Thoughts on these shotguns? I dont know anything about weatherby shotguns, much less this one in particular...

Huh....that's interesting. I'm mainly wanting to find a 20ga semiauto for a turkey gun since factory tss loads are becoming more of a thing, but it would also be my dove/rabbit gun on occasion, and that seems like something begging to be lost when time comes to swap it out....I'd found a used one for sale but may hold out for a Franchi

Look at a Stoeger m3020. I bought one last year and so far have really liked it. I think that gun and the Franchi and a Benelli are the closest to each other,in that order.

The Stoeger is also a Turkish made gun. You can get practically any level of quality from Turkish manufacturers. On the early models, Beretta made the barrels for the Stoeger and shipped them to Turkey for assembly. Later, Beretta bought the facility.

I wanted one of those SA08’s for a long time. If memory serves, it’s the same gun as the 20-ga. Mossberg. Or it was. I got a 20-ga. 870 and the urge left.

If you’re looking for suggestions the little Yildiz youth model 20 is a sweet shooter and the two we have have functioned flawlessly.
Ya'll are just overthinking it now

Have a youth 20 GA sa-08 that I dipped. Good little gun. Its a light weight 20 GA and had some kick for a youth, but I like shooting it.
For a high volume shooter, I can't comment.
For the money, good little shotgun.

1187 Compact models with the stock shims can be found for not much more. Yeah, but it's a Remington. I'd take the Turkish made Weatherby all day over the Remington.

Fortunately Weather, Mossberg and Tri Star all support their guns with parts if needed. If they ever stop importing them though, it's a whole different ball game. KBI (Charles Daly) use to import Turkish made semi autos...Good luck finding parts for them now. Unless Remington disappears you won't have that problem. Not to mention, if properly maintained with just a little cleaning from time to time, the 11-87 will perform just as well as the others, and retain more resale value.
