Silver Eagle
Silver Eagle shotguns are manufactured in Turkey and distributed in the US by TR Imports, offering semi-automatic 12 and 20 gauge shotguns across tactical, hunting, and waterfowl configurations. The lineup spans the home-defense-oriented RZ17 Tactical — the brand’s standout model — the walnut-stocked Sporter (including a left-hand configuration, a genuinely uncommon option in this price range), the magnum 3.5” Foris and MAG 35 waterfowl guns, and youth-sized 20 gauge options, all built to compete on price against established American and Italian shotgun brands.

RZ17 Tactical: Silver Eagle’s Signature Model
The RZ17 Tactical is Silver Eagle’s most distinctive and widely recognized model, built specifically for home defense and tactical use. It ships with a chrome-lined 18.5” barrel, a fixed adjustable-length and comb stock, a pistol grip, and 4+1 capacity in 12 gauge. The chrome-lined bore adds corrosion resistance and eases cleaning — a practical feature for a gun that may sit loaded and ready for extended periods. Of the entire Silver Eagle lineup, the RZ17 Tactical is the model most specifically searched for by name, and the one that best represents what the brand is known for. See our dedicated Silver Eagle RZ17 Tactical page for a full buying guide.
Sporter: Silver Eagle’s Field and Clays Shotgun — Including a Left-Hand Option
The Sporter trades tactical features for a traditional profile — a 26” to 28” barrel, Turkish walnut stock, and 4-round capacity, available in both 12 and 20 gauge. It’s built for wingshooting and clays rather than defensive use, competing with entry-level offerings from Franchi, Stoeger, and Weatherby. Notably, the Sporter is also available in a left-hand configuration — a genuinely uncommon option at this price point, since most budget semi-autos only offer right-hand ejection. For left-handed shooters who’ve struggled to find an affordable field shotgun built for them, this is a real differentiator.
Foris and MAG 35: Silver Eagle’s Magnum Waterfowl Shotguns
The Foris and MAG 35 are built around a 3.5” magnum chamber for waterfowl and turkey hunting, with 24” to 28” barrels and camo finishes including Mossy Oak and Realtree patterns. The 3.5” chamber handles the heaviest waterfowl loads on the market, a must-have spec for serious goose hunters.
XP Marine and Youth: Specialized Configurations
The XP Marine brings a nickel/silver-toned finish and a shorter 20” barrel to the lineup, built for a home-defense or marine-environment role where corrosion resistance matters as much as handling. The 20 gauge Youth model uses a 24” barrel sized down for smaller-framed shooters learning the fundamentals of wingshooting or clays without the recoil and bulk of a full-size 12 gauge.
