I don’t get the Turkish gun hate on this sub. I’ve shot ~2K flawless shots with my Canuck and TNA VR-66, both bought for <$550. Most folks I see at the range don’t have issues with them.

Turkish guns  are like Chinese products.

There are brands that do them well. And there are brands that cut corners to save money.

I'm not surprised to see the TNA VR 66 doing well. Having it built for TNA and warranties here in Canada, they have every incentive to make it reliable enough that they don't need to ever fix it.

Same with Canuck.  With  O'Dell Engineering handling all the warranty here, and picking and choosing which products make the cut, you know they are going to chose the most reliable of the Turkish makers for their guns. And again, less failures  means less time with warranty claims so it's to their benefit to pick the best guns to import and rebrand.

Same with makers like Winchestor and Weatherby and CZ who sell Turkish shotguns under their name. They have massive incentive to pick good makers in order to keep their reputation.

My Canuck Pump action has been flawless for the past 5 years. Though it's pretty hard to mess up a pump shotgun.
