Weatherby semi-auto shotguns

[RandyF]

Does anyone have any experience with them good or bad. I'm thinkin about getting one for my son-in-law. Any input would be appreciated.

I have herd nothing bad or great about them, but if they are like their rifles I'm sure they are good to go?

They are not made by weatherby, they are made in turkey

Supposed to be solid guns but I have no experience with them.

I own a Weatherby SA08 semi-auto shotgun. Yes, it's made in Turkey in the same factory that makes Tristar. It is made according to Weatherby's specs.

It is a very nice shotgun. It's fairly light, well balanced, and yet soft kicking. Biggest feature for me is that it's very easy to clean. I like the dual valve. It's not an expensive Beretta or a Browning but it's well made. It took a beating last year during ducks & geese season. I used it in April to get my 22 lb Turkey! I think it is the best value in a semi-auto on the market today. It gets rave reviews in all the hunting magazines.

My only issue is that there isn't an 3rd party aftermarket for barrels, stocks, etc.

There good little guns at a great price.  Made from the same place as Tristar, but not sure if by the same factory   Every tristar i've held in my hans felt like cra...the weatherby is a solid gun.
