, it's brilliant! Mine is 28" mossy oak camo.

We keep getting told that it is because of public safety that the firearms restrictions are in place. Well if they applied the same thought to motor vehicles there would be very few on the road. There are more people killed and injured on one day in Queensland with motor vehicles than there are in all of Australia in one year with firearms. Where is the logic. There is state election coming in Queensland towards the end of this year and it will be our last chance to save our firearms. A vote for Labor, the LNP or the Greens will mean the end us having firearms to compete at clubs or hunt feral animals. We must give our vote to politicans who will be on our side. Think very carefully before casting your vote.

I want one of these!

Cheers for the review man! Much appreciated. Lovely gun but not a fan of that finish. Very happy you like it and can’t complain about it. How would you compare it with the sulun????

🇦🇺😎👍Great review mate🏁

Good review

FIY for everyone and to be honest im surprised none of the reviewers have covered this but here we go. If you bring your Turkish Repeater to the NT and shoot geese with heavy steel shot loads, in no time at all the choke tube will be frozen into the barrel. even with a imp cylinder choke this will happen and it will happen a lot quicker if you use tighter chokes. The chokes get distorted somehow by the shot and then they wont come out. You can buy 3rd party chokes for your Turkish repeater which will fix the issue. This goes for the Adler, Templeton, Bushmeister etc. Don't think when you cant get your choke out that it's rusted in. Thats not the case, the tube has got distorted. You can thank me later....

The problem with the Buckmaster having the bolt release on the fore end is if you are a shorter shooter you have to really over reach for the button . This is why I'm seriously thinking of changing over to the Templeton . I think the build quality is also better and its actually a cheaper gun. Its a small thing but the choke spanner is also better than the Buckmaster.

Great video, Ozzie. Always happy to see your content. That said; do you still have Category C and D Licenses? My favorite Shotgun is the Mossberg 500 and 590 Series in all their varients. The 590A1 is my Hog Gun. Keep on going on strong.

I would like to how the 28" barrel patterns and shoots slugs. Great review.

Great review thanks Ozzie, what category does this fall into (WA) thanks

Nice review mate. Tossing up between this and the new axor arms bushpig button release any thoughts on the bushpig as it looks like it's new to the market

Yea WOW

Hey mate - had a quick question - at 11:13 is that livestock off in the corner? Not sure what kind of farm you've got but I see red or brown splotches like that and I get a bit nervous about cattle, having grown up around cows and guns 😅😅 - not trying to stir anything up mate, was more just wondering how you ascertain a safe distance if you're shooting that close to the animals Thanks for the review mate! Looks like a good gun!

Hey mate just wondering if you were going to do a video on the new Rossi r95 got one on order

Great timing on the video mate, planning on getting one of these. Do you know the difference between the Marine and Tactical versions of this boom stick?

Thanks for the in depth review. So if you hold the button down will it still cycle?

Hey mate can you do a review on the new Bushpig button release 12g cheers

Goodonya 👍🇦🇺

Hi @ozziereviews , great review mate. Can you explain the key difference between the left and right handed models you mentioned. Charging handle on other side ? Or are there differences in the stock etc? Cheers !

Do you recommend the 20” or 28” barrel

Can you have a look at the Stoeger straight pull

The only thing that ever makes me regret my life choices as a shooter is 12G solids off the bench. Great review!

Out of curiosity what were the 7.5’s that you used? I’ve heard that you need to buy the ones that travel a little faster in order to cycle

Are there any button release shotguns to your knowledge that are NOT made in turkey?

Wth! Im so mad! I didn't get notifications on your upload of the video! Damn RU-vid always trying to silence honest gun loving patriots

Yep I had dudes tell me to pull my video down “Because like semi auto” “they will ban them” fk me if they are going to ban something it’s gunna get banned

Would you rather the t2000 or the tacsaurus?

Just wondering with that action does anyone know if it's an AB license firearm or fall under the pump class in Victoria?

Assuming these aren't A and B in vic?

What’s happens if you hold button down?

What Cat are these?

I just got a t2000, could anyone tell me what's the go with shooting slugs regarding chokes? Full cylinder only?

Are these Turkish made? I can't seem to find the origin of manufacture.

why is a pump action banned then?

wish my buck master was this quality but the forend button was why i got it. went to put a reddot on the rail and the one screw holding the pic rail bent and came loose from recoil "omfg" lol

Will you buy one Ozzie ?

I HOPE THE BUTTON RELEASE IS NOT MADE OF PLASTIC, WOULD HATE FOR IT TO BREAK 😉

Sub'd 👏

So i can get one of these on a A/B license but can't have a pump action, Go Figure!

My question is why no pump-shotguns in australia? What you aussies use are cool but rarely seen in the hands of most US shotgun owners.

I love your videos, Ozzie. But I don't like the copyright notice that now appears on the screen.

People need to understand , all our rights are being taken away, from when I was a kid, working in the bush cutting timber with the old man, to my uncle selling fruit and veg on the side of the road, for the tradie doing a simple job for a slab, Australia where not so free anymore, you can’t even catch fish and share anymore 😡! Wake up, we are getting s$3wed

I am just amazed that every time anything is said about the use of these various repeating shotguns, it always refers to pigs. Doesn't anyone use these for shooting rabbits, foxes, hares or other anything else? BTW I would not touch one with a ten foot pole.

It's very sad that we dont have IPSC shotgun division because of thr stupid laws

Just how long before it’s banned in Qld Faster than a pump action I’d worry if I bought one it would be quickly banned & I’d have wasted my cash🥴

Longer barre full choke l for longer shot good with xxx 12 gae 😊

3 seconds until banned.

Can anyone find a single review or video of the Chimera PB-223?
