Which models are their higher end, prettiest wood, blue, etc? Their website really doesn't address it.

I have a Cypher 28 gauge O/U. It's on the higher end. It has ejectors and extended choke tubes. It shoots 3 inch shells. The 'blueing' is black powder coat I think. The TT-15 is more so. It's a target gun. The Turkish walnut on these is quite pretty! None of their O/U's are in the Yildiz Prostar class which start at $4000. I paid $2000 for my Citori 28 gauge 3 inch gun last year. It's a pound heavier than the Cypher. Got the Cypher for $800. Nice gun, but not in the Citori's class! I'll add, trigger pull on the Cypher is 3 1/2 pounds on the lower barrel and 3 3/4 pounds on the upper. Citori is less than five pounds on both barrels.

I had a Trinity 12/28 for my son
It was a fine gun, no issues mechanical. Extractor model
Had a loose fore end, but tightened easily with the screw
Nice wood and few coats of tru oil improved the finish on it
Pros: inexpensive, mechanically sound
Cons: not available in 30 or 32 in barrels when I bought it
Only about 7 lbs in you like a heavier gun.

I think alternate versions on their O/U are based on the same receiver

Served him very well for few years and as a guest gun for our friends Traded it for a dedicated clays gun 12/32
