Daveo26 Posted November 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 These guns look much better in the flesh the engraving looks poor in picture but its really quite nice in real life. Shot 45/50 this morning with 24gram Gamebore XLRs and extended X2 chokes. Im very pleased with the gun feels just like my browning to shoot and i shot it as well as i did my Browning. Happy days.

I was baffled by all the 525s. I think Miroku have got it right, Mk70 sport or MK70 game I saw advertised: 525 Classic Light, Classic Sporter, Elite, Elite Game, Heritage, Hunter Autumn, hunter nordic, one million edition, Premium Gold, Prestiege or the Supersport Prestige *** that all about?

cempa Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 as i mainly shoot clays i have a 525 sporter 30 " barrel grade 1....as you know the grade1-5 is normaly the quality of the wood with the action being the same....so if you are gonna just shoot clays that will be fine...but make sure it fits you first...other wise it dont matter what you get your not gonna hit anything consistantly...go to your local Rfd and see what feels best.........

Daveo26 Posted November 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Iv just got back from Euroguns in Donny, I went to look at a S/H but as new MK70, It sold yesterday I thought id have a feel of a new one to see how it felt in the shoulder. Hands up if you can guess what happened next?? Yep I bought it. It was a good price, about the lowest iv seen because they are having a sale on Mirokus As a bonus the gun (a GRD 1) has an oil finished stock whick looks and feels nicer than laquer and its HP steel proof so i can put any 3" shell i want through it. I cant wait to shoot it tomorrow. as i mainly shoot clays i have a 525 sporter 30 " barrel grade 1....as you know the grade1-5 is normaly the quality of the wood with the action being the same....so if you are gonna just shoot clays that will be fine...but make sure it fits you first...other wise it dont matter what you get your not gonna hit anything consistantly...go to your local Rfd and see what feels best......... ive been using miroku for four years and i use black gold as well dont be a wimp it hurts the pheasant much more its a great gun buy one Id like you fellas to refer to my post above and see that I actually BOUGHT an MK70 Never mind trying brownings I shot like a hero with my new mk70 today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jega Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Exactly one year ago i took my 16 year old lad to Euroguns to get him his first 12 gauge shotgun.That Saturday morning we arrived at the shop at about 9:30 and we tried every over and under gun in the place for about 2 hours before we narrowed it down to a short list of ,multi-choke and 28" barrels.Guess what he chose ? yep a brand new Miroku 70. It fitted really well straight out of the box and the service we got from the guys in the shop was second to none ,i kid you not when i tell you that on a number of occasions since, i've asked if he would like to upgrade his gun,he replys absolutley no chance what so ever, i cant honestly ever see him parting with it .These guns really are the best value for money out there at the moment we've yet to meet any one who doesnt get on with them .Good Choice mate .
