Hey guys, I tried searching but found little results, so here goes...
Thinking of picking one of these bad boys up, was wondering if anyone here owns one or has any input for me.
Apparently they're made in Turkey? Is that something I should be concerned with?
 
I have one, bought it a year ago, I'm really really happy with it. It has functioned flawlessly! Eats everything I put through it (mainly slugs) never had a FTF or FTE. The action is smooth. When I bought it I had narrowed it down to the Winchester or an 870, both good shot guns, I went with the Winchester sxp defender mainly just to be different, seems all my buddies have 870's, SO glad I did. Can't say enough good about it. My only complaint is that the finish scratches really easy, other than that Im totally satisfied! Get one, you won't be disappointed.
 
I also have one. Biggest bonus for me is its light weight. Just a hair over 6 lbs, where as the mossbergs are ~6.5 and the equivilant 870 is a little over 7 lbs.

It's a gun I pack so the weight is a big bonus. It's also been reliable and has a good recoil pad.
 
I have one and don't see myself getting rid of it any time soon. Too bad it doesn't come with the full-length magazine tube and there isn't much for aftermarket accessories avaiable, but it's a good shotgun for the price.
 
I'm with Kagia, few accessories and the aesthetic look of the magazine tube not being the same length of the barrel turns me off. I'm sure it functions 100% though!
 
I was looking at these also. Felt very good in my hands at the gun shop but then one of the other shoppers mentioned that the length would not be suitable for skeet. Since my range doesn't allow anything but slugs that would mean I wouldn't get any use out of it.
The store employee said that at Shot Show Winchester offered a two barrel package, otherwise it was unlikely you could order in a longer additional barrel.
 
I just bought one, i love it so far, about 300 rounds through it so far, everything from 3" slugs, to 2 3/4 00 buck, it took every type of round i put in it no problems at all.

Anyone know of a sidesaddle that will fit?
