New Academy Sports just opened in the area. What experience have you had with Yildiz SxS?

They are a decent gun for what they cost, the warranty work on them is done out of Brileys in Houston.

I'm wondering if Academy is about to drop them. I was at the one in Augusta last week buying some 20 ga. shells and noticed that they had all of their screw-in choke tubes for Yildiz guns on sale at $6.95 each. May not mean that at all, but they were all on a clearance rack to themselves.

I was surprised the first time I stripped a Yeldiz shotgun. Both the O/U and SxS internals are CNC and investment casting manufactured, and they are well done. Whilst they have aluminum actions, they are never the less well worth the price paid. These are not ironmonger's junk with stamped steel parts, such as we have seen on other guns from Turkey. The barrels also appear to be brazed at key points with the remainder held together with expoxy. New expoxies are marvelous chemicals, and I believe Teague uses this in their barrel liners. But for 5 or 6 hundred pounds they will do their work very well indeed.

Review the "Shooting Times" website for a review of the Yeldiz. From what I can determine the price in UK is a bit higher( may 30%) than what is being paid in America for them
