This past weekend I bought a TOZ-34ER over and under shotgun with 28" barrels in IC and MOD for $250. The rifle is made by the Tula Arms Factory (Tula Oruzhyonnii Zavod or "TOZ") in Tula, Russia. It's a pretty crude manufacture--very definitely reminiscent of Soviet production style--but is a good solid well-built gun. It comes with fixed chokes, either IC and Mod or Mod and Full and was only available in 12ga from the dealer I bought mine from, although they're made in 20ga and perhaps others. It also takes only 2 3/4" shells. It has a ventrib sighting plane and a brass front sight. The metal finish is not highly polished but well blued. The wood is nicely shaped and checkered at the grip, but is not highly finished. The recoil pad looks adequate but not over thick. The shotgun comes with sling swivels installed. I haven't shot mine yet but I'll elaborate once I have. Perhaps others have experience with these?
