If the OP were shooting pallet loads I totally agree.Serious clay target shooters shoot ammunition by the pallet load and as if someone else bought it. Generally, a Browning Citori or a Beretta 686 series are considered the minimum that will stand up to that kind of use.
There may be some other "budget" shotguns from valued manufacturers like Valmet or older Remingtons that may also fit this bill but the Citori and Beretta 686 series provides a "standard" to judge other shotguns against.
While considered expensive by many, a Browning Citori or Beretta 686 series will be easy to sell if clay games end up not in the person interest.
Turkish budget shotguns maybe not so much.
For the casual dove shoot every fall where a box or two of ammunition is shot, then about any shotgun will be serviceable.
My competitive skeet gun is a Browning/Miroku Citori tubed for skeet guages (20, 28 and .410). It has served me well.
However, a twice a month recreational shooter will do fine with about any decent quality gun. I'm curious as to who has actually seen a Turkish gun give up? This isn't intended to be argumentative. I am curious as to statistical reality.
Had I listened to internet opinion as pure fact I'd have never bought two Kimber Montanas, one a 325WSM elk hammer and a tiny light as a feather 257 Roberts for deer and antelope, both plenty accurate for their uses.
I'm asking, because I might get something for occasional trap shooting. I'm looking at the Stoeger offering.
