Both my sons first shotgun were Weatherby SA-08, which are made in Turkey - same factory that makes a number of similar models for various brand names. Absolutely no issues.
I think it would be awesome, but I would be to chicken to try it on an Alaskan moose hunt. I have a 7600 carbine with peep sight like the Benoits used, I'll stick to using on whitetails. Sure as hell, if I took it into the dark timber after elk, I would have a shot at a 350 bull at 300 yards...
