HDAV Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Have a look for a Miroku MK38 Sporter or sporterised trap gun might cost a bit more but more suitable http://www.gunwatch.co.uk/guns/753-Miroku-Miroku-MK38-Teague-Sporter-30-inch-for-sale or go for an adjustable comb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweedledee Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 i would n`t be one bit scared of a winchester 101 action shotty. in my opinion one of the best handling guns ever made. so long as it suits you that`s the main thing. yes they are an older gun and yes mirokus may have more parts available but a good winchester will last a long time if you get a well cared for example.i know i`ll buy another as soon as funds allow.

Scully Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I have had 4 101's,and currently have 2.Great guns! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I have owned a few. Great handling guns, very similar to Miroku MK38s. Spares are not abundant, but are obtainable. If the gun fits you, go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COACH Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 I have 2 x 6500 mk2 Sporters and a Grand European grade 2. Best guns ever made. Nothing out there less than £5000 comes even close when it comes to handling. And very reliable if you find a nice one. Parts are hard to get but Browning parts can be altered to fit. Touch wood, I`v never needed anything in the eight years I`v had mine and they are all over 25 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
