After shooting clays today with a 20 ga Yildiz, I decided to drop by Academy to buy some shells. The Round Rock Academy had three 12 ga and three 20ga Yildiz's in stock. I really like my 20 ga. I am getting better and better with it so... I took the plunge and bought a companion 12 ga. I had the sales clerk open all three so I could pick the one with the best wood. Two out of three had good wood, nice grain and good color match. It pretty much was a toss up between the two good ones. I specifically looked at the safety/barrel selector switch area too for galling. No galling was present on any of the three. I then asked the clerk if they had any Briley tubes for the Yildiz. He did not know if they had any specifiically for the Yildiz, but told me all chokes were hung up in one particular aisle. Low and behold, they had Briley tubes for 20 and 12 ga. (My friend had called a couple weeks earlier and told there were none in the store.) The package was generically printed. I had to look at the tubes themselves to see they were for the Yildiz shotguns... I love the way they handle, swing and track. The wood is still pretty "dry" looking, but nothing a little linseed oil won't fix.... Be well.
