I have an old AYA number 4 and love it as I was brought up with side by sides. Out of respect I only use 24g cartridges. I celebrate 70 years as a shooter this year and as an 'oldie' always thought a cabinet is not complete without a s x s. Had a nice chat with your mum and dad, David, when I visited a few years ago as I used to shoot the same competitions and sometimes in the same squad. Still wish I could afford a #2
Hi guys, love David and the content. But please please use the over the shoulder shot (camera wise) to track the clay and shooter in one. At the moment the clay is being hit at around the very top left of the frame and isn't really very clean viewing. I say that as a fan but also video professional x
* I always assumed that David wasn't as concerned about his audience observing how well his shooting broke the targets, rather I suspected that he wanted his audience to see how good he thinks he looks shooting at these targets. IMO, it is rather boring watching a shooter practice his trigger pull, or waiting for the gun to malfunction.
I have that Wild Fowler and a Victor Sarasqueta 6E from 1975 which is a stunning gun, love them both in equal but different measures. Get both! The Victor give so much pleasure to shoot, its so beautiful to look at and great to shoot. The Wild Fowler could take a few hundred heavy shells with no issues at all on a clay range. Comes with a good amount of RH cast too standard.
Brilliant shooting as always David, really enjoyed the video. Personally I would go for the Yildiz every time as it's single trigger, great fun for clays without the punishment, certainly alot better than my Baikal side by side!
I have a few nice shotguns and my favorite is a 52 year old 26 inchcolour hardened aya no.2 that cost me 900 quid.its been used alot and looks it which is why it was relitivly cheap,i was going to refinish the stock and get it reblued but i thought no!! Its got character so its staying as it is 😎
Had a yildiz sxs only gun I have had problems with the trigger locking up on the second shot was glad to see the back of it , yes they are a heavy gun . It was a shame if it wasn't for the trigger I would of kept hold of it , traded it in on a Webley &Scott 700 whichi much prefer
Another great film David! My local shooting club occasionally puts on simulated game days. It would be really great to turn up with a an 'English-style' side-by-side. I'm more interested in and an older AYA than a modern side-by-side; I need to try one. Beretta offer a side-by-side I believe? Would you be able to do a film about one of these?
I have just purchased a Fabarm Classis 20 sxs for a lot of clay shooting and I found it a great gun. However if I want a gun for the odd clay session, I would go for a nice English sxs
Would love to get a at aya #2, but on this side of the pond they are rare and expensive used. I have a Yildiz and a Huglu ( CZ bobwhite project upland) and much prefer the Huglu, better fit and finish, balance and a tad less weight.
A few Yildiz shotguns have made their way to Southern California. Their Achilles heel is the heavy trigger. Perhaps others react otherwise, but it throws off my shooting.
Love aya...I would spend 600 extra on aya...rather than yildiz..had onec baikal mp43 ..and weight does effect on long walk ....if u going for long walk for hunting....
I like the comparison and although years ago I had the AYA I think today I would opt for a modern SxS - they seem more versatile- clays and game and more forgiving in terms of recoil if heavier cartridges are needed. I’ve fought against it but before I finally retire from the sport I think I’d like a final fling with a SxS - nostalgia🤷♂️.
The yildiz and akkar 512 are absolute terrible...i had 1 of each...nothing but issues. And hard to get warranty repairs...the 512 gold sells here in canada for 1400$ with taxes...i bought a husqvarna 610 in ex cond for 400$ its 10x the gun...ex craftsmanship.
I'd like to find a thorough how-to-shoot-a side-by-side from A to Z. Until so far I've only found videos that show excellent shooters enjoy their shooting. Where I use (to try) to shoot my s/s the "instructors" only tell me to get a "proper" gun.
I have that same Yildiz and it's a nice gun. I could buy four of them for the cost of an AYA like yours, so I think I will just stick with what I have. I enjoyed your video and you are quite a shot! Thank you for the commentary and demo!
Just purchased a matched pair of VS 12g sxs. Having a little work done to them before I pick them up. My son and I will be comparing them to a matched pair of Aya No 2s that I have in my cabinet. I can't wait as the Gunsmith I bought them from rated them slightly more then the Aya No 2s which I also bought from him. 👍👍

Bit like comparing a tractor to a Jag then.
How about a discussion about short barrelled side by sides like the AYA XXV.
I have noticed there are more SXS guns at clay grounds than there was.
great video! I would buy them both. they are so similar but yet so different. I love the AYA for special game days and the Yildiz for a clay hammer

I prefer hold shotgun more light and always a great story behind the handmade shotgun!
Thank you for your video !

A yildiz.... just for something different😂

I wish you told what chokes you use in the sxs.
Can you get your hands on a CZ side by side?
Yes if you call the oxford gun company on 01844 238 308 they will be able to help you with this. Thanks TSC Team David.

Love aya...I would spend 600 extra on aya...rather than yildiz..had onec baikal mp43 ..and weight does effect on long walk ....if u going for long walk for hunting....
I think the action is steel not alloy on the 12 gauge Wild Fowler, I am sure mine is
To me the alloy would be weak
Hey, can you do a review on the Remington Premier SXS shotgun
Love my la Sorda SxS 12g shotgun,
I like the comparison and although years ago I had the AYA I think today I would opt for a modern SxS - they seem more versatile- clays and game and more forgiving in terms of recoil if heavier cartridges are needed.

AYA for sure :)

Do you prefer single or double trigger for game gun.
Can ask u please what do u like more side by side or over under
What about "victor Sarasqueta" have you used them?
Just purchased a matched pair of VS 12g sxs. Having a little work done to them before I pick them up. My son and I will be comparing them to a matched pair of Aya No 2s that I have in my cabinet. I can't wait as the Gunsmith I bought them from rated them slightly more then the Aya No 2s which I also bought from him. 👍👍
NO ME DAN BOLLLLLLAestamos en sudamerica y no nos interesa el ingles
👍🏻
Here in America, those would both be expensive guns. Ive never paid more than $200 for any of my shotguns.
What in the welfare is going on here?😂
Sigo sin entender nada 😊
Is that yildiz have auto ejector? You are too fast when take out the shell. Couldn't see it
Holy crap, horrific editing😂
