kyska Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 (edited) I've only owned one, and I don't intend in changing it unless it fails me. Beretta 686s, I love it, fixed choke, 26 and a bit long barrels. I use for everything, including clay. My shooting buddies are slowly coming around to 20 bore. Ammo is a bit more expensive, IMO you do need to be a bit more accurate..... Edited December 6, 2010 by kyska Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danimal Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 shame your so far away, i have a yildiz 20 bore ejector perfect nick second hand for sale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 I couldn't get on thwith the 20g Silver Pigeon, didn't quite fit right and I had to lean into it too much to stop it shooting high. The Beretta 20g autos are much better in my opinion, low recoil and low weight along with a third cartridge and easy to feed in a hide.

miroku_fan Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 I have a Yildiz 20 bore. It has beautiful exhibition grade wood. The wood to metal fit is well above average and the barrels have been finished to a very high standard. The trigger pulls are a bit heavy but crisp enough. The gun feels well balanced and seems to absorb recoil very effectively. It is great fun to shoot. I also own a Beretta EELL and 686E in 20 bore. While the Yildiz is an excellent gun to shoot the Beretta's are quite simply outstanding. They are very elegant guns and are every bit as effective as their 12 bore big brothers. Once you have shot a 20 bore it is very difficult to go back to the 12 bore and get the same satisfaction from your shooting. Be warned!

welshwarrior Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 I bought my wife a FIAS 20 to learn with cheap enough but still looks the part M/C ect I now use it at least once or twice a week when I get out and about walking. I can even hit things with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
