I agree. I'm surprised they've gotten so expensive. I know it was the Stone Ages, but in '99 I bought two for less than $600. On another note, Pops used to have some really nice leather gun cases -- might be worth a look if you're killing time on the alley. Z

I bought two back in 1999 when I was deployed to Incirlik. There were a couple of brothers (names something like Mahmet and Bahment) that ran a small shop about 1/3 of the way down the alley from the base -- wonder if that's where you're deployed and if those two are still there. Anyway, I was very happy with my guns, but will warn you that quality control was variable. Since we were buying so many, the brothers let us take several to the skeet range on base and determine which ones we were actually going to buy. Several had sticky firing pins, but the rest worked like a charm. I sold one after I got back to the States (for more than I purchased both for at Incirlik) and have kept the other. I haven't hunted with it, but find it's a pretty decent shotgun for skeet and sporting clays. The only trouble is, when folks see you break it out, they figure it's a $2000 gun, and expect you do shoot better than I do ;-). Hope that helped, Z

Hi all, I'm fairly new to TN and brand new to the site. Long time hunter (haven't found a local place though) and handgun shooter. I shoot at MSSA pretty regularly and occasionally at Range USA. Glad to be here. Z
