Best Turkish Pump and Semi that actually worth it?

[Destroyer357]

About a year ago, I bought the Emperor MXP12 for $99 from KyGunCo; was surprisingly good enough for the money (key word for the money). Got me thinking, what other cheap turkish shotguns that actually worth it? I was eyeing those Turkish Benelli M4 clones, anyone have positive experience with them?

The various clones all tend to be slightly different than real Benelli's, controls in slightly different places, parts slightly different.


I've even seen differences in the same model from the same importer, so keep that in mind

Saw bunch of YouTube videos - seems like it’s a mixed bag - TFB tv James Reeves trashes any Turkish shotguns but Hitchkok45 has one and he likes it

Mossberg SA20or Weatherby SA-08

Why would you buy cheap clones? Save your money and buy quality. Don’t buy “Harbor Freight quality” guns.

There is no reason I would buy any turkish product, whatever the price or quality.

I own a lot of shotguns. Two are made in Turkey. A good quality sxs 28/410 combo and a fairly cheap 410 o/u. You get what you pay for.
As far as pump shotguns, if you are on a small budget, you should buy a Mossberg 500. At worst buy a Maverick.
Don’t take a chance on a foreign made bottom tier gun.

The Weatherby SA08 is a fine specimen of Turkish gun making.

I bought a Charles Daly SA 20g. Have yet to shoot it, but at $215 seemed a good deal. Didn’t realize it was Turkish until I handled it.

It was marked $298, but got a discount due to a missing front sight.

The Turkish guns I've owned and shot have worked well, especially the Girsan brand.

I got a 12 gauge SA-08 when they first came out and liked it so much I went back and got a 20 gauge for my daughter. Traded the 12 after I bought the Beretta A400 because I never used it and a friend of mine didn’t have a shotgun. Still have the 20. It’s a really cool camo pattern.

I bought a 12 ga. TriStar semi auto and liked it. It was all camo'd out for when used to hunt waterfowl. It is now in my SIL's possession and he loves it. Also bought a 20 ga Tristar for grandkids to shoot. It is now the possession of my first grandson to use for waterfowl hunting. Also have two ATI O/U in 28 and .410. All shoot just fine and none were over $500. Granted these are not high quality firearms, but they work and are functional. Kind of like the Rock Islands of shotguns.

For a while I had an O/U Yildiz 20 gauge that was a wonderfully made shotgun, with outstanding wood on it....
I now have two autoloaders, a 12 and a 20, both of them Stoeger. They are two of the smoothest cycling autos I've dealt with.
I believe Stoeger is under the Benelli umbrella now, and these two show it.

SWMBO bought me some dress socks made in Turkey, but my budget shotgun was made in Texas.

At worst buy a Maverick.

most turkish made guns are hit or missyou will rub across one that is awesome and then the nextone is complete crap!

I purchased a Panzer Arms M4 Marine Coat Benelli clone about a month ago. I have shot only 2 3/4" slugs so far(about 50 rounds or so) but it has performed flawlessly.

I have never shot or owned a Benelli M4, but for ~$500 as opposed to ~$2000, I am happy with the Panzer. Unless or until it does not go bang, I am very pleased with my purchase.

Bought a Charles Daly 20g for my girls. They took it out last weekend and it functions well. But the report is that it kicks much harder than expected.

They ended up shooting the 20g pump more due to recoil of the SA.

Kind of shocking that a Chinesium Pardner pump has less recoil.

I had heard the parts on the Panzer were supposed to be completely interchangeable with the Beretta. No idea if true. Just what I heard, or read somewhere.

TriStar is worth a look.

Some info on Turkish shotgun manufacturers that are clustered in town called Üzümlü, Konya, Turkey. Some are rebranders/resellers.
