Thread: 20/12

yildiz over Akkar, but only, because I have had a play with yildiz 28ga SXS, and shot well with it, no experience with Akkar.
for a cheaper line shotgun, CZ make a couple nice ones, ie redhead, keep an eye out for second hand as well.

I've had a gunsmith say akkar put their money in to external finish as there sure isn't any on the inside!

Both are turkish made tho, it aint the old W&S despite its name from what I've read... I did read on an Amercian forum the W&S were coming up with a problem of both firing pins going off at times, not sure mechanically how that works or how often that happens but it was enough to put me off from buying one (as well as its fit didn't suit me)... The other issue I had with the W&S was that the safety catch was too smooth and provided no grip for the finger to push it forward properly, every time I was pushing it forward my sweaty thumb were slipping... all in all I said "bugger it" Y-banger is the safer and proven option given the feedback from others.

Agree on some of the sxs 20gs the CZ are making, if memory serves me right they had a "Woodcock" model 20g with english stock that looked primo - (I think they are made in the land of Donald Trump? could be wrong).

The CZ shotguns are Turkish made also I don't have a problem with Turkish guns, they are what they are.

The only reason I suggest the W&C is the stock dimensions aren't terrible like the yildiz over unders

Ha. nice. News to me but not surprised given the price point.

I'll compare my Yildiz against yours next time they meet each-other. I think yours, being an earlier production batch, had a lower comb, mine feels just on the money...

It's that gorilla like neck of yours closer to the stock

thanks Giraffe... lol

more to the point of what the thread was about... @jakewire the point is, get a 20g, you won't regret it. the only issue i see is the ammo price for which there is some good deals at Maimai and reloaders.

cheers petros.
there is a 20 Yildiz in my local, think they want 12 or 13 hundred 13 I think may even be 1399 best go have another look I think
thought it would be cheaper though.

few on trade me under a grand

cool I go look.ta.

I have one of those cz woodcock delux in 20g ou its a nice gun sideplated boxlock case coloured with a great piece of walnut have had no problems with it but it is a bit heavy for a 20g ok in the maimai but not so much upland with carring it allday helps my swing i guess ,they are not the cheapest turk gun around at 1700 i think they are getting up there a bit

GSPFshoots a 20g remingtonP/a and the rotund old bugger will down anything that gets in range be it airborne;swans .canadas ,parries mallards pigeons,or onthe grouns =pheasent quail rabbits he holds his own with any of us 12gauge users.Hes of the same opinion tho not a lot of difference in load specs,and hitting power when ones on ones game.

saw this and thought of you. Price is right
