As luck would have it, several hours after posing this thread I saw a bit on Guns and Ammo TV (or another similar show) that visited the Stoeger plant which is located in Istanbal, Turkey. tjwatty is correct, Stoeger is a member of the Beretta family of companies and makes shotgun barrels for their own guns as well as for Beretta. Their plant is a modern, state-of-the-art facility and most of their machining is done with computerized milling machines. The show seemed to stress that any needed handwork was accomplished at reasonable cost due to the low labor expenses in Turkey. Of course, none of this addresses quality.

To answer Skeets question, I am not looking for a $450 gun to fulfill my desire of owning a dream $3500+ gun. But, I would like it to shoot where it is pointed and be reliable. All of my shotguns are 16 ga (and very old so I only fire target loads through them) so I feel a need for a 12 for hunting and a 20 for clays. A simple knock-around gun will fit the bill.
