Are CZ/Huglu shotguns so bad that Browning, Beretta, & Benelli shotguns are worth 2x or 3x the price?
It's not so much that the Turk guns are "so bad"; it's that, at least in my opinion, the Brownings, Berettas, Benellis, et al, are worth the extra money in the long haul in terms of better durability, reliability, workmanship, finish, material and resale value.

I saw a very nice and well cared for Weatherby Orion at a LGS for $800.00. Didn't look like it was shot much. No scratches in the wood finishes or in the bluing.

It can be if you get into it and want to excel - but that is true for ANY hobby or sport. When my kids were young, they loved to snow ski. Lessons, daily pass, gear, etc. (and they kept outgrowing stuff) got real expensive real fast. I know a lot of guys who have some collector/hobby amateur car/race car - and on and on..... hopefully when you buy a good shotgun, it is a buy-once, cry-once experience. For some folks that might mean $1k, others 10K and some others $100K for the gun. Whatever works best for you. As long as it fits, and you're enjoying yourself, it doesn't matter what the other has
There is a lot of good advice in this thread and I don't disagree with the members who recommend buying a high end O/U shotgun for target shooting. They all reason well.
There are indeed instances when one should splurge. I splurge in buying furniture and cookware, for example. I expect them to last a long time and I will use them often.
On the other hand, one should know beforehand what he is getting himself into financially.
