All excellent points, parabola. I came close to "pulling the trigger" on one this past spring but it's usefulness, because of those points you made, did not balance with it's price. It was a beauty in the hand, however.

Even the Brits seem to be moving towards Turkish guns more and more. Note that the three prizes awarded for the top three men's scores were most likely Turkish, two for certain: 2nd and 1st, and the Mossberg was most likely a Mossberg Reserve which is also a Turkish made O/U. I predicted nearly ten years ago that the world would become more and more accepting of Turkish guns as their quality continually improves. But, even I was surprised when I saw on the video how many were being shot that day.
