I still wonder how many rounds people have through their Yildiz guns.
Stoegers actually hold up pretty well, generally. They're unrefined, but they don't seem to have parts that break in a short time. Some other guns (e.g. Mossberg Khans) have had problems with parts breakage long before the 10K mark.
Something to think about, though...
If you're a casual shooter, and you go to the range and shoot 4 boxes every 2 weekends for practice, that's 2600 rounds per year. Add in some hunting, casual shooting with a hand thrower, a Sunday at the range when you just want to keep shooting, and you're over 3000 rounds easily.
10K doesn't sound like much, when you consider that.
Also, if you shoot, say, 100 rounds of skeet or trap, total, in a year, that will cost you upwards of $1000 in tickets and cheap ammo. Maybe $1500.
Spending a few hundred bucks more on a gun you won't have to repair or replace soon, in the grand scheme of things, makes sense. (Think SKB
)
And if you
aren't going to shoot the gun, hell, just don't buy it. Buy something
else with your hard-earned money. I own a few things I don't use, and I'd rather have the money back.
