I thought loading would be easier with the fore end back and the loading gate open?
To be honest it was only after a brief discussion with another shooter at my club where they pointed it out, I can't even remember what gun he had :-)
In that case the Revo might be really good for the money!

Normal procedure is to load the chamber when the forend is back, slide the forend forward then load the magazine. That way you have a loaded gun ready to go immediately should a target present itself.

Demonic: I will ask the missus: she and the shop chap were rabbiting on and on and on - I think it's about £300- £400 here. To be fair it was a small shop in a small town, prices would be better in say Istanbul or Izmir I reckon
Couldn't get to handle the Husan one, looks quite sturdy though, albeit polymer. The Pump action had metal magazines..it's made in Konya I think..gun making is a cottage industry here - lots of co-operatives.

Errr That's a NO! The price shown is 1,300 Turkish Lira not pounds on the web page.... which would make it £335.00ish at current rates.
So there you go, about £335 over here. Wait till summer, head over have a holiday and buy one, take back with you...Exchange rates are pretty good from £ to Turkish new lira (around 3.66 lira / £1.00). All you need is a passport: it will NOT be given to you in your hands to take away as before but delivered to the airport on your departure.
Just make sure you have a slot for it of course...
