Turkish Shotguns
bulldogs40:
What is everyones opinion of turkish made shotguns. Specifically the over and under/ SXS type? does anyone have any personal experience?

For a upload hunt or two a year it will be fine. My kid has a Weatherby pump, a 870 clone made in Turkey ....looks nice, but now that it has 500 down the tube it won't feed half the time.
I shoot ATA trap and they a pretty poor reputation for reliability, and you never see one on a trap field. A CZ is $850, a Browning Citori CX is 1499. Spend the extra $400-600 and get a Japanese made Browning.
IMO the only thing Turkey does well is provide the Turkish blend for Camel Cigarettes.

The guys I've know that had them, mostly CZ's, were usually at or near the line that divides satisfied and unsatisfied; none were raving about the shotguns, nor going on half hour rants. They seemed to have small problems that popped up from time to time, but customer service and price were good. It was stuff like a small part would break and they were down to one barrel. There were other brands out there too, that weren't mainstream and had nice finish and wood-but still had a few small issues but easily dealt with by a smith back in the US. Back before the gov got weird about guns you could bring all kinds of stuff back from a deployment overseas, and for Turkey more than a few were bringing back fancy looking SxSs.

I've got a HUGLU o\u that has well over 1000 rounds down it and never an issue. Seems like a pretty good gun but I guess time will tell.

Love my CZ sxs ring neck 12 gauge. One of the best guns I own
