It appears to be the same Turkish made shotgun marketed by Charles Daly in the US.

I have a 12 guage s/s version of this shotgun, and it's my first ever weapon that i have ever owned. It has served me so well in both clay shooting and grouse hunting. It fits me so well and swings so fast when shooting for clay pigeons and when i go hunting for grouse birds. Akkar Churchill really knows how to produce quality shotguns. First class gun makers!

Got mine this week. Very nice oil finish stock. Extraordinary well balanced, fits nice and does not kick too much even with magnum shells (20ga). Of course it's a 1000€-Gun and not a "best gun", but it works fine! I just needed tonoil ot thoroughly and work it a bit, now everything goes smooth. I got the 26" barrel and this thing is fine for woodcock, snipe and so on. It's light and a bit pointy and swings well though. I really really like it.

Do you use steel shots? I would love to get one, but I must use lead free ammunition. Never had a 20 gauge, so I am unsure, whether I better use a 12 g? Main use ducks, fox and hare.

Kudos! One of the few reviews on that specific gun. Would of liked more in-depth review (never too late! You mention it balances well...show it) and a more verbose description (20ga; Does it come with extractors or selectors, weight, does it lock up tight, is the unlocking of the action effortless,...etc). It looks fantastic. Cheers

@@hikingfish3 I agree. I wish we had taken this to the trap range, however that day nothing was flying so we got very few shots off that day. Unfortunately, that model was sent for T&E and it was shipped back.

this is the problem I have several nice sxs shotguns they are 30 or 32" barrels in a proper side by side the barrels should be long because in quality barrels they will be. At 26 or 28" the barrels are heavy lumps.

@@HuntingLifeLive it may but that just means its a heavy poor quality barrel. I think basically I remember having an old 30" barrel trap shotgun that was miserable. I moved onto a 28" and it was much better... but now 20 years later my trap gun is 34 and my aporting clays is 30 on a semi auto or 32 on a OU the barrels are just so much better. I could only consider the value of a short harrel for maybe really tight cover? But I use a 28 gauge CSMC with 32" barrels in the brush in the UP just fine. If I can see a bird I can swing a tube

@@pbgd3 I am not trying to debate you on this, this is a side by side for under 1200.00 that shoots well, isn't fancy and is a great working gun in 20 gauge. All of those things are hard to find in one gun. There are only two reasonably priced Side by Sides on the market this one and the Tristar and both are worthy investments in our opinion.
