And yet another Turkish made shotgun hits the market. They are new to the market, so you won't find much n long term reliability. And parts may also be an issue.

The big thing that interested me was they claim to have eliminated the Benelli clicl😂. Gawd knows how many ducks have lived because of that sound. Love my Vinci but when you are in a laydown brushed with barley the click can happen when it gets western out there.

I have no such issue with my cheap SX-3.

The SX-3 is not made in Turkey, the pump action SXP is made in Turkey.

Gotcha. Seems to be some decent guns from there now. I've heard the SXP's are quite reliable.

There actually was a recall on the SXP, due to a serious safety concern.

They've only been out in N. America for maybe a year or so, seen a few reviews on them, all positive so far, but haven't noticed anyone selling them in Canada yet. They likely need a year or two of sales in the US and maybe some dove shooters and clay shooters to use them and review them before they get a status as a decent gun or a dud. And there are the Stoegers and Weatherby's and etc. out there for them to compete with, so, it'll take a fair bit of arm twisting and PR for them to get established over here.
