Huglu Renova SA Review
The Huglu Renova SA is a semi automatic, inertia-driven, shotgun from Turkey. Wolverine Supplies had them on sale for a screaming deal and I’m a sucker for a sale, so I bought one. Is the Huglu Renova the same as the CZ 1012? Yes, with a few accessory differences. The case is the same, shotgun…

Ternion T870 & T870-1 Review
The Ternion International T870 and T870-1 are Chinese made, Remington 870 clones. At $400-500, they’re more affordable than the Remington 870 Express shotguns that they compete with and they come with more features. These shotguns were sent to me by Ternion International for review. Above: T870 with mag extension added Below: T870-1 without mag extension…

Girsan MC312 Review
After the Benelli inertia system patent expired, we’ve seen an explosion in the number of shotguns using their system. It’s easy to see why: they’re simple in number of parts, clean shooting, and very reliable. The Girsan MC312 is an inertia-driven, semi automatic shotgun made in Turkey. It’s budget priced (I got this one on…

Soviet IJ-12 O/U Shotgun Review
The IJ-12 is a Soviet era O/U (Over/Under), hammerless, double trigger, 12 gauge shotgun. They’re very reasonably priced on the used market and based on the “arrow in shield” mark on mine, it was made in the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant. I bought mine from Intersurplus in Canada for under $300. These shotguns were superseded by…

Charles Daly 101 Folding Single Shot Shotgun Review
The Charles Daly 101 is a single shot, folding shotgun made in Turkey and distributed by Chiappa. They’re based on the older Beretta FS-1/412. They use extractors (no ejectors) and have interchangeable chokes. They come with a variety of barrel lengths and come in 410, 20 gauge and 12 gauge. They’re also super cheap. I…

BioAmmo Review
BioAmmo is compostable shotgun ammo made in Spain. Wolverine Supplies asked if I wanted to try some for 3 gun and I did! The 1 1/4 oz target loads piqued my interest and I got some of that. I didn’t get a chance to run the shells at a 3 gun match for some time:…

Savage Stevens 320 Review
The Savage Stevens 320 is a Chinese-made, value-priced, pump shotgun imported by Savage. It’s based on the Winchester 1300, which uses a rotating bolt design. I bought this one because for $299, I got a 28″ barrel with choke and an 18.5″ barrel with cyl bore. You can sometimes get them even cheaper with just…

Savage Model 24 Review
The Savage Model 24 is an over/under combo gun. It’s a 22LR rifle barrel overtop a 410 shotgun barrel, though some other similar variants like the 24V were available in heavier-duty centerfire rifle and larger shotgun gauges. They stopped making them in 2010, but released the Model 42 as its successor with polymer stocks. They’re…

Sulun Arms SS-211 Mini Shotgun Review
The Sulun Arms SS-211 is a Turkish mini over/under shotgun, kind of like the Warzone 725 shotgun you’d use in Call of Duty but even smaller. With a 10″ barrel and a stubby little stock, it’s one of the tiniest non-restricted shotguns you’ll find in Canada right now. Specifications Note: some “factory defect” models vary…

Mossberg 510 Super Bantam 20 Gauge Review
Getting kids into hunting is tough. They have to get up early, travel far, wait long, and dad’s guns are heavy, long, and poorly fitted. When it comes to shotguns, there’s not really a lot of choice for youth shotguns out there, but the Mossberg 510 Youth is one of them. While this one is…
