The Yildiz Pro

[@Blondejam]

Nice wood! And looking like a class gun! Well-done Yildidz!!!

[@durexjim]

i for one haven't heard anyone talking about this gun but yeah a nice looking gun.Gotta say a typical salesman pitch!!

[@martinhambleton5076]

Honestly, try one for yourself. It reminds me of when the first Japanese motorcycles and cars to hit our shores. The rest is history as they say. Yildiz produces a shotgun to suit all wallets. From a starter gun, to real high end hand engraved masterpieces. In years to come, my forecast is, they are going to be a very well known serious contender. I have three of them. My wife has one, and my son has one. My son has won the West Midlands Automatic Ball Trap area championship with his 96/100. He is not sponsored and chose this gun himself, dismissing more well known popular makes.

Absolutely Spot On David, I put 385 21g shells through my Pro Black at a Sim Day, hit what I pointed it at, didn’t miss a beat, no problems or aches the next day either, I agree with you in the barrel sight, I’d like a brass bead, but I’m a Game Shooter, so that’s just what I’m used to. A great gun at an even better price, the way I see it is this, Google what a Skilled Carpenter earns a month in Italy, then what a Skilled Carpenter earns in Turkey, that’s where the value of these guns lies.

[@gaughantony]

Bought a sporter pro black adjustable but got rid of it. Quite a mixed experience. Really excited to get the gun, lovely wood, classic looks and great lock up. However, Palm swell was too big and it was bit heavy for me (the adjust is heavier) but I should have figured that out before buying so that’s my fault. Had problems with the second shot misfiring. Raytrade customer service was shocking esp as the gun was pretty new.

[@TSCTheshootingchannel]

I am sorry for your experience if we can help you at all please let us know give David a call on 01844 238 308. Thanks TSC Team.

[@alanbally1871]

As with all the Yildiz range, they make a great gun with a great price - Can't wait to come up to OGC TSC to try your demo range out and buy one! Great video, very enjoyable.

[@Jolly56Roger]

Looks a nice smart gun .I think it would look stunning with darker higher grade wood like 5 or 6. not bad for the money.

[@Richhatfield9568]

I love the Yildiz shotguns ,I have a sporter 12,I hope to get the pro real soon!..love your channel and thanks so much for your help. I would love to come to the Oxford Gun Club some day !

[@frankwebster8365]

I've been watching a lot of videos on Yildiz. I haven't bought one yet. The new Mossberg also looks impressive. I like a heavier gun. Still bickering. Take Care and Be Safe.

[@harleyquinn6774]

There's nothing, repeat, nothing that will depreciate your shotgun more than the manufacturer bringing out new versions every year or so.

[@alanbally1871]

David, Alex., Please review the 2022 Yildiz Pro 12 g with the adjustable comb soon - I'm waiting very patiently.

[@Jolly56Roger]

Hi David .I agree with you about red beads I had one on my mk38 trap .I have replaced it with a small white one its less noticeable .👍🏻👍🏻

Got one, its fab! All the gun I will ever need. The rest is down to you.

[@sturisa]

David, I just bought a CZ Redhead Premier Target O/U 12 gauge with a raised comb and a 3 inch chamber. Have you reviewed that one? It's made or assembled at CZ-USA in Kansas City, KS but the wood is Turkish Walnut and the parts may be manufactured there. The one you reviewed here looks more like a very nice field gun for upland bird and rabbit hunting.

[@fullchoke01]

Made by huglu its a huglu 103 de rebadged

[@aydingultekin2846]

Cz shotguns are made in Turkey by Huglu. They are good guns. Huglu is the name of the town and also a brand name. Its logo is an eagle with two heads

[@markbarry1977]

Does anyone know if these can be bought left hand cast. Looked on there website and can’t see anything. My Caesar Guerini isn’t steel proof and is fixed choke, but being left handed cast it is beautiful and fits me perfect but i fancy one of these subject to using a demo gun and how it fits.

