Who else has bought the TOZ 34?

I really like mine, it`s not necessarily the best looking shotgun on the rack when we`re doing trap (far from it actually) but it shoots just as well, and seems built to hammer stakes into the ground :D

Last weekend we were doing some trap, it was pretty chilly out, and one the guys with a beretta silver pigeon had to borrow shotgun`s to shoot as his trigger group was frozen:p

I believe the difference is that one ejects the shells wheter they are full (live) and the other only ejects spent shells.

An extractor lifts the shells away from the chamber so you can get your fingers on them and pull 'em out.

An ejector tosses spent shells right out of the barrels - no need to touch them.

Which is better depends on what you intend to do with the gun:

Trap shooters tend to prefer extractors if they reload their own shells because, at most ranges, the rule is "if the hulls hit the ground, they belong to the club". It's damn hard to catch the ones kicked out by ejectors.

Hunters tend to prefer ejectors because, if you need to reload in a hurry, you don't want to be pissin' around with empties in the gun (especially with cold fingers).

If you look at the TOZ website, they list the same guns as having 12, 20, and 28 gauge. Does anyone know if they are imported into Canada. I can't think of a nicer upland gun than a little 28 gauge o/u for $250.00. Holy crap that would be a deal
 
This past weekend, I was made aware of one interesting feature of the TOZ34... the stock as a nice cast-off!

This might explain why I find it to shoulder/point nicely :)

Bought my first shotgun - a TOZ 34 ER

Hey everyone!

Well, I bought my first shot gun - and its a TOZ 34 ER

Reasoning:

I was going to go with an autoloader, but with the recoil on a 12 gauge, and no real need for 'high capacity' I decided to go with the simple design of an over-under.

As a beginner, I felt that an over/under would be a good choice for both hunting and skeet.

Also, everyone on the TOZ 34 forum recommended the gun highly for accuracy and build quality - I suspect an autoloader would simply be more finicky. Over / unders are normally alot more money than this - really feel like this Russian is a steal of a deal.

Part of this is also preference - as I kept looking at different designs, the classic look of the TOZ kept me coming back to it (it will also be a nice contrast to my 'fierce' little 10/22 with a foregrip, synthetic choate dragunov stock, and AR-15 style muzzlebrake).

This gun has been made for over 50 years - when this happens you know you have a stable design on your hands. Wish me luck - I've never even shot a shotgun before, but the idea of getting into some hunting and sport shooting is really appealing.

PLUS - The $250.00 price tag for what else is out there in this price range made this purchase really easy.
 
So I guess with one of the barrels fully choked you can't shoot steel out of it without making it modified too right?
 
They are chromed, just pop her on a lathe.


Btw, we now have 3 of the TOZ34ER's, man what a beauty! And what a price.
