stuart21 Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 Evening all! I’m looking to buy a secondhand Yildiz Wildfowler, but can’t seem to find one. Anyone got one for sale, or can point me in the right direction? Thanks Stuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttfjlc Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) Several on Guntrader if you consider the over and under as well Edited September 3, 2019 by Ttfjlc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart21 Posted September 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 Thanks, but, I’m looking for an SxS, and hopefully a bit cheaper than those on guntrader. Just looking for a SxS capable of shooting magnum loads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttfjlc Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 I'll be interested to see what replies you get as I sold my semi auto earlier this year and will look next year for a sxs for fowling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edenman Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 I have handled a Yildiz SxS 3 1/2"and i found it awfully light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m greeny Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 I had one and yes it was a nice gun I much preferred my aya no3 and put 36gram steel loads through it no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratty1 Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 There's a zabala 3 1/2 chambered sxs up for sale on stalking directory. Multi choke, single trigger, I'm half tempted to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 (edited) I have used mine for a few seasons now.Yes it is lighter than a zabala.longer barrels make it swing lovely.Each to their own.Oh and btw--it kills geese just fine and also i find 3" rounds pattern better Would i sell it cheap? Absolutely no chance .bloody fine gun . Edited September 4, 2019 by bishop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muncher Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Very light gun and low rib, not for me but some love em. I would buy the Zabala. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart21 Posted September 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Thanks chaps. I’ll take a look at the Zabala and AYA3 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 remember that despite the AYA being an outstanding gun they are not multichoked nor are they steel proofed to my knowledge thus if you were ever to fall foul and have some mishap your shooting insurance would be void.

stuart21 Posted September 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Some of them are 3” magnums, so, that should be okay, shouldn’t it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishop Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 The AYA is an old but very lovely and solid gun capable of handling steel in most peoples opinion,but not made for high speed steel loads.The choice to use steel is up to the individial.Certainly never put steel shot bigger than #1 or BB steel thru it ,regardless,even if its 1/2 choked .Some daft **** put BBB steel thru s/s older guns as they feel 1/2 choke will make that just fine ,and bulge the barrels rendering the gun useless.3" magnum terminology back in the days of lead is slightly different that modern 3" magnum relating to fast steel pressures .As i said the guns are solid but at the end of the day--- the risk,however small is yours to shoulder(pardon the pun).If ever in any doubt ask a qualified gunsmith,never rely on any forum for such serious advice.I do know the MODERN zabalas are steel proofed--i did consider one of them for myself.some going very cheap.

bishop Posted October 6, 2019 Report Share Posted October 6, 2019 You mean it was reproofed at the proof house for steel AFTER being Teague choked i assume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree the aya especially the no3 magnum outstanding guns for waterfowl your correct there not multichoked and not proofed for high performance steel shot but mine opened chokes to 1/2 1/4 I’ve put numerous 2/34 inch steel cartridges through it and the odd 3 inch gamebore magnum as well with no ill effects These guns for the price would do a Fowler’ for 90 percent of what There going to hunt 👍👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My old Kestrel 3" has had alsorts through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
