I would sooner buy a russian baikal than one of the aluminium actioned yildiz guns. Having owned one before, and knowing plenty of people with them (farmers mainly, who don't baby their guns) , they are very tough and good value for money. Have you ever owned an "aluminium (sp.) actioned yildiz gun" ? The alloy receiver is lightweight ...... that, combined with the man-sized buttstock and the 28" barrels, puts the weight where it should be on a little gun like the Elegante 4 ..... on each end, and not in the middle. This gives it much better than expected handling characteristics. Rocketman spun mine and said it was almost identical to a 12 bore English game gun. SRH No, thankfully i don't have to as i have an english and an irish 12 bore game gun. I don't doubt the yildiz are good, but my one and only experience with them was bad. First impressions last. I don't HAVE to either, bonny, but choose to because they're fun. I, too, have the "English Game Gun", but it sits in the safe while the Yildiz gets used for walking the Lab to the pond almost daily, and for doves and quail in season. An Elegant 4 Yildiz is just lots of fun!! All my best, SRH
May God bless America and those who defend her.

I have owned a few Yildiz, and know other owners of them, solid guns guns for the price.
Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear.

Pretty wood but am I the only one questioning grain layout through the wrists in some of those photos... Noticed that too, and thought "Good thing they have a through-bolt."

Beautiful wood, beautiful engraving, but somebody needs to convince makers and importers that they should quit knocking ugly marks in the barrels.

I've been considering an order for a Dickinson 28 gauge, 30", case colors, manual safety and exhibition wood. It's priced quite reasonably and wait time is 6-8 months.

When Smith & Wesson were importing these, I fitting one to me and shot quail with it. I was please with the gun then.
So I just order some of new Dickinson and they are very nice guns for the money. I just go them in and have sold some already. I read some very nice reports and have seen nice things about them on the chat boards.
Yesterday I have inquired about some of the higher grades with more engraving.

Just looked at the Planation 28 ga. 30" late last night, outstanding gun with fantastic wood. I think I might order one custom for myself
