TIGHTCHOKE Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 Whilst at the Clay Shoot this morning I was passed a Yildiz Pro 30" Sporter by a young lady being Sponsored by the importers. What a lovely gun, an unabashed Perazzi copy with what looked like copied Browning Multi-Chokes. It handled very well and at the intended price certainly looks a good option for a serious competition gun. I plan to photograph it next time if the weather is more suitable.

button Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 Certainly looks nice, as you say looks like a Perazzis but not sure there will be many takers at the asking price as it is a competitive arena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
button Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 Price seems to have come down, they were £2k+ when launched but just seen a new one advertised at £1600 Did you get a chance to hold it, what was the quality like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was very nice for the original asking price and as you say the price has been dropped it will I am sure find favour with a lot of shooters. My friendly lady has a 32" barrelled version coming soon, I hope to shoot that for a better opinion of where I think they can take a lot of sales from Beretta, Browning, CG and Perazzi.

Gordon R Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 The action looks to be a decent copy of the Perazzi, Gamba and Kemen, with the deep wedges on the sides of the chamber. I have always fancied one with that lock-up system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
button Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 I looked at a s/h Perazzi at the weekend which is very tempting, it really did feel a quality that I have not felt in an o/u before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look forward to getting my hands on one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted May 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2019 Yes shot it at a few clays, very nice for the price. The Lady in question is waiting for a 32" version with an adjustable stock. I look forward to shooting that as I think it will be marvellous and will be very popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
button Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) Just spoke to a shop that has ordered some "high pheasant" variants, 32", full and full, grade 5 wood, expected to be c.£1800 give or take All the reviews of the gun seem very positive that I can find Sound interesting proposition Edited May 28, 2019 by button Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingman Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) Love our little .410 Yildiz hasn’t missed a beat since I’ve had it. Not sure I’d spend that on a new 12 bore one when there are so many good second hand deals about though.
