ryan, i hear ya...turkish guns have come a long way in the past few years...now its pretty much, you get what you pay for, with dickinson brand guns being the top of their kind...

as for the durability of new guns, that too is a function of cost...people like blaser and beretta make o/u guns for high volume target shooting...those target guns are priced much higher than $2000...and included with the extra cost are service and repair facilities...

the best sxs target grade gun in the $2000 price range is the browning bss, not made since the eighties...

others with more experience than i might want to confirm or add to what i post above...
