Save yourself the headache

Just curious as to why you think the Yildiz Pro ($3,800 +/-) would be a headache.

 

Turkish copy cat gun.

 

My answer is based solely on hearsay. Of people who cried soggy tears.

 

I’m totally unbiased because I don’t own either gun, but I don’t consider the Yildiz to be an upgrade over the Browning. They both feel nice, they’re both (probably) reliable. The Yildiz is a “copy” of a Perazzi, but only in dimensions of the action. There’s nothing wrong with them, I do like them, but they are not a Perazzi. Not even close. If it were me, I’d hang on to the Browning a while and cop a feel on as many other guns you can, then pick.

 

I'm not interested in what peoples opinions are about the quality of the guns. I would like to hear from some actual owners who have transitioned into the guns and did or didn't like them.

 

You’d be interested if you buy one and it craps the bed.

 

how in the world did you come to that conclusion from my statement?

 

You’ve done the research, you want to buy one. I like to cheer on someone buying a new gun.

 

I own one... and Zolis, and a K-gun, and a DT, etc.

For the money, they're absolutely amazing. Yildiz ROYALLY screwed up by not rebranding from their ****ty pot metal Academy guns. They're MX-12 clones (non drop out trigger) with really nice machine work, etc. I bought mine a "backup gun" (that's what I told the wife). Great piece of kit. The only complaint I had was the trigger reach was too long for me, but Pat's cut and welded a setback for me without issue.

I do not know anyone who has transitioned
into the gun , maybe there is a guy who moved from a Mossberg pump to a Yildiz somewhere but there would be no reason to transition to a Yildiz from say a Beretta , or a Browning and certainly not from a Kreighoff of a Perazzi , why would you ?
I know guys who buy them as a back-ups and kids that are shooting on HS teams put thousands of rounds through the TriStars another Turkish made gun . Like another poster stated a Yildiz is not an upgrade from a Browning , infact in my opinion not even close .

I just read you original post again the Yildiz Pro , yes I have shot that gun several times $3800.00 ? That is their cream of the crop model , again however still no where near the quality of a $3,800.00 Browning at that price point . Also resale value on the Yilidz terrible , Browning shoot it for twenty years and sell it for probably more than you paid for it .
If I had an extra $3,800.00 I would not be putting it on a Turkish made shotgun , but not my money and each to his own .

 

Brudford a yildiz pro is a Boss action gun exactly the same as a Perazzi.

If you want it, BUY IT. Get back to us on how you like it!
Anyone who thinks every shotgun made in Turkey is cheap probably also thinks ever Beer in America tastes like Budweiser.

 

go for it if you like how it feels. every shooter is different.

 

I have a Yildiz Pro 12ga along with Citoris and MX guns. For SC, I’m grabbing the Yildiz everytime.

Prob hard for Perazzi owners to read, but it’s a very very similar gun that I don’t have to worry about carrying leaf springs. I do not own a MX2000S, so I can’t compare to that.

Go for the Yildiz. Try and buy one used, resale is still garbage.

 

Shotguns are subjective....what shoots well for one may not for you. What you like for balance I may not like. And then the individual characteristics of one shotgun from the same maker to another. One lemon vs one that never breaks and shoots hundreds of thousands of rounds. There is good and bad feedback on both these makers so let economics, aesthetics and how it feels in the hands should be the base of your decision.

To differentiate between a useful bit of feedback on here you need only look at the posters total number of posts and divide that by the years active on here. These self appointed experts in everything are ones you should probably take their opinions with a grain of salt. You can't keep them from responding but just ignore them as they are not really being helpful.

 

OK, here is my experience, pared down. Started with Browning XS, then 525, then K-80, then XT, then 725 high rib, then 725 low rib, then A400 cole pro, now Yildiz Pro. I got into clay shooting about 18 years ago.

So far I have about 3k rounds through the gun, so not many rounds yet. Quality wise for sure on par with Browning, except the wood needs to be finished better, but the wood quality would be grade 3 or 4 on a Browning.

Trigger is good, better than Browning out of the box, gun is lighter a little over 8 lbs, but for whatever reason fits me great, I did not notice much difference in recoil between this gun and my A400.

The gun is more lively than the K-80 and Browning's, except pretty close to the 725 low rib, but without the kick.

I agree that this gun should have been branded differently given the bad rap of the low budget Yildiz guns. Kind of like Ford Pinto and Mercedes.

 

OP - get what you want. But dropping the word “ Boss Action” really means nothing today. Many ways to successfully lock up a gun. Some are easier to fix when needed. Some people who buy guns feel obliged to praise them and keep out of the fool column. Not really un- biased

 

your statement has truly planted you squarely in the Fool Category. Apparently you know nothing about the action and any gun that has ever been manufactured with it.

 

Time will tell with these guns, but they have been around at least 5 years, come with a 5 year warranty serviced by Briley, and have some pretty reputable dealers, Wooley Shooting, August Crocker, Target shotguns, and a few others.

I remember when CG and Blaser came out and there was some concern about longevity with these guns. I could end up regretting my decision to buy this gun, but so far, I'd recommend them to anyone looking at comparable models like a 725, 694, Fabarm, Zoli or CG.

 

 

only Perazzi, Kolar, Holland &Holland, Fabbri, use a type of Boss lock up system like it's a cheap system that just any manufacture uses or something.

 

 

Couple pics of my gun, please ignore the sliding door needing a new paint job!

 

Target- you ain’t no expert. But you can surely pretend.

 

Actually I am a expert. I have won a Grand trophy and I coach a college team and get paid for it. been shooting ATA since 1991. Life member. been shooting trap since 1982.

 

Then you certainly know enough that there’s no need to ask strangers about handling dynamics of a shotgun is there?

 

xsshooter very good looking gun sir.
