I just got mine I was searching for just under a year and found this to be perfect. I'm in Australia and it's called an elegant here that has extractors. It's been awesome on the quail
I picked up the ejector version second hand for £800. It makes for a fantastic clay bashing side by side (that is proofed for superior steel). The ATA SP has not left the cabinet at all since I got my wildfowler. The weight is a huge bonus as there is almost no recoil (I'm using 21g Comp X). Highly recommended
How has it held up? I trust David in his reviews, but what product is sent to the UK might not be the same product sent to the U.S., considering our ridiculous import laws.
I've got one, just got to get used to the different sight picture. Took to it well coming from O/U's and Semi. Use the 1/4 and 3/4 choke combo and you're good for most clays.
* For a waterfowl gun a blued receiver would a better choice than that silver one. Of course, it doesn't come with double triggers as a true bird gun should. I didn't hear if it had ejectors or plain extractors. Extractors would be best in a duck or goose gun. Nice looking gun for the price.
My wildfowling gun is an AYA no 3 magnum bought new in 1971.Although not steel proofed I have had good results with Eley bismuth which I prefer to steel .The gun weighs 6 pounds 14 ounces and recoil is minimal with 42 gram loads.
Nice furniture! And nice to see SxS back in fashion so to speak. Seen a lot of videos slating SxS but I like them. On that note I will keep my MK38 Trap and B725 with my SxS mind...
@@charlessmith4242 balancing a loaded gun is against all basic gun safety...im not anxious about it at all I wasn't stood next to him... think you nerd to research rationale
I've suddenly got a hankering for a modern SxS, just for mucking about with clays - this has tweaked my interest. Currently on offer for £784.... I'm used to a really light OU - 6.5 lb.
David, we have these here in the U.S. They are marketed as the Yildiz Elegant A3T. I have 3 questions: What is the weight? Are 3" chambers standard? Safe for steel shot?
What is the weight of it please? Yes it does look like a nice gun as recoil is a big pain with myself and with other sxs it's been off putting, could be tempting one day to try one out.
I'd still recommend the RFM Armi Zeus over the yildiz. Around the same price margin but a far nicer gun! I noted the look of surprise that it wasn't an ejector 🤣
We learn nothing from seeing endless side-on shots of somebody shooting a gun. You are saying pretty much the same about this gun as you say about them all.
Not sure about that... The guns action looks like an alloy "pot metal" monstrosity, like many cheap import guns. Putting a steady diet of "magnums" will quickly end this guns life is it really worth the money. You could get a steal action, one of those "russian" guns and it would have a better life expectancy. Not sold on this at all I personally would probable go for a semi auto three shot for wild fowling, easier to clean after being exposed to salt air, abs plastic stock far more durable than wood and appropriately proofed for the job for a couple of hundred more!

Academy Sports is the U.S. distributor and they sell for $539, I was hesitant but after watching your video I’ll be picking one up.
Same been looking at them for a while
They have a coupon right now for 10 percent off they even!

Other than this, I'm looking at a cz/ huglu G2
I've had mine a while and shot a lot of shells through it, mostly steel and it's brilliant.

As always your sponsor makes the best guns....
don't watch him then
Bullino Bull....
I'm like you mate, I only come here to read the comments, they are beyond funny as is some of the content 😂😂
It’s an awesome shotgun I have one and I love it
Nice, I would like to try that 🤩 One point please David regarding safety! You tried to balance a loaded gun on your hand! 🤦🏼🤪
Big deal….he was doing it safely.
@@richards.7770 not if he dropped it
* What's the point in trying to show the balance of an unloaded shotgun?
@@philwhiting4035 * And if the sky fell, he would be safer inside a building. Better check your anxiety level before you have a health problem.

It would be nice to see the clays you are shooting at
I've suddenly got a hankering for a modern SxS, just for mucking about with clays - this has tweaked my interest. Currently on offer for £784.... I'm used to a really light OU - 6.5 lb.
...I've just ordered one. Just for fun.
Where did you get it at that price?
@@beckjumper5787 McEvoy had it on offer. My local firearms dealer got it for that price from his source.

Out of curiosity, do you happen to know who sells them in the US?
@@calebshipley4448 Academy Sports and Outdoors
Academy Sports in the US sells it online for $540. My local store sold me one for $480.
Thank you David a nice looking gun.
I love this shotgun I have one I absolutely love it
Does this one have an alloy receiver? Just bought one with a steel receiver a few days ago.
What is the weight of it please? Yes it does look like a nice gun as recoil is a big pain with myself and with other sxs it's been off putting, could be tempting one day to try one out.
David, what about the trigger pull? All the Yildiz guns I have shot here in California have really heavy triggers that do not break cleanly. Perry P.
Steel safe???
Can you shoot both barrels at one time?
Can u shoot buck shot in these ?
Actually, quite similar to a live pigeon gun of old.
A lot of gun for the money and it looks pretty sexy too 👍
Any Thomas Wild or midland gun co would do the same
I believe that the AYA magnum was based on a Bland Brent magnum.Don’t think I will change my AYA for this.
Anyone know what choke system these use?info is hard to come by
Not Bad For The Money !💷
Price showing on GT is £999 not £850 as in the video :(
Barrels selectable?
They are
I bought one today
"Let's shoot it and see what happens"....it goes bang surprise surprise! Winchester 23 for me I'm afraid, every time.
I'd still recommend the RFM Armi Zeus over the yildiz. Around the same price margin but a far nicer gun!
I noted the look of surprise that it wasn't an ejector 🤣
How can you mention weight so often and NOT mention what it actually is?
yildiz wild fowler
C'mon David.... we're really not seeing what your shooting at !!
We learn nothing from seeing endless side-on shots of somebody shooting a gun. You are saying pretty much the same about this gun as you say about them all.
Not the best review for any gun by some considerable margin in my humble opinion.
And where can I shoot ducks.. I live in south Yorkshire.. the most boring place to shoot... anything
Next County down I would imagine 🤔😆
@@pclarke70 sorry... I should have included Derbyshire, west Yorkshire. And Lincolnshire
