Cannon Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 As the title states, I am wondering if anyone out there has had any experience with this gun? Link to photo :- http://www.yildizshotgun.com/eleganta5e.html I have been after an aesthetically pleasing 20b SXS for quite a while. The Stoeger Uplander Supreme was the main candidate for quite a while, but unfortunately the price of having to get it imported as well as the reviews stating that the firing pins kept breaking put me off. My local RFD told me he was getting some of these (Yildiz) in shortly as he was impressed himself with the general build quality and looks. There is only one thing worrying me about this gun. The action is made of an alloy which I am a bit sceptical about. What are the disadvantages of this? The only advantage I'm aware of is that it's lighter. I like the fact that it is a SXS and it has a single trigger. I also like the pistol type grip on it. I could not use a straight stock due to wrist injuries, so this is one of the major factors in influencing my decision. Any information would be greatly appreciated guys.

Cheers Just out of interest, what is the spec on the Yildiz? and what is the price? Alloy is used on many quality guns and keeps the weight down.... Beretta ultralight is a case in point I guess it is all about how it takes the wear. Some of the US threads (just google the gun model) are interesting.

Goldfish Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) I have the A4 .410 version, its under 5lb and alloy actioned. The strikers, hinges etc are in steel inserts so dont wear and the alloy action is light and gun balance is great. The Yildiz action is tiny on the .410 The only point I would make it to test the triggers to confirm weight of pull as some guns can be a bit heavy initaly.
