Anyone here own a Yildiz shotgun?

Many of the lower end guns handle like a 2x4, but not all of them. I have not handled that model. Go handle one and swing the gun, then swing a berreta, perhaps a browning, a cz. See how they feel in your hands. Try handling different length barrels if that is an option. Just doing that will help narrow down your choices.

2 of my brothers own them and are very pleased with them. They're comparable in quality with the Stoeger at the same price point but the Yildiz is a little fancier.

Overall the reviews online are very positive and the general consensus is if you're not going to spend $2000+ on an O/U then the Yildiz and Stoeger are your best bet.

a few of the kids that shoot 4H with mack jr #1 have them. they have never broken down on them.
stiff action? yes
wood not a pretty as B guns? yes
fit and finish as nice as other more expensive models? no
work reliably? yes
for a first-time O/U on a budget you will be ok. also, don't have to worry as much about getting it dinged up when hunting with it.
