HAMMER189 Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 The wife has had one for the last 3 years no problems with it at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Thanks BB and Hammer, I had heard rumours about trouble with top levers. I did have 1 for about a month but the young lady that I was teaching persuaded me to sell her the gun because she liked it so much. I was just a bit concerned about long term ownership.

welshwarrior Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Good guns and value for money I also like the 28 bore for youngsters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert 888 Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 I bought a brand new side by side one a few years ago and regret selling it ever since. It kicked like a mule with big loads due to the minimal weight of it. Only problem I had was I tended to not relise my finger off the trigger on my first shot so it wouldn't select the second barrel, I soon got used to it. I would have another tomorrow if founds allowed. Keep loads down for youngsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynGT4 Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Bought one for my lad years ago, nice to shoot and been totally reliable. Great gun for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Thanks Guy's, WWarrior, the 28 bore is only a couple of ounces lighter than the 20 but there is a better choice of 20 bore loads and better availability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westley ive never seen a 14 gram 20 bore load if they did the 20 MAY work but those few ounce with 26" barrels and shortened stock 28 bore seems to work for all the kids Ive got them for! I'm only saying what I see most weeks (sold 12 this year in that set up). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm only saying what I see most weeks (sold 12 this year in that set up). Sorry, I did not know I could get 14 gram 28 bore, I have only seen 16 gram and presumed that was the lightest. I was aware that I could get 21 gram in 20 bore because I have used a lot of them. Who does the 14gram please. Thanks W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Express great coaching load then they can work up to a 23 gram game load. But 19 gram 6s are good on decoying pigeons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickP Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 I'm having the same thoughts about a Yildiz SPMz Junior for my 9 year old son to start shooting with I'm thinking 20bore, as the .410 can be a bit disheartening if they keep missing clays due to the lack of shot Not heard much on the 28bore, though i believe its somewhere in between .410 & 20b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storsey Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 I bought one last year for my lad .. He's 12 and shot it very well straight out the box .. I would say that the lever is very tight but it will loosen in time but it's been great for clays and in the hide .... I took it one day crow shooting ... I shot very well with it and with 3/4 and full chokes in it knocked em out the sky at 40 yards It's not as refined as a beretta or browning but for the money I'm very happy with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
