I wonder if they are making the "Field Grade" guns that Orvis is currently selling? Orvis Field Grade Guns I would be very curious to see what the pricing is on these guns. In the current economic environment, a well made and marketed gun from Turkey could pose some real competition to the lower end AyAs and Arrietas, as well as the likes of Fausti, Guerini and B. Rizzini.
Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

Forgot to say they are almost double in price to the CZ just for the Orvis name and straight grip vs prince of whales on the sxs. They are the same gun as the CZ Ringneck other than the grip style.

Color Case O/U  Looks very similar to a CZ Woodcook, but obviously done at a much higher grade.

I have handled and shot a few Turkish guns. The old advice to "buy the gun, not the name" makes more sense with these than with some others. Some are very good, some are clunkers, but it's hard to tell until you have the gun in hand. My conclusion is that you can get a good one, but you'd better plan to keep it forever because the resale is just not there. These seem to take a bigger hit on resale than even the moderately priced Spanish guns.

Why would we assume that the single triggers on the expensive Huglu guns are any better than the single triggers on the first generation Huglu guns that just did not work?

I think anyone here that has seen previous Turkish built doubles has quite a bit of skepticism.

If I'm not mistaken, the O/U gun is the same of the Kimber Marias... not the CZ. These guns are built in the City of Huglu... but NOT built by the company Huglu.
I wouldn't at all be surprised to see Turkey as the next Spain. With many of the Spanish makers in trouble, shops in Turkey have will have opportunity to step up and take their place... IF THEIR GUNS ARE ON PAR, QUALITY WISE. Just think, Spain at one time was turning out a lot of junk and that left a lot of shooters with a bad taste in their mouth for Spanish doubles. But, today, Spain is turning out some real gems and their reputation has been, not only saved, but brought to higher levels that its ever been.
Hopefully, someone here has examined these new sidelocks from Turkey. I am sending emails to the company now regarding pricing.
Adam
