Greetings from a new member. I have a Rock Island Armory VR60. This is manufactured by Derya industries and has the very same address as Typhoon. I would guess that Typhoon goes out one door and the VR60 goes out another. I can tell you I was in the same boat, wanted a good reliable, box fed shotgun that was affordable. I don't shoot competitively anymore, too old, but I still love to send rounds down range. I've run over 500 rounds through my VR60, birdshot to buckshot and no issues. It took about 25 rounds to run smoothly with no failures but after that, it runs and is 100%. I added a Grizzly gun works muzzle brake and I can stay on target during rapid fire. I'm actually considering adding a X12 if the mags interchange and from looking at the photo's, they are identical. I've taken the VR60 down and examined all the internal parts and they are robust if that tells you anything. These manufacturers are ISO 9000 rated. I am not crazy about the gray color of the gun but it was the last one available at the time.
