New Shotguns

[Gunner4640]

I picked these up over the last month. Learning how to shoot skeet doing pretty good to for only 3 times on the range, I started out the first time in single digits and the second time to but my 3rd time out I shot 3 rounds and scored in double digits 3 times in a row 11 , 10 and 12. Also the first 2 rounds were with a 20 ga the 3rd with a new 12 ga. However I have not hit the teens yet

The top one or the lighter colored stock is a TriStar Hunter Ex 20 ga with 28" Barrels, The bottom is a CZ Redhead Deluxe 12 Ga with 28" Barrels. I have 2 sets of chokes for it Briley and CZ -Just thought I would share my new shotguns

20 and 12 Ga

Very nice! Skeet is a lot of fun, isn't it?

Thanks, my wife had a fit for me buying 2 guns so close in time but she got over it.
Yes it is, I hunted Pheasant when I was a kid did real good (1973) I have not shot a shotgun since 1975 until 4 weeks ago and never shot skeet in my life. So my first round was really bad but with the 12 ga now I did much better, I've been reading alot about the sport and having a blast learning but sore shoulders really take the toll on my old body.

I was taken by impact a hero it's a veterans group working with post-9/11 veterans. They brought us to West Houston and had a huge skeet shooting competition it was a great time it was the first time I've ever shot clay like that and now I am hooked.i'm frothing at the mouth to get an over under like yours but I will have to sell at least one or two of my guns that I have now to get that done.there are a few over unders at Academy and I think they're made by CZ and they start about $450

My wife is blasting away with a Browning 725 adjustable comb 32" barrel and she loves it. Stay away from the Yildiz Turkish stuff from Academy. My friend bought one and has to carry a dowel to extract his shells. Wife loves skeet and sporting clays.

Some other brands are manufactured in Turkey as well

Nice! As you've discovered it's get in the blood!

nice guns! I had the CZ Ringneck (SXS) myself shortly after they hit the market. Really nice, well made guns. After three years of trying, I just couldn't hit the doves (or clays) with it and reluctantly traded it a few years ago. I probably would have done better with the Redhead o/u myself.

I concur with Rotor dont buy a Yildiz I have herd many bad things about them. However both of mine are made in Turkey with no problems at all.
The Tristar has extractors and the CZ has ejectors. I did some work on the ejectors after I found a youtube video of a rough surface under the ejectors. A little sandpaper 600 grit and I polished them up. I didn't have a problem with them but the first time I shot it my puller commented how smooth they were, he said he's seen the B guns that didn't work as good as mine.

BTW I served also 1974 -1978 USMC

It sure does get in the blood, I cant tell you how many rounds I have been through with my eyes closed at night

AMSS-usa.com is where I bought my guns the tristar is 50.00 more than a Yildiz 5 year warranty

Tri-star and Yildiz are both reputable in my opinion. I bought the Tri-star Viper in the camo turkey gun set-up with the pistol grip, and it has been a favorite of mine for years now. I also have a Yildiz, which has had been as reliable as an over&under can be, with no problems. My only complaint is that the Yildiz is so light, it makes for an amazing skeet/pheasant gun, but it kicks like a mule. Being that I am cross-eye dominate, It favors me to use a Over/Under or a Semi-automatic, and the pistol grip on the tri-star really helps me support that gun with me weak arm.

All-in-all, both great guns. I have no reason to specifically dislike guns made in turkey, they have been quite good in my book.

I would like to play with that Tri-star Redhead, but I'm mainly for semi-automatics now. It's nice to have that light yildiz for skeet or hunting that involves walking great distances.

The Redhead is a CZ Deluxe, THe Tristar is the Hunter Ex model. I did a month of research on Turkey made guns and talked to both manufactures, believe it or not the gun are made in 3 factories in turkey all 3 are located within a few blocks of each other, Tristar factories are right across the strret from each other.
I could not afford one of the B guns $2000 + for those so I got 2 for less and I am very happy with both. The CZ is heavier than the other and the kick is about the same on both.
