Shotgun Review: Spandau Premier Field - Gun Dog Magazine

Turkish guns have become popular in the States over the last couple decades, primarily because they are affordable. But not all Turkish firearm factories provide products of equal quality. Some Turkish import guns are plain cheap. Others, like the Spandau Premier Field, offer good quality at an attractive price point.

Boxlock over/under actions have been around for over a century, and there’s no secret recipe on how to build these guns. The variations from one gun to the next largely boil down to the quality of the machining and the component parts in the gun. Some very cheap Turkish guns in the past have had serious fitment and mechanical issues, but Spandau is different. Their guns are top-notch, with clean lines and quality craftsmanship that rivals some European guns. The Premier Field over/under is rather austere, with a brushed stainless receiver, blued 28- or 26-inch barrels, and a Turkish walnut stock, but the austere looks are enhanced by even finishes on the metal, quality checkering, and nice Turkish walnut on the stock. Chamberings options include 12-, 20-, and 28-gauge, and .410 bore, and the guns ship in a hard plastic case with five choke tubes in a Mobil choke thread pattern. These guns are currently being imported by SDS Imports, based in Knoxville, Tennessee.
