    Never heard of them. If they are like other Turkish guns your f**ked :(

    Bit late asking after you've purchased :(

    i was offered one of these a few years ago in a small gun shop but i spoke to another gun dealer and he said steer clear of it .
    he said like all turkish guns the quality is really poor , but in your case im afraid you made a bad choice.

    Thanks lads for the replys. Had a go with it today on the clays and am very impressed. It is in a league of its own compared to those Yidiz guns! Good affordable simply engineered gun.:)

    Although I would prefer to stick to a name that has been out there, the o/u looks nice.

    How much was the gun?

    Also, a lot of companies farm out their work to the Turks so don't listen to those who are bad mouthing these guns without experience.

    CZ, for example, makes shotguns that come from Turkey.

    If you can shoot it and break clay, drop birds, or whatever, then it is a good gun.

    I got it for €550 new with five multi chokes. Its well priced for a beginner like me.

    FTR, five of my shooting buddies had "Turkish Chocolate" guns and they were all useless so my comments are backed up by experience !

    Was the gun any good. Im after buying the same gun i think have not shot with it yet license should be here any day now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 406 ✭✭The Big Fella


    There not the worst gun to start with but you dont be long wanted to up grade to a Beretta.;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,008 ✭✭✭TriggerPL


    ive used a armed 12 g could not fault it for the money it a bit heavy which is alway a gud thing , yildiz are **** stay well away from them . lots if lads tend to buy new guns at 5 -6 hundred , you would get a gud second hand lanber or bakeal ( spelt wrong) a gun that someone traded in , and in gud condition just shop around


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53 ✭✭Theshooter2012


    exactly what i was gunna do. I got it for €210 with trade in of a broken gun so it was a good deal.

    but you dont be long wanted to up grade to a Beretta.;)


    Don't think Beretta are the be all, I have a semi auto one, i've shot a DT-10 and have hit more with my friends yildiz. so went on the market for a good o/u, shot loads and ended up buy a winchester.

    it all about what suits you, i bought a lanber game gun when i was 20 , that nine years ago . sold it to my uncle 6 years ago , and regret it ever since . i borrowed it for the last weekend of the season as i had not been hitting well with my gun . and it was like it knew its place i missed nothing the whole weekend .
