About the Yildiz Elegant A3
The Yildiz Elegant A3 is a 12-gauge side-by-side break-action shotgun produced in Burdur, Turkey. Built on a laser-engraved 4140 steel receiver with drilled 4140 steel barrels chambered for 3-inch shells, it uses a single selective trigger, extractors, an 8mm ventilated rib with a front bead sight, a Turkish walnut stock, and a set of interchangeable Mobilchoke tubes. Marketed as an affordable field, clay, and coach-gun-style double, it is exported worldwide through retailers such as Academy Sports in North America and numerous distributors in Australia.
Yildiz has built break-action shotguns in Burdur since 1974 and is one of Turkey's largest sporting-shotgun exporters; the Elegant A3 side-by-side is one of its budget-priced doubles sold across more than 60 countries.
