Hello,

I am very interested in hearing reviews from anyone who owns a JTS E60 O/U shotgun.
They look very good and the model .2 seams to be a Hell of a deal with full "options"
I am looking for my first O/U shotgun with no experience on these firearms.
Thank you for sharing your experience and helping me making the right decision.

You will get mixed reviews on Turkish made guns. If going the Turkish route, I would be inclined to go with more established brands such as Churchill, Huglu, ATA, etc., and ensure that warranty is available. The brand you suggest appears to be new on the Canadian market, do you want to be a guinea pig?
 
Interesting indeed, thank you
I would like to hear from an actual owner and make good use of his assessment in order to avoid being the guinea pig ;)
 
Dont know anyone who has one but there at at a good price for sure and steel receiver is a plus. 🤔 Do I want to be a guinea pig 🐖 🤔 Ever one that I shoot with that have the better quality Turkish shotguns seem to be having good luck and I am having good luck with mine (knock on wood 🪵)
 
The issue with the Turkish guns is that a certain percentage of guns released for retail are lemons. This percentage is higher than other countries of origin. So, a fella can read umpteen reviews about a given gun that are positive, but the gun you get is a dog. And then the question becomes - What kind of warranty support are you going to get, if any?

But, but with the Japanese cars. Having access to parts was never really an issue.

An acquaintance bought CZ branded gun thinking it would give him piece a peace of mind... When his gun was sent in for warranty work, after waiting a while and not getting the part. They sent him a replacement gun.
- if parts are hard to come by for a large distributor, while the gun was "current" ( that way before the whole COVID shenanigans). I wonder what it will be for the average Joe in a decade

I purchased this gun about two months ago as a back up as I am generally shooting older guns for my trap solidly made good checkering you’re not gonna have it slip out of your hands. Barrels are painted not blued and receiver is plain with a logo lithograph on it. Comes with many chokes and decent recoil pad. Now for shooting it, it kicks pretty good so you will need to hold onto to it firmly lol. Haven’t found my sweet spot with it and generally hit about 50% on clays in trap but 90 % with my older guns. Good buy and maybe after a dozen or so boxes of shells it will loosen up a bit as it’s pretty stiff.
I would give the gun a 7/10 overall Ang no regrets purchasing it. P.S likes certain ammo’s better than others for ejection.
Hope that helps cheers John
 
Hi John,
Very helpful indeed.
I appreciate your honest review and will take a little bit of time browsing the EE before I make up my mind.
Price and package looks very good though
Cheers

You may have found it already but there is an entire thread dedicated to the experiences of Turkish shotgun owners. You would do well to find it and read it, before you make any decisions. While others may have a difference of opinion, with having purchased and shot over 40 shotguns, and still have about 25 of them, there is no way I would buy a new Turkish gun when I know I can buy noticeably higher quality for similar money on the used gun market by picking a better known European make (usually Italian). Guns don't wear out except with high volume shooting. The occasional plinking or simply using for hunting does not wear out a gun. What makes used guns be less than they could be is not wear but neglect and/or abuse. Which is relatively easy to avoid on the used gun market.
