turkish the new spanish

Well said. There is no particular virtue in a low-priced gun but there's no vice either. If it works for you and meets your needs there's no need to justify your choice or conversely claim some mantle of superiority. No one becomes automatically smarter or somehow more discerning if they buy a cheap gun.

While you usually get what you pay for the challenge is understanding where the money is in a gun. The Beretta 687 EELL is a beautiful gun that doesn't interest me in the slightest because most of the price tag is in the adornment. The action and barrels are the same as less fancier and lower priced 687 models.

Having played with and shot several Turkish guns it's not hard to understand why they are less expensive. There isn't one in my safe because of my willingness to pay more to own and shoot higher quality guns. YMMV.

Also well said, Claybuster.

I will start a thread when a date is set for the next one. Anyone with an interest in SxS's is welcome. (Whether you have one or not)

Can't wait. I do have several sxs guns.

hunterhenderson, How do you like your Canuck o/u? I'm looking at one now and would appreciate your opinion. What is the weight?

 

[Philthy1]

I guess when you organize one and then you can invite yourself, lol!

Love the side by sides! But what would we do at a sxs shoot?

 

[brybenn]

Skeet or sporting clays. Does it really matter? A group of guys and possibly girls with sxs guns has to be fun

I got one of these "Derya Carina's" a couple years ago from Dlask when he was blowing them out for $350, no problems, functions great, shoots like a shotgun, came with 5 chokes and spacers to angle the butt. Shot it a lot and it's still going strong. Chrome bolt, chamber, and bore, so cleans up nice and quick. I'd buy another one no problem.
