    I have just traded in my o/u baikal for a brand new Yildiz and by some of the things people are saying about yildiz I'm wondering if I made the right decision. Anybody know anything about them eg reliability, what they're like to shoot etc. thanks

    Why would you trade in your gun for a pile of scrap in the middle of the season?

    traded it in because it started giving trouble and already had to spend €75 to get the ejectors fixed in september. I can only go shooting at the weekends these days and I have a single barrel to use while I'm waiting

    Change your username so:)
    My baikel isn't worth anything but does to me and holds sentimental value to me and it shoots better than half the other guns I've shot and it's bombproof in the field

    Like I said I've one I was like yourself reading reviews listening to opinions but I chanced my arm honestly couldn't fault the gun ...well the fact I miss a few birds but I'm sure that can happen with any gun ;)

    My Father had a new Yildiz side by side, pure dirt .firing pin broke after two weeks, repaired.A few weeks later the other pin broke so the gun went back and he was given another new one(side by side).First day out safety wouldnt come off ,went back to the car and sprayed the **** out of it with oil just to get through the day ,we got movement but it was rough as ****. Went back out and bird got up ...click gun would not fire .We went home and i stripped it down the quality of the finishing on the internal parts was dog rough ,no nice shinny machine finishing just file marks like like a lad chancing his arm in a shed would do.The striker for the pins was nowhere near them so the gun would not fire.
    After seeing how ****e it was he brought it back and got a second hand semi auto fabram that has not let him down now in 3 years.

    Plenty of good second hand guns that will last you a life time going for small money these days
    I would rather send a few hundred more on one of them than buy any turkish ****e

    I have my Yildiz O/U for 8-9 years now. Its a basic model, non-ejector.
    Never had any issues. Dropped plenty of pheasants with it.
    Lightweight gun, great for rough shooting.
    Not so good for clays tho, due to being so light.

    I've had 1 for years and never had a problem with it. I've heard the semi autos can be troublesome but my o/u never let me down.


    Tikkahunter,
    I had a fabarm years ago. Now there was a ball of s#*the. You can be unlucky enough to get a bad gun from any manufacturer but you can't tar them all with the same brush. There's a gunshop in the Midlands that can't keep ATA guns in stock. A Turkish brand, part owned by Beretta

That dealer in the Midlands are also selling ridgeline clothing passing off as quality and charging top prices for it, when in fact it is muck and will leave you soaked in heavy rain .You tell enough lies then people be leave them

    What make of gun do you own seeing as how everyone else's are ****e. It's not only that dealer that claim that ridge line are good. You're saying buy cheap and buy twice. I paid €850 for my Yildiz 5 years ago and it's never let me down once. If you don't like a brand fair enough. Don't rUn a man down for buying the brand. Calling it experience is nonsense as is saying good advise is in short supply on this forum. A lot of lads have moved and are chatting on facebook now because of the know it all on here. Was a great place for a novice hunter to get advise. Now its a great place to be run down.

    Well said there Jimy1971 all we can do is pass on what we know but never knock a lad for something simple.
