I believe Turkey.

Huglu is the mfg (at least as late as 2014)


Any input on Huglu oneonceload?

Huglu is a company and also the city/area in Turkey where guns are made. I have a S&W Elite Gold (heckuva deal when they were discontinued at half price made by a different Turkish company and it is excellent. Huglu, the company, like Spain in the earlier decades after WWII, is getting better. They have state of the art equipment, but like big gun makers who make under others' names, they build quality to the price point the seller wants - so, if you buy a cheap gun it will be cheap in price and quality. If you buy a better one, it will be better quality and higher in price. Similar in thought to Remington with the cheaper 870 Express over the 870 Wingmaster. With double guns, especially the SxS variety, barrel regulation is typically poor on cheap guns as it is labor intensive and that costs more. The triggers on my S&W aren't bad, but they sure aren't as crisp as a Kreighoff either - very passable for a field gun, not as much if it was a target gun. Price isn't always an indicator as I got to try the new Benelli over-under and its trigger sucks - like a two stage Mauser military trigger; but it is new and things have bugs in the beginning from even the best folks).

What helps CZ is they do stand behind guns with their name on them, even if they didn't make it personally. If this is your choice, get as good a quality as you can. It would help if you had the chance to try some out to see if the triggers, balance, handling, etc. are up to what you expect/need.
