Turkish Shotgun Manufacturers All Making the Same Stuff?

I’d still rather have a Turkish made SxS than a Brazilian one, even with double triggers. It might be psychological, I just would.

I own a Turkish SxS, S&W Elite Gold, (now the Cabela's Dickinson) made by AKUS. True bone and charcoal case coloring and hardening, true Dickson triggerplate action, engine turned internals; very well made.

I have a Turkish made Gazelle O/U 410 that has been just fine for my uses. No it won't hold up like a Browning or Beretta O/U for a competition shooter, but for the amount of shooting I do it is just fine.

Although I suspect that if the Turks get serious, they could turn out a comp gun every bit as good as a Beretta or Browning. Many Italian companies have factories (or interests in some) in Turkey
