Gun and gear reviews Is this a good pickup?

I recently got my pal and I’m looking at a ton of options. I came across this and it looks amazing along with the price. Does any have it or have additional information on it

Depends on your budget. If you can afford to fork out some cash for an a300 or a 1301 then you’d be FAR better off to do that than buy something Turkish.

Why is Turkish bad?

You can get very lucky with Turkish guns and they work fantastic for the price, but most people have had negative experiences with them due to quality control being all over the place and warranty claims can often go nowhere depending on the manufacturer which is frustrating.

If you are buying Turkish with the intent of hunting, put a couple hundred down range through it first and build some trust with it. I’ve only had good luck with my Turkish purchases, but when I’m hunting, I take my 500 or maverick.
I’ve had 2 FTE from a Sulun turknelli, more than a couple of thousand slugs, 7.5 and 00. Anything with a plastic trigger don’t have high expectations for.
For the sport of shooting, nothing wrong with Turkish, just be handy enough to take it apart and clean it, or understand simple machining and maintenance. For the price of them alone compared to the real deal Holyfield Benelli and Berettas, they are great fun, and worth it for any enthusiast to try. If you hate it, just sell it on gunpost for $150 more than you paid for it new like everyone else on there

Their quality can be hit or miss; firearms are precision devices, and sometimes Turkish manufacturers lack the quality control to ensure they work well or last.

This would be a good time to read up on that, lots of information out there.
