I am a new shooter and am waiting (as patiently as possible!) for my SGC to arrive. Yesterday I visited an open day by Avalon Guns. Having spoken to the chief honcho and asked his advice, I have put down a deposit on a second hand Miroku Mk 38 with fixed chokes (1/4 & 3/4), 30 inch barrels, as he advised me this would be a very good gun to get me started & beyond. I noticed that there was also a Browning B525 multi-choke for the same price, but he advised me that the Miroku was the better option. Having since trawled the forums, I am beginning to wonder whether I have had really sound advice, or whether he saw me coming and shifted a gun that had been on his shelf for rather too long. I had a shoot with the Miroku and liked it well enough, but then I have very little experience and could probably be persuaded that a blunderbuss was the weapon of choice ! I expect to be mostly shooting English Sporting clays. Am I being paranoid? I expect I could change my mind and opt for the Browning instead : informed opinion would be much appreciated.
