Buy recommendations Does anyone have experience with Churchill shotguns?
I'm considering getting one (I'm looking at the 612 with a 12" barrel) but I'm seeing mixed reviews everywhere. Not mixed in the sense they're mixed across the board, some websites they're rated extremely well and some are rated poorly. It makes me think either certain retailers mess with their item ratings, or their quality is truly all over the place.
Does anyone have one or know anyone who has one? What's your experience with them? $300 for something that always goes bang when you want it to would be a dream.

Turkish shotguns can be good and bad. Pick the brand that has good customer support behind it. Buy it from a shop that cares about your post sales experience. In order, I would buy Federation Firearms, Revolution Armory, Churchill. The other brands work too as long as the shop you buy it from cares about your business.
Also, remember that most people that are happy with a product will not post a good review, but everyone that is unhappy will post a bad review.
"Trouble customers" that have issues that are their own fault are the loudest. Make sure to actually read the bad reviews. The "crazy" will show through.
