Curious if anyone has had any experience with this brand of under over. Recently came across one never heard of this brand.

No experience with them. They are made in Turkey. They are nice looking for the money and seem like a decent gun. Just remember they are not a Beretta or Browning hence the low price.
If I had a dollar for every gobbler I thought I fooled I'd be well off!

Yeah this is the model i seen. Seem like a killer turkey rig. Too different chokes could be used, one close range another long. Hadn't seen another factory dipped camo under and over in 3.5".

My cousin has everyone in it except the 28ga. I'm gonna get a 28 as it's stupid light. They seem well made. Use Mobil choke to I believe

I was amazed at how light they were and how well balanced.
I assume it puts up a good pattern ?

I bought one several years ago and have just beat the heck out of it & never had any problems with it. I don't get to use it as much as I used to because my son fell in love with it and is now using it for everything. It does take the berretta/benelli Mobil choke and patterns very well with the 2 extended turkey chokes it came with. The other 5 provided flush chokes are garbage thoe and the tire rubber recoil pad went bye bye too.
The first pic is a Carsons extended full .695 w/ hevi 3.5" 1.75 oz #6's @ 25 yrds & the second pick is the other barrel w/ Jelly head .655 @ 40 yrds.
Best of luck

No experience with the O/U but I do have a Turkey/Waterfowl combo that will shoot the lights out. They aren't a 1500 shotgun but the only difference between them is the price tag.
I was getting 220+ with 3" magblends and 6s and a PG 670.
I haven't had any issues in the last 3 or 4 years.

I use the TriStar Setter ST 12 gauge O/U for all my upland bird hunting and trap shooting. Swings beautifully, minimal felt recoil, accurate (my trap scores went up 10%). It has 28" barrels and came with 5 Benelli Mobile Choke style tubes. Absolutely love it!!!
