Those turkish guns are just going to get more expensive and desirable IMO. Well made quality firearms at a good price.

Yildiz, cz, and similar are fine guns for the money. And if they burn up or wear out, just buy another.

I bought a Stoeger Condor Supreme 20 gauge O/U for my daughter about ten years ago. For a budget O/U it's a pretty nice gun. I actually use it for grouse and woodcock more than my expensive O/U.
I think I paid around $350.00. I see where you can still get them from places like Cabela's for $399.00
Eh...wot?

Those Turkish O/U's should be about $100 less. If you catch things right you can get them for about $300-$350

Bakail 12 gauge i paid 425 new for. I bet you can kill just as many quail with it as you can the thousand dollar gun. The turkish guns I have seen were made to be used and not break. Just like the old topper or NEF guns. My first new gun purchase was a topper. On my birthday but not my eighteenth. Told the store clerk see today is my birthday. Clerk didnt do the math and sold it to me. I have fired probably 10, 000 rounds through that gun, it still works and I still have it. What more could you ask of a "cheap" gun?

My first gun was an H & R Topper Model 158. It was bought for me for my birthday when I turned twelve. I used it until I upgraded in my late teens. I got pretty good with it. I used to carry an extra shell in my left hand cradled under the forearm. Mine had an ejector and I could get a second shot off pretty darn quick.
I still have it, it's fifty years old this year.

CZ USA makes very good firearms. They make several over/ under plus side by sides. I love my 28 gauge Sharp tail side by side. Have recommended and sold their full line for the past 15 years.

I shot a friends Tri Star OU 20ga
I hit the clay I was shooting
action was tight
seemed like a decent enough gun I would think the question would be when you start needing springs and firing pins and such , are they available
the web site says customer service is in Kansas city MO
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Got a stronger here in 20 over/under and its a terrific bird and clay gun. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
