stuartyboy Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Looking to buy either Lincoln Premier Gold or the Yildiz O/U in 28 bore, but undecided which gun to go for. Mainly for my use as a walked up roughshooting/vermin gun but also for my young nephew to have the occasional shot with. Has anyone personal experience of either and are willing to offer advice ie regarding build quality, finish etc? All comments gratefully appreciated.

figgy Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I bought a Yildiz 28g and its my gun of choice for game shooting and walked up. Great gun nice and light, I'm looking into buying an extra junior model stock in 13" for it so my wife and nephews can shoot it better. The Lincoln is also a nice gun but heavier. Try both.

brian28 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Yildiz made in turkey on a 20 gauge action. lincoln no2 was a true 28G action, presume premier is too. try both . where is your location could let you try a lincoln .

stuartyboy Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Thanks for the replies, much appreciated. Am near Glasgow, ideally would like to see and handle them both but unfortunately nowhere local has either. May need to buy either without seeing them first, hence looking for recommendations. Do any of the Yildiz models have auto safety? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bravo2 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I have the Yildiz in 20g, it is quite nicely made, shoots well, ejects well - it is not an auto safe though. In fairness it is not nearly as nice as my Beretta, but there again it is less than half the price... pay your money and take you choice. Yildiz definitely good value for money, I paid just under £600 for mine brand new. I might get one in 28g eventually as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Not used the Yildiz but I've shot a Lincoln 28 bore and it compared well with my Beretta 28 bore both are on a true 28 bore action that makes them feel better to me, I know some prefer the 20 actions added weight between the hands. I would if i did it again consider buying the Lincoln it was twice the gun of my W&S 28 bore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 Yes the Yildiz 28g is auto safety. As for weight it's alloy action maybe 20g with 28g barrels but its well balanced. Another nice 28g for I bit more money was the Rizzini. Figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
