Has anyone had experience shooting a yildiz O/U? From the few people I've talked to, they say that it is pretty good first O/U. I don't want anything real flashy for my first O/U, especially since I'm not big into skeet shooting, just a good reliable gun for the little upland/woodcock hunting I do. Would love to get big into it eventually.

For being a broke college kid, this would be something realistic to save up for in the near future.

They are the perfect gun for a broke college kid only looking to put a couple hundred rounds of upland loads through it per year.

They are absolute shite for anybody that's "big into" shooting (thousands upon thousands of rounds per year).

That's exactly what I'm looking for. Something that I wouldn't cry about if something happened to it. The Browning Citori will come once I graduate and become an OB baller.

Stoeger Condor would be a better choice IMO. The Yildiz I had was notorious for firing both barrels at once.

I traded for a Huglu, Turkish made 20ga O/U about 2 yrs ago. Gave equivalent to about $700 for it and have been happy with it. It doesn't have ejectors like your higher end Brownings or Beretta's will have, but it's fun to shoot.

Get the CZ (made by Huglu in Turkey). For around $700 new. You might find it a little cheaper on GunBroker etc. MUCH higher quality than yildiz. Not high end but for a few bucks more you'll get a gun that wont let you down. If you choose the "Mallard" model it comes as a O/U with double triggers (like a side x side) and you can get one new for $500. Still a better gun than yildiz.

I have one in 20gauge and it works fine. Great for doves, teal, etc... And I don't worry about something happening to it.

Merkel, Ceaser Guerini, or Rizzini would be an awesome choice if not for his budget oriented mind.

I have one in 20 gauge. It has seen around 3 cases so far in about 4 months, zero issues.

thats what I've got. Like so many other guns I own, I've never even fired it.

CZ Upland Ultra-light. Under $600 in most places and is as reliable as you'll find.
