They are hard to beat for the money.
best friend has a 20 and dad has a 12. Only thing I don't like is they only come in 28in barrels

i have heard for the money they are great! i know several people that have bought them. one buddy of mine bought one for his 14yr. old son, now my buddy got hooked on it. he uses it all the time. academy also sells the chokes for it at a real good price.

I've used one and it was a good gun for the money. Seem to be made better than comparably priced Mossbergs, Huglus, etc.

love mine used it for dove duck whatever, ive had people ask me if it was a browning, shoots up to the big shells, the only fault i have found is high brass ejection but i have shot very little of it, and it may get better at that with more running thru it.

great guns. Probably put two cases through mine without a problem. Only knock on it is that its a little light so recoil gets to you if you shoot a bunch in a day. Go through a few of them at the store before you buy and you can get one with real nice wood.

Had the 12ga o/u for about 3 or 4 yrs now and it's one of my favorite guns. Have the extended briley chokes with it. Heck of a combo to beat. Also have the 12ga sxs and like it alot too. I prefer o/u though. I kill doves and ducks with it all the time. Matter of fact I might set the benelli aside in the morning and take it teal hinting for old times sake.
Great guns, you won't regret it.

i know 2 academy stores here in san antonio that have the yildiz clay special in 12 gauge for $488. those look awesome they come with beautiful wood, ported barrels, and extended tubes. they are close out deals because they go for alot more.

I have had mine for 4 years and love it. Beats paying a grand or more for a browning.

looked at getting one in SxS.
gun is really light, even in 20 gauge, and after handling that and the stoeger, the stoeger seems alot more solidly built than the yildiz.
their (stoeger) O/U's are pretty ugly, but check out the stevens line of O/U's, their pretty nice, I almost picked one up but I wanted a side by side
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Step off 25 yards and put up a pattern target. Aim at a central point in the center of the target and shoot both rounds. You will see why they are cheap. Both shots should hit dead center at 25 yards and these guns are all over the board. Barrel regualtion is a big part of the cost of o/u and these are very poorly done. Other than that they do go bang every time you shoot them.

Other than that they do go bang every time you shoot them. never had a problem i drop birds just as easy with one barrel as the other same poa i find myself switching the selector from top to bottom as i get to comfortable with the first shot working gotta keep on my game these are very under rated shottys

Other than that they do go bang every time you shoot them. Anybody that shoots shotguns knows that all guns don't pattern the same...never had a problem folding birds with it either. Actually one of the reasons this gun is so cheap is because the recievers is made out of a hard alluminum instead of metal...also makes it lighter too. I love my benelli but I will put this gun up against it in a shoot any day.

I shoot skeet with one in 20ga. Love it. One of the nice things about the Yildiz is the selectable barrel.
