[QUOTE="cfvickers, post: 585264, member: 25488"] When I was there I bought a couple of huglu shotguns. The importer here in the states will not service them at all and says that they are not of the same quality as the ones he imports. However, from the examples I looked at they are far and away better. My were both higher grade over/under 28 gauge but everything about them seems to be of good quality. They are not a Berretta or Belgian browning quality, but they are certainly better than any of the cheap over/under shotguns I have come across here. I know you have several Turkish manufacturers that make rifles as well, do they offer anything with good accuracy and quality? It would seem you could save some money going that direction and if you could find a good machinist the tools to rechamber a barrel should be easy to come by or to get shipped to you. I doubt you could rechamber to a big .338 but there are more powerful options in 7mm or .308 and an 8mm-06 Ackley is a good round if you can get a good long range bullet over there. Not on par with a 338 magnum, but will carry energy a long ways, I was able to shoot accurately with one a 13 years old so recoil shouldn't be too bad. Mine was made on a turkish 98 action. surely you guys have those around. I have a 6.5x55 mutant built with a large ring small shank turkish 98 action and a swede barrel that has been turned down and cut to 27 inches. THe guy then carved a stock from OAK!!! Put a cherry forend tip on it and used a weatherby deluxe stock for his model to shape it. Glass bedded the whole thing and its a really unique rifle to me.
