I have only seen the pictures of their stock online, but they appear to be nice looking pieces. The only information I can find on them is that they are made in Pakistan and that they do some high end custom work for European shooters. Does anyone around the fire know anything more about these guns? I thought I would ask before I made a trip to check them out.

NOt sure if that is Euros or British £'s Also saw a few articles stating that quality for the avg shotgun is a hit and miss thing. Maybe you ought to call the retailer to see if they have a few in inventory that you could look at. James Pepper: There's no law west of Dodge and no God west of the Pecos. Right, Mr. Chisum?

Maybe you ought to call the retailer to see if they have a few in inventory that you could look at. Hit and miss quality has been the plague of Turkish guns. I don't doubt that these are the same. Honestly in that price range I would be looking at a used Ugartechea or SKB. Don't get in a hurry to buy and you can find a deal on a quality gun that will increase in value instead of decrease. I mean the $700-$800 range. I lucked out and bought a nice Merkel model 8 a few years ago for $650. Here are some places to look besides the norm. http://gun.home.cyberverse.com/ Last edited by R_H_Clark; 06/22/16.

They did make some very good SXS guns of you don't want an O/U. I remember researching them some time ago. I remember that some models were much more desirable than others. The guys at www.shotgunworld.com can fill you in. Good luck,hopefully you can find something local.

I haven't seen it yet but took him up on the offer. "To be glad of life because it gives you a chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars.
