The CZ is made in Turkey, and Turkish shotguns can run from garbage to unpolished diamonds.

I am awaiting the results of the CZ line of side by sides that have been out for a year or so to see and hear what is happening to them in terms of reliability.

My question for these guns is where do you get these guns repaired? Where would you get a replacement stock for example.

I would be careful (buyer beware) before I bought one of these guns.

Instead, look for a used B gun (Berretta or Browning) over and under that is shot by millions and parts are sort of easy to come by.

Turkish guns are noramlly a good deal , but some of the Hulgu guns had a bad run of the first bunch to hit these shores.
Firing pins , bad triggers, and doubling were the major cpomplaints.
HOWEVER, they have sorted out their QA issues, and Huglu is building top notch guns now.
The DeHann guns are fancied up, tuned up Huglus, BTW.
The guys on this forum can give you the low-down ( both good AND bad ) about the Huglu guns

I shoot a CZ bobwhite in 28 gauge , and anyone who has seen this gun in action will tell you that it kills stuff at distances that rival the big bores, and is stone cold reliable!

I love SXS's with English stocks and double triggers, and have another coming , so I am selling mine.
I have also shot a few 20's, one a Yidliz, and they are a very light, good handling gun.
Clay At Prophet River can get the Turkish guns serviced, BTW.
The CZ guns come with black chromed barrels, chrome lined bores, and screw in chokes.
If there is one thing I'm not fussy on it's the wood finish, it could be better.
However, other CZ's have tremendous wood and great oil finishes on them.

I just got a Yildiz 20ga O/U and love it. It is light, the wood is beautiful, Shoots really well and was a heck of a lot cheaper than other O/Us I was looking at. Also was hooked up through Clay at Prophet River. My friend has the same gun in a 12ga for a few years now and he has never had any problems with it. I looked at the CZs and like them as well but I got a better deal on the Yildiz.

I spoke with Clay about this very thing; CZ or Yildiz. He sells both and seems to like both, however, he recommends anybody wanting to shoot clays everyweekend get the CZ as its steel. Love my Yildiz and love the weight, however, I can see the lightweight receiver not take the pounding of a hundred shells every weekend for too many years.
I like it better than the CZ but the CZ is likely going to take high volume better.

^ i would agree with that. if you are a field shooter that shoots the occasional clays...the weight of the Y gun i had to beat..and their wood is gorgeous.

if you are a clays guy....the lightweight will be hard on your shoulder and your gun
