And they all suck. I wouldn’t touch one with a ten foot pole myself. Much rather have Spanish, Japanese, or Belgium.

Yes turkey has a history of making guns in particular shotguns.

Turkey can make a good shotgun , HOWEVER , it takes some other company to hold them to a quality or they will cheap out.

Weatherby , Traditions , Tristar , Charles daily , Stoger , Stevens , the current Winchester pump shotguns and several others are all Turkish guns

the super cheap ones generally do not have someone backing up the product with a name and some QA.

They used to all be garbage, but honestly with CNC maching nowadays, once they have the pattern pretty much anyone can be a rockstar.

I see the NWTF is dealing in off brand guns as sweepstakes items that’s new.

Hunted with a tristar viper max for years. Great gun. I like the stoegers better for over unders though.
