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 itThe 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
There is no reason I would buy any turkish product, whatever the price or quality.Why would you buy cheap clones? Save your money and buy quality. Don’t buy “Harbor Freight quality” guns.
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.The Weatherby SA08 is a fine specimen of Turkish gun making.
At worst buy a Maverick.
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.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.
