guys,
anyone have the Yildiz SPZ ME 12 gauge O/U from Academy? i am looking at getting one for shooting clays and was just curious if anyone has any insight and/or reviews on them. Thanks in advance.

I have one and I like it. The only issue I've had with mine is some shipping grease/crud that caused my ejectors to stick. I removed the ejectors and cleaned and lubed them and fixed the problem. They're a little on the light side, so if you're sensitive to recoil you might want to get a Limb Saver recoil pad.

thanks grizz

It's a pwnage gun. My cousin has it in 20ga and my other cousin has it in 12ga. Goes bang every time.

I purchased a 410 Yildiz SBS w/screw in chokes..and hand oiled the stock for a few months...some of the bbl black comes off, but
no metal shows...and I've had no problems...Compared to the costs
of my competition guns the $525 for this was about what I paid for a case for a tube set...It seems to be a good little hunting
gun and a value for the buck..DD

Thank you guys for the feedback

Love the gun..only complaint is barrel length..wish they had the 12 in 26 or 24

My uncle had one and he thought there was a problem with the trigger not firing the second shell. I took it to Brileys here in Houston, who is contracted by Academy to do all the warranty servicing, and they took it in without any questions. Totally went through the thing and did a complete function testing.

As I suspected, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the shotgun. My uncle is kind of crazy t times.
I shot about 250 rounds that weekend with it and not a single problem.

Result of the whole experience for me was:
1. They are fairly nice guns and a great value.
2. The warranty program was superb.

So i got the gun last friday, and just had a chance to go run a box of 2 3/4, 8 shot thru it this evening. Gun Shot great. I was cleaning it up and putting it away and noticed some slight swelling on the ends of the barrels near the muzzle. I did not notice it before i shot it if it was swelled or not. Is this just for the screw in chokes that the barrel is slightly swelled, and am i worried about this for no reason? Thanks guys.

love mine!!!! PURTY

Mines the same way just figurerd it was swelled a little for the chokes? but i like it

Being an old competition shooter, I wish the SBS had 30 or 32 in
tubes..short bbls tend to overcontrol and swing over the targets..dd

Love mine! Only complaint is the shipping crease/cosmoline.
