Effective range would not vary much and is dependent upon chokes and not where it is made.

What would vary is how well a shotgun patterns.An 'imported' shotgun is useless if it shoots doughnuts.'Imported' is no guarantee of quality or reliability.Some of the old IOF made shotguns are pretty ok for the price.At 25-30K you will not go wrong buying one that is in good condition.

Thanks. But my question are still there. we all know that effective Range are depend on the choke level. I spposse that many of IFG person have imported shotgun and they have the experience with them( their effective range and choke level)and they tell me about this. (An 'imported' shotgun is useless if it shoots doughnuts.'Imported' is no guarantee of quality or reliability )What its means kindly eleborate it. I cannot understand (if it shoots doughnuts.'Imported' ) what it is kindly explain

Instead of comparing statistical data on imported/locaal dbbl gun performance, it would be more appropriate to understand that it is like comparing an 'Ambassador' car with an imported BMW or Mercedes ! Both types of cars have 4 wheels, an engine, a gearbox ...etc but you will agree that a BMW /Merc is streets ahead in performance, styling and user-satisfaction.
Shotguns, whether Indian or foreign -- have the same physical parameters > a stock, twin barrels. triggers etc. but there the comparison ends. When you handle an imported gun, the 'feel', the 'fit' ,the manufacturing standards,the ease of swing and the balance ...are infinitely superior to an IOF gun.That is the main reason serious shooters prefer imported guns. They fit you better and therefore ensure better shooting performance. Statistical data on comparative shot patterns etc is only a theoretical approach.

absinroy,

I have handled 'imported' shotguns that did not fit me well.In fact the one that I own at present positively hates me.I have handled a couple of IOF made shotguns that can be turned into something really nice with a bit of tweaking.I have also seen a lot of 'imported' shotguns that should have been sold to the kabbadiwala.
