Gun and gear reviews Canuck Operator Tacop elite reviews?

Before we start. Yeah. I know. Turkshit, turknelli, buy once cry once, etc etc. I get it isn't a go to war gun, it's a clone of a $3k gun that costs $1k. Ive heard mostly good stuff about the Canuck operator, but I imagine the Tacop is potentially a bit more refined given the original has been on the market for years.

I'm split between a 1301 and this, the fact of it being half the cost is the main appeal. Probably only going to get shot maybe a dozen times a year, likely less than 1000 shells yearly.

Anyone got one that can speak to it?

Edit:

Well out of the dozen comments, 2 actually had some feedback I was looking for.

Bought the Canuck. I guess I'll post an update when I get a chance to put a few hundred shells through it. It's not going to be as nice as the 1301, but if I get enough use out of it, I'll sell it and justify upgrading.

"A bit more refined" man you are giving the turks waaay to much credit.

I really dont see how this is even a question if you can truly afford a 1301

Simple, if I can spend 50% less on a gun that still has a decent level of reliability, I have 50% more money for ammo. Just because you can afford the top tier one, doesn't mean we all have a need for it. If I was blasting thousands of shells a year, I wouldnt even be asking the question.

It does not have a decent level of reliability. Fortunately the warranty is solid.

If you don't care if your gun sometimes goes click when it should go bang, then whatever, get the operator. But if you can save up 1k you can save up $1800, I'd go for the 1301, a Mossberg 940 or an A300 patrol over anything made in turkey
