Ausgunner Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 Hi guys. Wanted to share my experience with yildiz pro. I've always been a Miroku shooter mainly- among a 694 of late, but the pro tempted me since its introduction to makret in 2018. More so around 2020 when the adjustable arrived with better grip shape etc, i have handled them and compared them to gun which they copied and have always been impressed. Financially i needed to cull a gun so i decided to sell the 694 and move into a grade 4 adj 32 inch pro- as much as i want to i cannot justify spending 8000-16000 on a perazzi- one day. The pro really are an excellent piece of kit and i would argue best value guns on new gun market. Only negatives are they saved some money by using a production recoil pad rather than hand fitting individual pads, the wood finish needs some work in oiling, outside of that they are brilliant. And i wouldn't argue it wasn't wise for them to skimp a little on external finish as if the fitted a better pad and spent a week oiling the price would be 500 pound extra, and what they have done is smart- copy a top tier gun and sell at entry good gun price. i have done away with the stock pad and replaced with a kick eez- and the gun now balances a tiny bit towards rear which i like. I also sanded and oiled the wood over the week and it looks amazing. The trigger is breaking under 3.4lbs as expected given the action design. I have no doubt i will lose a reasonable chunk when/if i ever decide to move it on, that being said they are holding value reasonably well and i can't imagine replacing it. Love to hear from other owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 It does indeed look the biz, and don’t take this as ‘knocking’ it in any way as that’s not my intention, seriously, but for those looking to buy a Perazzi for a fraction of Perazzi money, have a good look at the Renato Gamba Daytona. It is 99.99% identical to the MX8, made in Italy by the company which was once ( possibly still do? ) I believe, a finishing house for Perazzi. If you don’t believe me, have a look at the YouTube videos of @Miroku Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 Got to agree with Scully. Nearly bought a Gamba Daytona in 2012 and regretted it since. I chose a Salvinelli Monaco, which I still have - still tight after many thousands of shells - but keep looking for a Gamba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i for one don't see this as any less gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats all good mate. If you get a chance spend some time with one, as expected given the clone they are great. I have owned several miroku, the beretta, and still have some older winchester 101s, all class acts and i'd vote the pro is easily a cat amongst the pigeons of the big names Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 This is a thread that would deserve resuscitation in 15 years time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 I would like to think, I would still be around to read it then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
