New Shotgun: Yildiz SPZ ME
Tuesday, March 20, 2007
I bought a new shotgun back in November, a Yildiz SPZ ME - a 12 gauge over-and-under. Initially, I disregarded it in favour of a Betinsolli and a second hand Beretta, as the Yildiz was a touch under my budget, but of the three, the Yildiz felt far more natural to hold.
The alloy action and 28 inch barrels mean it's lovely and light at 2.8kg, and it comes up perfectly for me. The main criticism in reviews tends to be the rather strange stock dimensions - but it's fine for me, so I've obviously a strange shape of body to match!
Whilst it's a relatively low end gun, and hardly anything special, I'm very pleased with the gun, and Yildiz, the Turkish manufacturer, certainly seem to offer good value for money in my eyes!
Knowing what I'm like, I imagine when funds allow I'll end up going for something more expensive and relegating the Yildiz back to the gun cabinet, but it'll keep me shooting for the time being! Now, where did I leave my clay shooting vest...?!
