local shop is advertising this. Might buy one just because.

Back in the very early 80's, a plane jane 28" Mod Choke, Mossberg 500 was that price. With an additional 18" Cylinder Barrel was $109 (I bought this one), Or with the additional 24" Rifle Sighted Cylinder Barrel was $129(My brother bought this one) Sabot Slugs didn't come out until a couple years later. Remington, Winchester, and Federal 1-ounce rifled slugs grouped about the same, 2 to 3 inches at 50 yards. Brenneke 1-ounce finned slugs with the thick felt washer grouped just over an inch.

Those made in Turkey guns are pretty good.Ive got a couple and they always work fine. The price is unbeatable! You can't buy a used shotgun for that.

At that price, I'd buy a dozen. Just shoot until they won't shoot anymore and rather than cleaning it-pick up a clean one
What brand is it? Would love to snag one.

I bought a H&R/NEF 12 ga Pardner single-shot for $79 in '96 or '97 and thought it was a fair price.

I'd want to know if they can be fixed. I had to send my RIA single shot 20 gauge back twice before they replaced it with one that worked.
$89 is a cheap gun or an expensive paper weight.

I probably wouldn’t buy a Dozen, but buying one would be a temptation!
It has been said that out of all his guns, his favorite shotgun is his most personal possession. I feel that way about my shotguns. I can’t imagine getting close to one of those. I’ll use the 89 dollars to buy shells for my good shotguns

I think my buddy has a couple of them. They were a sort of door prize at a shooting course. I don't know where they were made, and they seemed a little clunky in the action, but I'm not a shotgun owner, so what do I know.
Cheap is as cheap does..........Wouldn't have one iffen it was free.
That kind of looks like a savage/stevens 320.
If that's what it is, it's a ChiCom Winchester 1300 copy.
I have two of them that I got at a pawn shop for $100. Excellent value for the money. Never had a problem, goes bang every time!

Can you get a decent reliable shotgun for $89.00? Possible I suppose, but hard to imagine.
Turkey does produce some fine shotguns. My son bought a Weatherby about 10 yrs ago that was made in Turkey. Sweet gun.
As far as no name shotguns go. My BIL bought a Rukko 12ga pump back in the 90s for about $100. My nephew has it now. He’s having an issue with it. I forget what. But I searched and searched thinking I might find parts for it. I can’t even find mention of the gun online. So I guess it’s a $100 boat anchor

When you think "Long Term", Turkey makes some Fair Shotguns.
Round count before Issues start is the factor! One of my HS Classmates and Sporting Clays partners owns 3 "Medium Expensive" Turkish shotguns! Matching Side by Sides. One he uses for sporting Clays, the second is in Turkey for lifetime warranty repairs, and the third is in transit! He has spent more on transit cost than the guns cost!
At 5000+ rounds a year, they don't last long!

Everyone asks, "How can they make 'em so cheap?"

Check out the graph indicating origin of guns being imported as of a couple of years ago.
In addition, this is a video of a Spanish newswoman touring a "Khyber Pass" gun factory. Be sure to turn on the English subtitles, if you can.

I had a Hatsan Escort 6 shot pump awhile back. "Unbadged" Benelli Nova that I bought for $100 used. Tight, reliable and as accurate as a ***** can be. Gave it to my son 5-6 years ago, he still has it. Joe
My thinking is not everyone can afford a "London Best". If that is all a person can afford buy it and a box of shells and it will probably last a lifetime. My aunt bought a Rossi .22 pistol and a box of shells and it protected her and the homestead for 50 years. Larry
