shotguns

Bought my wife a youth model Yildiz 20, super light and fun to shoot. She busted her first clay a couple of weeks ago with it. Need to put a Simms butt pad on it though, for her.

My Dad bought a Stoeger Condor to take on a trip to Argentina and the ejectors broke after a few shots. It could have been a rare lemon but Dad was not impressed.

Same thing with mine. And the action won't break far enough to pull out the bottom shell. I have to break in with more force to engage it enough

just won a 20ga mossberg o/u silver reserve and it really really has surprised me. i like it

I owned the 12gauge when we used to guide waterfowl and upland game hunts...

2 times the firing pin snapped in half on me and left me with a single shot shottie...

The first time back from mossberg was 8 months... The second time I found a smith had him install it and sold it quickly.

Bought the extrema 2 afterwards and haven't looked back.

If you don't shoot it a lot you should be ok... At the time I was going through cases of shells per month and it's just not made for that kind of abuse.

yildiz

I have the Yildiz OU, 12ga. Love it ! light weight and fast on target.

Standard procedure:
1) install a Limbsaver gel recoil pad on the stock
2) install a high viz front sight
3) go out and break a lot of clay pidgeons

x2, have the same one I bought from academy 5 years ago....great gun for price and is well built for price, mine still isn't broken in yet and I think I bought new for 399, I think there a little more now....high brass rio shells shoot well out of..

whoops I guess I meant x 3, yildiz looks like the winner....

I have two Yildiz 20ga's. Here's what I did to mine. As mentioned before, put a Limbsaver recoil pad on it, they sell them for this specific gun at Academy. I dropped mine in a pot of boiling hot water for about 5 minutes before I screwed it on so that it sucked up really tight. It looks really good and the fit is perfect. I also bought a hi-viz front sight from Academy which is pretty cool. Before I installed the recoil pad, I put some lead weights in the butt stock. I just dropped them in the hole that's in the butt stock and shoved them all the way foreward toward the receiver. I filled the rest of the void with a dowel rod cut to fit so that the weights wouldn't rattle around. This really helped with the feel of the gun and with recoil since they are really light shotguns. I really like mine, I haven't had any problems with them at all and they shoot very nice.

I had a Stoeger Condor and didn't like it so I replaced it with a CZ. I recommend looking into the Cz's too.
