Yildiz shotguns are junk!!!!

I have some pretty fancy Remingtons. LOL. I have a 190.00 Mossy under my back seat. I just bought a 200.00 H&R pump 12 that was smoking birds yesterday. I don't understand why people spend so much on shotguns.

Is that H&R any good?

I feel the same way about tickets to thrash metal concerts ...


I was trying to figure out what shotgun you had in your dove pics yesterday and now I see it was an H&R... The humpback threw me..

[Burntorange Bowhunter]

It seemed to work rather well. The shooter not so much. LOL.

[Burntorange Bowhunter]

So far so good. No complaints.

I see it from Beretta and Browning folks all the time.... I don't play on the sites with those other fancy guns are popular so I couldn't tell you about them


..

Go to a skeet Shoot and see what people are cradling back to their soft comfy boxes after they get off the line. You will see a bunch of higher end shotties... and for the most part these folks arent braggarts about their shotguns... some are about their shooting ability though and some of them rightfully so

I use to do 3-5 skeet shoots a year when I had spare time and money. Lots of fun and lots of good looking shotties... I had an ugly 870, 1100, or an extrema as I cant hang with spending 4-20k on a shotgun but I did SEE some nice ones

EXACTLY, 2 cases are not enough to justify calling the other hundreds of thousands of shotguns junk.
I can find several instances of glocks exploding in peoples hands, but I post that up and all the glock owners would be up in arms. Heck do a google search on remington 700 trigger defect/failure several links posted up on the internet concerning this issue. You know if I post up a remington 700 junk thread everyone and their dogs would be up in arms about their 2000 dollar pieces of "junk".

Because Remington's are not cheap And wasn't the cause of those poor gun smithing skills and trigger poundage?

[CADDOKILLER]

Had the exact same thing happen with a browning citori after the 23rd shot. Sucks but sometime bad things happen. Glad your buddy is ok.

Some yes, but a majority, no. Defective trigger assy is all.

Been to plenty of skeet and sporting clays shoots. I was referring to online forums where folks talk smack... There is plenty of Beretta, Browning and Benelli "my brand is better than yours" smack talk.

My brother in law purchased a new yildiz shotgun from academy because he liked the way my beretta 687 silver pigeon III and his dads winchester 101 shot (he pretty much just wanted to have an over and under but being a senior at TAMU was on a budget). I told him from the get go you get what you pay for. About two weeks into shooting clays he was pretty good at busting them but the top ejector started to stick. No mater what he tried it would only work about half the time. We would give him a hard time about his yildiz junk but he was prideful and persistent. Yesterday while wearing the white wings out all hell about broke loose. He said a bird came over and on his first shot he didn't notice anything but on his second shot the gun literally came apart. His forearm has some powder burn but that's about it, thankfully it didn't shoot his hand off or the powder burn didn't blind him!!! Needless to say he's done with the cheep yildiz junk! He contacted Academy and they said that all firearm sales are final. He will have to have a ffl licensed person send it back. What poor product and now customer service! Watch out for all of you that own these pieces of junk, as we are very thankful that this didn't end up much worse than it did.

Don't mean to bring back an old thread (okay, I kinda do)....But what happened after he contacted the manufacturer?

ALL Yildiz repairs go through Briley's, not the actual turkish manufacturer.

[Landrover]

Uh..........hum............yep!

Reason enough not to buy one.
