Highly-rated Turkish semi-auto shotgun praised for reliability and value, though buyers should expect a break-in period and heavy loads for optimal cycling.

Had a few malfunctions in the first 30 rounds but after that it ran great
Reliability & cycling33%
Most Turkish-style mag-fed shotguns like this have serious cycling issues, but the VR-80 really performs well
Looks & design25%
Loved the look of this shotty. A Turkish made awesome shotgun. I found the machining, fit, and finish to be excellent
Value & price19%
Lot of Gun for the price. Manufacturer not only provides $100 rebat to buy extra parts
Low recoil12%
For a 12 gauge there is minimal recoil and it's a blast to shoot
Common concerns
Break-in required21%
I just think that a new gun should work well without having to spend so much time and money breaking it in
Magazine change difficulty17%
The California compliant feature makes it a bit of a pain to change magazines
Light load cycling issues15%
Love the gun but only will cycle high brass /heavy loads . I've cycled atleast 60 rounds through it and still won't cycle light loads
Rebate/pricing concerns8%
You can get this gun for $600 on many gun sites. Stop ripping people off!
