Rudy,

Not all look so reddish. That was a late afternoon "shot", on the way home from the same dove shoot where I had just taken the other picture. Many are very dark, and others are yellowish. That was a young 'un, too, maybe three feet. I'll ship y'all one sometime, if you'd like.

jOe,

Sow's ear possibly. But, you know, a sow's ear does what it was intended to do for that sow perfectly. So does this Yildiz. Nobody ever claimed it to be a great or beautiful gun, at least not me. What I'd like an answer to is why you feel so compelled to put down other's guns. You go out of your way to belittle guns for sale on this site, point out every flaw on someone's pet double, and generally do whatever you can to make somebody else feel bad about what they've got. It's not revenge. I've never seen anyone belittle anything you pictured on this site. So, why do you think it is your job in life to point out every thing you can possibly see wrong with everybody else's stuff? Are you that insecure? How would you feel if someone went on some turkey call site belittling every call you ever made by pointing out the slight imperfections they may think they see in them? The fact that you have made a "career" out of doing this here has relegated you to a very "special" group of posters. You should be proud of yourself.

Calling the little Yildiz, that was a gift to me from a dear friend, a sow's ear doesn't ruffle my feathers a bit, and it doesn't surprise me. It certainly doesn't make me think any less of my friend because he didn't give me a H & H. And, I don't think any less of myself because I received the gift graciously. I've come to expect your kind of attitude from a few people.
