You were lucky not to fond a Stoeger Condor. My split the stack almost immediately. 10 years ago I would not have purchased a Tirkish O/U, but U.S. demands on quality and longevity have paid off, with a few Turkish companies rising to the occasion. Yildiv is definitely on top with a great line of affordable O/U, including the Pro Spirt. Definitely go for the steel receiver models where available, but a 5 year warranty on a $500 shotgun, you can't lose
I hope it turns out to be like a caddy.....there was not much to choose from...my luck, if I wanted a Yildiz....all they would have is Stoger. I am happy with the gun so far but it seems like the trigger select switch is delicate...not a gun I would loan out to one of my heavy handed brothers
i jst came back from sporting clay course with this gun in 12 gauge i shot about 125 shells through it i was surprised how light it recoiled i was shooting 1350 fps shells was expecting it to be punchy but the recoil was nice and straight back into the shoulder it has barrel ejectors and barrel selector do not get a stoeger get this gun you wont be disappointed
Yildiz better than condor. Get the legacy hps 20 it’s badass, very much worth the few extra bucks for steel receiver and ejectors vs alloy receiver and extractors in the hp. Also have a 20 gauge semi which I love just a little less than my Browning B2000….
As a competitive shotgun shoots for 20 years I cannot see this product holding up, it is just to cheaply made. Learned long ago you get what you pay for.
The Yildiz has fired about 1200 rounds and hoping to increase that number significantly over the holidays. The action is still very tight, still feels like a new gun. I leave the selector alone, maybe if I do not bother it...it will not bother me. That part of the gun is the only thing I do not like
the heavier the gun, the less it travels under recoil in both distance a speed so adding weight into the gun is directly proportional to a reduction in recoil. In this case, the Yildiz is very lightweight at around 6 pounds so adding 1 more pound did make a significant reduction in the felt recoil
I like everything about it except the barrel select and safety switch seems frail, like it could easily be damaged by a heavy handed operator so for that reason I will never loan it anyone to try but fine for me since I am aware of things like that
Have you had a chance to shoot it yet? I’m in the market for a shotgun and I’ve really been looking at these pretty hard. Just wondering your thoughts on it.
Yes, I have shot a few rounds of sporting clays and very impressed with this gun. I do wish the receiver was steel not aluminum alloy but so far it has held up. The safety select switch feels dainty and the barrel selection must be done in the safe mode. I suspect the mechanism would be damaged if a moderate attempt to switch barrel selection was done in the fire mode. I would prefer to not have a barrel select.
