Kral and Huglu OU Shotguns

[saskdude99]

Looking for a reliable inexpensive shotgun to hunt upland and smack a few clays.
I see Turkish Kral at Tenda that fit my price range. I've looked in the forums and the forums are 14 years old. I read they have a new huge state of the art cnc facility..as far as Turkish standards go. Also looking a Buyuk Huglu but there's not much for sales.
Who have experience with these brands?
((I won't buy used)

I have a huglu sxs hammer gun, for the money it's a good gun and came with exceptionally nice wood, been using it for years now duck hunting without any issues, my only complaint is the triggers suck. Tried a few cz sxs's years ago as well, also made by huglu, the triggers also sucked on them, they were in the 8# plus range

A friend has a Huglu OU 20ga that he really likes. It goes bang and hasn’t given him
Any problems. I’m a Spanish guns guy but I do say I don’t mind it however The Turkish guns are a bit heavy for my likes.

Yeah mine is heavy as well but suits my need as a duck gun shooting heavy loads, there's a lot of better options out there for upland guns tho that are lighter

I know nothing about Kral but given the reputation of Turkish built guns in general I would tend to stay away from them. The Hulu has a pretty good reputation, they’re not without some problems from time to time but for a cheap gun they’re pretty good.

Try and find some you can hold. I had a CZ sxs that was a good looking gun. It just did not fit well. Best to get one that fits you, not trying to fit the gun. ( I only shot the CZ 500+- shells but had no mechanic problems.)

I have a beautiful Huglu 103 in 28 gauge but would likely not buy another. Beautiful gun BUT does not pattern worth crap regardless of which choke or load combination used. There were a few other people that commented that their Huglu’s did not pattern well either so take for what it’s worth.

I have some experience with Kral. Browning they are not, but they seem solid for the price point.

I’ve handled and shot the Huglu HT 14 a couple of times. One of our regular members has one. I’m not an expert on shotguns, but this model feels really solid and I like how it shot and managed recoil. Shot it both for 16 Yard Trap and a five Stand.
