Title: Picked up a new 20ga. Turkey gun
Post by: Sungrazer on February 19, 2023, 05:06:18 PM
Finally a Yildiz owner - Legacy HP Compact 24" barrels. Have sling and mount kit ordered and Mossy Oak wrap material to use on that silver receiver, but I'm not covering up that purty fiddleback wood! Can't wait to pattern, hope to be good enough to just use the fiber optic bead with lead Turkey long, and lead Pheasant or quality trap load short barrel.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230219/c82edff38dc7d7c04d286a482af19957.jpg)

You will have one of the best looking guns in the woods this spring. That is some mighty fine wood on that double.

Great looking gun. Looking me a 20ga over under now. Have a nice CZ 12ga and thinking about a CZ ultra light 20.

Could order 200 of those shotguns and not get another with anything close to that kind of wood. That's a lottery hit for sure.

When I called to check when they might be expecting a Yildiz shipment the gentleman working the gun counter said "We have 1 on display and 2 new in box". This is the first box he opened and we both said " WOW, bet the other one won't be this good", and sure enough the other box had plain Jane wood.
He said it was not surprising that the Academy website showed 0 in stock for that model-glad I called ahead. Can't wait to hit it with some steel wool and Tru-Oil, should really make it pop.

I hear ya, BUT that's exactly what I bought it for.
Unfortunately it will have to wait until next season. Upon patterning the gun the bottom barrels core pattern was 9" low and right, just boxed it up and sent it to Briley for warranty. Briley told me 6-8 weeks, IF they have a barrel.
