And now Webly & Scott's name is on the AKUS guns. They're importing their model 2000 to the U.S., list priced at $2500. Lots of dealers listed on their website.

I've had this DeHaan S2 28 ga. for 6 years now with absolutely no problems mechanically. Screw heads are all timed, inletting is better than I've seen on much more expensive guns, and I shoot it as well or better than any other gun I have. An S2 410 with 30" barrels also goes to the dove fields. DeHaans guns are better quality than the Turkish CZ's and equal to Cabela's Dickinsons in my opinion.

The newer CZ guns by Huglu are great shooters, durableback chromed finish chrome lined bores, hand;pe great and all mine tht a I owned shot where they were pointed.
I currently don't own one, but would pick another up in a heart beat if i had the opportunity!
I tend to buy and sell a lot of guns, so a common gun like the CZ or Yildiz does not last long, I flip them and buy another!
The only thing that bugs me about them are the swedged barrels for the chokes, I think they detract from the lines if the gun.
I have a hammer classic for a bit and shot some birds with it, great hammer double for the price, but when I found out Pedersoli was making a hammer 12 with browned barrels, well, the CZ got sent packing!!

True. Lets just think a minute a 25 pack of quality steel loads is about $15 while soft non-tox 25 pack is $100. We all know where the trend will be heading. You know, it's for our kids.

Pete's "probably the best value" German guns caught my eye. I'm not looking (oh yeah), have an early 16ga Model VIII Sauer that lets me shoot better than I am, but I get around overseas and would like to know of other makers on which to cast an eye.

My nomination for "best buy" in a Turkish gun is this Yildiz. It has man sized dimensions which, combined with longer barrels and an alloy receiver, make for admirable handling characteristics.

They are imported and sold by Academy Sports and all warranty work is done by Briley. Mine was a gift from a friend who knew I wanted a decent little .410 S x S for doves and quail. He paid $449 for it, on sale at $50 off regular price.

It had a heavy single selective trigger, which I reworked and lightened to about 3 1/2#. If you could see the quality work on the internals you would not believe it possible. Very polished parts on the trigger and hammers. It has performed flawlessly and has accounted for a limit of doves every time I have taken it to the field in the last three seasons. This was the most recent limit taken with it, yesterday afternoon.

Here's an in depth review of the CZ Bobwhite in 20 and 28 gauge. After reading it, I bought the 28. Things have improved since the review was written in 2006; my 28's wood is better than described in the review. Trigger pull was atrocious, but I got that remedied by a local gunsmith. Weight is 5.36 lbs.
