I own this gun and a Perazzi M12 The steel is sourced from the same place and hey,! I shoot the same with the Yilditz no better that the M12 So the old saying; you pay your money you take your choice. Choose the Yildiitz. Its bloody lovely and well made and not for the money!! Its well made ...period!
Another informative review Matt, these higher end Yildiz sure look the business. The one thing i didn't like was the forend, looked a bit skinny with the silly tulip tip (never have grasped what that's all about) but i guess it could be swapped for a semi beavertail? I like how you mention the comb height in actual dimensions and not just say "This is too low/high" like certain other channel reviewers do (you know who you are). Keep these great videos coming mate.
It's definitely not a Perazzi? It's nothing like a Perazzi? So here it is. It looks just like a Perazzi? Perazzi barrels 4140 steel. Yildiz barrels 4140 steel. Both have the Boss action. The Yildiz does not have a detachable trigger group, or leaf spring, but standard coil spring. I have a Perazzi MX8 sc3 Trap. My son has the Yildiz Pro Trap. The barrels and forend fully interchange with each other. Quite frankly, I would say 100% that Yildiz has to be the best range and value guns on the market currently. I shot the Yildiz Pro in 20 bore mostly throughout last years game season and loved it. I had just better say that all I have said about Yildiz is just my opinions, and without payment or favour. Very impressive.
Its an mx12 copy so it is near on identical to an mx12, the only difference between the guns are the perazzi is better finished, better shaped wood, better finished wood and better finish on the steel, is that worth 6x the price- no
@@MR12GAUGE The finish on the steel, and the tolerances are, I have to say, every bit as good as the Perazzi! The furniture is a good grade 4, but has not had the time spent on it. I am going to let someone have a go at the wood, as I am sure you would end up with a good London finish. They are truly great guns! Some of my friends who are also Perazzi owners have had a go with it. They usually hand it back with a stare followed by a head scratch. Don't get me wrong, I love my Perazzi but the Yildiz is every shooters dream for the money.
@@martinhambleton5076 100% agree, i'm not a fan of the cheap turk guns and i am a miroku shooter but know and appreciate quality when i see it, they have done an exceptional job, people get caught up thinking perazzi own some secret ingredient- the boss action has been copied plenty of times but the pro is an excellent off the shelf mx12 double, oh i meant steel finish as in barrel polishing , the actual tolerances are every bit as good, i am yet to hear kf a pro having an issue, that says a hell of a lot
Hi Kirk, yeah sure, just contact gunroom@premierguns.co.uk with your details and we can sort that for you. Tell them you saw it on Strictly Shooting UK 🇬🇧 thanks again. It’s a great gun x
I'm amazed how often reviews of this gun start out with a comment "if you think this is like a Perazzi, it's not". I have a Perazzi MX-8. I look at this Yildiz. OK, starting with the stock - it's nice wood. Perazzi uses wood for the stock too. The Yildiz stocks on average are nicer wood. Let's look at the receiver. Let me tell you, you would NOT be able to distinguish between the Yildiz receiver and mine from more than 5 feet away. OK, what's different? Does Yildiz use crappy steel where Perazzi doesn't? I doubt it. Ahhhh the barrels. Well, Yildiz claims that their barrels will work in a Perazzi. It that's true even with a bit of fitting required, that pretty much says that these actions (BOSS) are identical. As for the barrels themselves, where can Perazzi or Yildiz makes claims for differences? How are the Perazzi barrels THAT MUCH better. They look alike and as long as the Yildiz barrels are well regulated, what the heck is that different? Someone needs to get into the real details and truly differentiate between a $6000 Yildiz and a $16,000 Perazzi. I sure haven't seen it done.
Differences are- silver soldered oven brazed barrels on yildiz vs soft soldered perazzi. Hard chrome lined internal bores vs polished steel. Rear reciever stay on yildiz is flat, perazzi is rounded for some reason (creates wood creep) Yildiz locking block is flat bottom/ conical top, perazzi is flat all round- i would argue the yildiz is a stronger mass. Outside of that same steels, same machines doing the cutting, same tolerances, the yilidz action is better finished easily, the external finish perazzi finds another gear as expected. Identical to an mx12 besides small improvements Other than that
I think it’s all taken out of context as saying it’s direct comparison or the same… The testing was based on quality feel, the sound of closing the gun, tightness of its parts, how it feels on the trigger and how it’s shoots, the accuracy and reduced recoil.. You could compare this to even more expensive guns as it fits all everyone. All Guns are hand made, finished and assembled…. (Require hand deburing of metallic parts, woods are hand sanded with and without machines) It’s brand snobbery, Turkey manufacturers the majority of European vehicles manufacturers, FORD, PSA, GM, FIAT, RENAULT and VAG..! Japan made all of Brownings Guns at one time, so what’s the difference….
The biggest difference is that a perazzi guarantee is for 3 years and the yildiz has a 5 years guarantee. There are more perazzis being fixed for problems than there are in circulation. Most of the walnut comes.from turkey anyway. So please explain to me why a Perazzi is better and cost 10 times more ? Nothing but paying for the brand name , nothing more , nothing less
I've got a pro, and the difference is in external finishing hours- as expected, if yildiz put another 1000 on it and finished it barrel polishing and wood shape/oiling to a higher standard there would be zero difference
I am a resident of the “People’s Republic of Illinois” I am unable to purchase a Yildiz. ( cannot order and ship to an FFL ) I cannot believe that Yildiz wants to restrict their potential market, but they are doing exactly that.
Y'all are absolutely correct. What a shame we Yankees can't have more choices. In Yildiz's defense, too many here are looking for a "cool tactical" shotgun.
Would really like to try a Yildiz pro but not going to happen being in the usa. Can't say I was impressed with the Yildiz hps model at Academy sports. It was a $569 usd gun and it looked and felt like it.
@@StrictlyShootingUK I appreciate that, but honestly don’t want to get involved with exporting a shotgun from a different country thanks! I just wish Yildiz had a better distribution system in the USA.
Talk about contradicting yourself over and over again, it's every bit an off the shelf mx12 direct copy, to say its nothing like a perazzi because it doesn't have custom fitted wood or as deep blacking despite being 100% a mechanical copy to same tolerances out of the same steels cut on the same machines is laughable, it's 90% a perazzi for 1/6th the price argument over
That's a good looking shotgun. I don't think it would look that nice after a couple of hunting seasons, but sure would look good in a glass display case or on the wall.
man bestemmer selv hvordan sit gevær ser ud det er kun et spørgsmål om pleje og vedligehold min Yildiz kræver ikke mere pleje og omsorg end mine Perazzi og de bliver alle brugt rigtig meget året rundt på skydebaner også i regnvejr og skyder flere tusinde skud hvert år så Yildiz pro serien er et rigtig godt våben mvh kkk
As the old saying goes if it looks like a duck and flys like a duck it's usually a duck. The yildiz and perazzi are so similar in metal, wood, and action why would you spend another 10k on the perazzi when the yildiz gives you 95% of what the perazzi offers. Well done yildiz. 👍👍
If you have the money to buy a perazzi nothing wrong with owning one, but as far as mechanical advantage- zero advantage over the pro, epic guns- as expected as its an mx2000s clone
@@MR12GAUGE Absolutely nothing wrong with having a perazzi at all what makes me laugh though is perazzi owners and dealers trying to convince everyone else they are something special compared to other makes. I would put any miroku up against any perazzi and I guarantee the miroku would out shoot the perazzi reliability wise.
Great stuff , thanks for posting. Take care and keep safe 👍👍

