I have a Yildiz Elegant A3T SxS 12 gauge. Haven't fired it a lot yet, but it seems to function rather well, solidly built, tight lockup, and reasonably nice looking for what I paid for it. Wish I had gotten the ejector model, but they simply didn't have that in stock when I bought this one. I had a Tristar O/U some years back, and I did NOT like it. It was TOO light, felt sort of flimsy, and really let you know you had fired it unless you were using only light target loads.AndyC1911 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 10, 2022 8:57 pm Here's what I found so far about Turkish O/U shotguns:
Yildiz and KOFS seem to be the 2 brands that are well-respected - and Khan Arms almost universally hated. Panzer and Merak seem to have little market-share and info on their quality is scant.
Mossberg Gold Reserve (26") - extended chokes - almost certainly Khan Arms
Mossberg Silver Reserve II - Khan Arms
Tristar Trinity LT (28") - 5-yr warranty - Khan Arms
Charles Daly/Chiappa 930.218 model (26") - short LOP 13.9" - Merak Arms
Stevens 555 Enhanced (26") - rebranded KOFS Sceptre XSE
ATI Cavalry SXE/SVE - ATIGKOF410SVE (26") - KOFS (same as Sceptre XSE but diff engraving)
ATI Crusader Sport SGD - ATIG410CRS26 (26") - extended chokes (CRS likely indicates Panzer Arms)
Yildiz SPZ ME (26") - everyone seems to love them (but sole retailer is Academy who rarely have them in stock).
