Well, the point of the article was affordable shotguns for those on a budget.
All depends on who makes it, to differing specs determine quality vs where it came from. I know of two Turkish airgun manufactures. One puts out good quality air rifles at decent prices. A newer company, them not so much. But I think they have improved in the QC.
Do the research, talk to people who own shotguns, talk to the local gun shop. Make an informed decision.
And if you can, test one out.