Very Nice Shotgun 💯Thanks Matt 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Love mine! Bought yesterday at Premier Guns, great staff, great place to shoot and more importantly to try before you buy!
Couldn’t agree more x
I love your honesty
Another excellent video, a gun that's worth looking at definitely looks the part.
Thank you and not only that but it does perform.
Beautiful I like it ❤

How do the left handed costumers like it? Is the standard gun a natural cast? Could you address these questions please.
Hi Paul,
There’s a slight cast but most will take it to a independent gunsmith for a bit more of cast x
Thank you for responding so quickly. If I were in the UK I would pop on down .
My pleasure and maybe one day you will come over
Can you ship me one to northern Michigan USA that would be great. Let me know when and how much. Thanks again Kirk.

It's my understanding that Academy Sports and Outdoors is the exclusive dealer for Yildiz in the US. You won't find a new one anywhere else.
Y'all are absolutely correct. What a shame we Yankees can't have more choices. In Yildiz's defense, too many here are looking for a "cool tactical" shotgun.
Is grade 5 the highest they provide or can you go above that special order?
I believe there is a grade 6.
But to be fair, they all have lovely lovely wood
@@StrictlyShootingUK how much for 32" Adj stock grade 6?
Just see a review for the Yildiz Pro star, silver engraved action, can you buy that here in the UK?
@@richardtimms8733 are you thinking of buying one?
The post on a mx perazzi are sloped, both backwards and forwards just like the 20 gauge yildiz.

Got grade 4 wood so pretty
One thing you didn’t mention is the fact that you can’t buy these guns in NYS. Yildiz needs a better distribution system in the USA.
We can export if you like? Give me a call

11 ? Me ok
PLEASE Yildiz, provide an option for a game or beavertail forend on the 20 gauges!
Good idea!! I’ll have one of my little words with them for you
Wood is better than a standard Perazzi, forend shape is shit, Perazzi obviously has 8 different styles!!
Yildiz is a perfect perazzi copy at .25 the price
Really ???
That's a good looking shotgun. I don't think it would look that nice after a couple of hunting seasons, but sure would look good in a glass display case or on the wall.
To be fair they are holding up pretty well
@Strictly Shooting UK Good to know. I was wondering if the metal is blued or is it black powder coat.
