I don't see anything wrong in getting a Turkish made shotgun. Just look at who is putting their names on some, Weatherby, Savage/Stevens and even the Brazil companies are going Turkish. The new edition of Shotgun Sports has an article on the Savage/Steven's 555, all positive. I shoot competition with Brownings, but I carry spare parts and tool kit whenever I'm over 3 hours from home. It's a sickening feeling when your gun breaks down in the middle of a shoot. My field guns are Beretta, Stoeger, Winchester, and Biakal. If I win the LOTO my next shotgun will be a Blaser.