[@TSCTheshootingchannel]

Hello yes they can be purchased with a left hand cast

[@karolfrania2037]

[@fullchoke01]

Still funny to see people say- oh its not a perazzi, its a carbon copy of an mx12 with dare i say it a few upgrades in design , silver soldered barrels not soft soldered etc, no its not as nice as a perazzi in finish- wood is finished nowhere near as much, blacking isn't as deep in areas, barrel polishing etc, but it's 1/6 price, in terms of design, handling, machining i've compared them many times and its as close as it gets, if that said perazzi on it and was released by them as an off the shelf entry gun for 4000 pound people would rave about it

[@martinhambleton5076]

I have a Perazzi MX8 SC3, My son has a Yildiz Pro Trap. Believe me when I tell you that, Barrels, Forend and Stock fully interchange with each other! Some of my friends have tried his gun and can't believe it. One of them handed it back to him after shooting a round with it while scratching his head, saying, " It shoots like my MX8. I can't believe it". To be perfectly honest I think that they have got to be the best value for money guns, on the market today, bar non. I game shot last season with a Yildiz Pro Black in 20 bore and loved it. My son has taken it on a couple of days this year and wants to use it this Saturday. However, I am also shooting with it on Saturday, so have told him to get his own!

[@fullchoke01]

@@martinhambleton5076 yes i have seen the barrel sets interchange, as they should being the same pattern, they are great guns for the money, they can be a little ropey in finish but nothing major, in Aus the grade 3 is about 2400 aud, only gun that touches it for dollar/performance is miroku mk10 grade 3 which is 2500aud, the miroku is better finished, i still belive Miroku is best money a man can spend

@@martinhambleton5076 oh i fully understand, and perazzi are fantastic guns, finish/handling great pieces and very personal, they are aspirational guns to most, which is why the yildiz is such a good gun for the money, offers you a gun near identical for far less if you can't afford a real one, look up kizilkaya arms - they are producing a dt11 copy, intersting times ahead

[@tempestmkiv]

I would have a lot more respect for Yildiz if they had a top of the line gun of their own design rather than copying the best right down to replicating the look of it.

[@fullchoke01]

You do know perazzi copied the boss action?? kolar, longthorne, maroochi, gamba the list goes on and on of boss actioned guns, disliking them because they reproduced and tweaked an mx12 for 1/6 the price is a stretch

[@tempestmkiv]

@@fullchoke01 I do know that Perazzi copied the Boss action along with others, what I'm basing my opinion on is the Yildiz side by side that I owned a few years ago... it was total crap but with gorgeous wood! At least Perazzi and others didn't try to copy the look of the Boss, just the locking action design. And a Yildiz Pro is about 1/4 the price of a Perazzi around here, not 1/6th.

[@fullchoke01]

@@tempestmkiv in your other comment you said you had worked on others and the internals are crap and for me to take your word the quality isn't there yet admit you haven't been anywhere near a pro- i have and you are wrong, the pro isn't a 400 gun like you looked at, internally it's every bit as good as the gun it copied don't believe me actually go look for yourself, and no i don't own one and won't as i don't like shallow italian action guns, thats just funny you defending perazzi over using the design but its bad that yildiz did it, all that matters is you can now buy an off the shelf mx12 copy for peanuts, everyone should be happy with that as now you can own a gun very much the same as a gun that most would never be able to

[@tempestmkiv]

@@fullchoke01 I think you've misunderstood my comments regarding Yildiz copying the Perazzi design and perhaps that is my fault. Perazzi, Kohler and others did indeed copy the Boss action but that's as far as the copying went, they all came up with their own barrels and stocks, etc whereas Yildiz copied Perazzi right down to the position and style of the logo on the left side of the receiver! This was a deliberate attempt to make the gun look as much like the Perazzi as possible and I think they (Yildiz) figured that would appeal to the people who want to own a Perazzi but don't have the means to and would buy a gun costing a quarter the price and hope no one looks too close at it. As far as workmanship goes, I have no reason to think the Yildiz Pro is any better or worse (if that could be possible) than what they have built in the past but if you think they have hit the ball out of the ball park then that's great! Frankly I don't care if you want to own one or not but based on my experience with Yildiz and Perazzi as a whole I won't be spending my money on one until I see several of them running a few hundred thousand rounds downrange or a few million rounds downrange as many Perazzi's have.

[@fullchoke01]

@@tempestmkiv so basically you dislike it as its an exact copy- but somehow that means its junk and the gun it's an exact copy of lasts forever?

Sorry but this is nowhere near Perazzi quality, it look similar that’s it. It looks exactly the same as the 2021 Yildiz Pro. I very much doubt the trigger pulls are as good as a V spring Perazzi trigger unit, coil springs just can’t compare. I really can’t see GD trading in his P gun for one anytime soon.

[@fullchoke01]

You do know its an exact copy of an mx12- which has coil springs and non detachable trigger group? Its basically a less finished version of a perazzi, lots of comp shooters using them, no its not a perazzi- but its 1/6 the price for 80% plus of one
