Excellent line and comments. Like it or not, the current center for SxS manufacture is in the area around Huglu in Turkey. They are the successors to Saint-Etienne, Birmingham, Liège, et. al. They now have the workforce, the knowledge, and the market. The prices cannot be matched anywhere in the West. Many contributors to this site have noted the steady improvement in the quality of the Turkish product...and the need to do work on the triggers. Your enjoyment of the 28 bore is infectious and indeed pretty ubiquitous these days.
