They are not made by Hatsan, thank you very much.

 

But they are made in Turkey.

 

They are not a Turkish gun re-badged as a Winchester.

 

They are a gun designed and checked by Winchester which is why the launch was delayed by almost a year until the spec was exactly as they intended it.

 

Do I have 1, yes of course or I wouldn't have replied that way.

 

What do I think of it? Well I bought a mint 2nd had gun, that I could not tell hade been shot, for £250. Best £250 ever spent in a gun shop.

 

IT is as good as any available pump on the market and better than most. Forget what they say about the sxp being the pump that thinks it's an auto, that features in some of the marketing blurb, it's a simple basic pump action shotgun that is an absolute delight th shoot.

 

OK, it has a low stock, and also a short pull, they are the only real negs to speak of, but it depends on you. For me a low comb is essential, and I fitted a Pachmayer stock extensin to bring it up to about 14 3/4" pull.

 

In it's favour it is 3" magnum proofed, takes browning invector plus chokes, and is light, has less recoil and the bit I don't get is that it is quieter than my O/U.

 

Front bead sight is so so, but I changed mine to a small fibre optic bead, 3mm, thread in courtesy of Beretta for less than a fiver delivered.

 

Verdict = bloody great gun, get 1

 

Anymore info just ask.

 

Edited to add;

 

Have a check around, before I bought mine I could not find a single word against them from any one that had actually shot one, hence my direct reply to the previous poster who had 2nd hand info from a friend of Fred who has the shop next to his mate Joe who told him he had heard th............ ;) , you know what I mean.
