Cz all day. Id also look for a used miroku made charles daly or used skb over those. The yildiz isn't bad either have handled and shot them several times.
Fyi weatherby makes no shotguns all outsourced. They have used miroku like browning, and now are turkish imports.

I voted for the CZ. I just bought a CZ Bobwhite and I'm really happy with it.

Beretta A300 can be had in that price range. As well as a Remington 870 Wingmaster, Browning BPS, Remington V3, Franchi Affinity...
A lot of good guns at the upper end of that price range. Guns that I would rather have over any Yildiz or Stoeger.

For the quality, fit, balance, reliability,price, you cannot beat the yildez. Never had issues with mine, shot everything with it.
I'll take a Black Female every time.

Semi auto A71 by YILDIZ is a pretty good bang for the buck. My model came without the plug, so I had an edge on pheasants and chukars on released-bird preserve hunts. For plug-needed hunts, I easily slipped in a generic (Remington I think) plug.

Fyi weatherby makes no shotguns all outsourced. They have used miroku like browning, and now are turkish imports. You are correct on Weatherby, but also the only company mentioned in the poll that actually makes guns is Yildez. The Stoeger and CZ are made in Turkey also by a contract company. The CZ is the best gun on the poll because I think they do a better job with fit and finish and the regulate their barrels better. I will add that I 100% believe that the Weatherby SA08 semi autos are the best value priced gun you can buy. They definitely have the best fit and finish and I have never had one that didn't work flawlessly.

Whichever one fits you the best.

Never owned a Yildiz or Stoeger shotty, or a CZ shotty for that matter. I have shot them though, and have a few CZ rifles and handguns. I think, just me, the fit and finish of the CZ is more than worth the price of entry.
edited to add: If I wasn't so hung up on Belgium A5's, I'd probably be hung up on CZ's.

X2, I'd give the A300 a serious look.

Handled a Stoeger Condor... Fit and finish are kinda ok for the pricepoint. It is a HEAVY O/U !!! Yildiz looked and felt better balanced.

The Yildiz is a nice O/U for the price. I have one in 28 that works fine for dove/quail. P_102

The Yildiz is a nice O/U for the price. I have one in 28 that works fine for dove/quail. P_102 I worked at Academy many moons ago, and folks tried to bring the Yildiz back to us quite often. We would have to direct them to send them in for repair. The firing pins seemed to be the Achilles heel for the Yildiz line, some breaking after only a couple of hundred rounds. I don't know if they have fixed that issue, but that is why I simply can not recommend them.

Phil Bourjaly had great things to say about the CZ over/under.
If you have ever handled or shot a higher end o/u, the Stoegers and Yildizs feel like clubs IMO. I have not handled the CZs.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.
