Hi guys anyone have experience with Yildiz shotguns imported by Academy Sports? In paticular the SPZ ME Special? I have heard good things about them on the internet wanted more info.
Thanks in advance.

I've got a 20g and a 28g they are a nice little gun for the money (the US gets them a lot cheaper than we can here in Australia) I have not had any problems with mine I think Briley in the States takes care of any warranty issues
they are a light gun with an Aluminium receiver my 28 and 20 both weigh 6ib's they point well and shoot were you point them
they are not a B gun or P gun but they don't cost anywhere near as much as one either
if you check out shotgunworld you will find lots of info on these guns

I have an Elegante 4 (.410 S x S). Got it last summer and used it on doves in the first two seasons. Right barrel is dead-on at 25 yds., but left barrel prints 4" right at that distance. I did a trigger job on it and took 4 limits of doves with it. Tried not to think about the left barrel being a touch off, and the doves didn't notice either. Single selective trigger functions flawlessly. Above average wood, chrome lined bores, good dimensions for a tall guy like me. I shoot it well.

Very pleased with it for the money ($449 on sale).

just though I'd add a picture I think the wood quality is pretty good for a $400 gun they cost a fair bit more here but I'm still very happy with mine it was a reasonable way to get into the subgauges the only other options were 2-3 times the price and I couldn't justify that kind of money for wanting to try something different
as it turns out I've fallen for the little 28g what a delightfull liitle gun and incredible effective on clays I hit just as many with it as I do with the 12g
we don't have subgauge events here so I use it on normal clay layouts it amazes me how far away it will hit targets
http://www.yildizshotgun.com/about.html hopefully this link will take you to the Yildiz page its an interesting read they claim the guns are proof tested to 1550 KG/Cm2 and have been tested to 25000 rounds without failure given that high performance steel shot proof is 1370kg that is a confident test from the makers

Thanks for all the info guys!

Who is the US importer for these?

All the ones that I have seen have been sold at Academy Sporting Goods stores, and so marked.
