Yildiz shotguns

[Scully]

A mate is looking for a cheapish 20 bore OU for his slightly built 13 year old son. 
I’ve found a couple of non ejectors but wondered if anyone had experience of the make. 
Thankyou.

Sully they are imho the best of the Turks added to the fact you get a 10 year warranty makes them hard to beat.  Some have heavy triggers this normally quick and easy to fix.  They do shoot loose faster than a beretta or browning but if it happens in the 10 years they’ll replace it.  I’ve used them for coaching guns in 410 fir a while, I bought my lad a 28 bore last Christmas.

That sounds positive! Thankyou.

I have a kofs 20b .which comes with ejectors its a 26 inch barrel version so it short and light ideal in a hide .

Its worth remembering to use pretty light loads as it can really kick with heavier ones .I shoot up to 28  grm in mine but its better with 24 / 25 grm loads especially something like a hull cart .

Which are pretty soft firing .

Yildiz and Kofs are good value especially if you can find someone selling a secondhand version and moving up.

Thankyou, will pass this on too. 
Two RFD’s within an hour of us both have Yildiz in stock, soo on that may be a deciding factor.

Thanks. The two fairly local are both SH.

About two years ago maybe a bit longer there where a few Yilditz that came in which had problems.  My friend purchased a 410 the same as mine and had double discharge and belated discharges he sent it back to Entwistles who where then the importers and they sent a new one which had the same problem.  NOW I have one which I have now shot at least three seasons with (avg about 24days) driven and it is still as good as the day I purchased it.  I love it. It felt right straight off the shelf.  I did purchase the 28 inch barrel model which was purchased from me by a member on here and I then purchased the 30 Inch model purely because I like long barrels.   I handled the top of the range model at the Shooting Show and it is a superb little gun but I could not see how that one would perform any better than mine. Just good to look at.  I was tempted.

For the price they take some beating.

Do not touch Huglu I have one of those as well and they are rubbish...... and that is from my gunsmith.

My local clay ground use them "the 410" for training youngsters. Nuf said.

I've got a Yildiz .410 S/S NE and it's excellent. Top quality little gun!

[paulinlincs]

410 ou never had any issues at all in the 5 years I have owned it. Also have a Koffs 28g. Same wonderful gun. 

[Scully]

Thanks all. Sounds just the ticket to me. Will tell mate tomorrow.....I can feel a gunshop trip coming on.

The non ejector is ideal, no carts getting fired out when opening for a youngster. Also cheaper to buy.

I have two, one .410 and a 20b, one for Mrs Taileron and the .410 for my daughter, both have had about 1k carts through so far and no issues. Both the guns are non ejector as I found (particularly the .410) the ejectors are very powerful and bang the empty cases about 2 meters over the shoulder. Both are junior stock models and fit a smaller frame very well. My wife chose the Yildiz after handing a browning 525 micro, beretta Vitoria, the other 525 ladies gun and a Kofs 20b. Nicely scaled down actions, nice wood and seem well put together. Not sure about the 10 year warranty, I was told 3 by my RFD. The only downside so far are the triggers, which are horrible on both but for £395 each brand new I can’t really complain.

Hello, I looked at these and Kofs in 12 guage and chose the Yildiz as I prefer auto safety, I do not think there is much between the 2 makes in build quality, I am sure they have a 7 year warranty, trigger might be a tad heavy but with 28g cartridges it shoots well, the importers are very helpful to👍 oh it's only had around 250 cartridges shot through and loosened up well, the ejectors are good , only thing is sometimes need to hold down barrel to load but shows the action is still very new, anyway I do not shoot the volume of cartridges like some on here so I think it will last me out 🤔😁

Many thanks all, much appreciated. 👍

The Kofs and Yildiz when my wife tried them had different cheek heights, she found the Yildiz better along with the trigger pull if that helps.
