Wyatt Twerp Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Firstly, Happy new year to you all. Im considering changing my gun that is used only for clays, the guns that are on the table are the Miroku MK70 or the Citori White lightning. any comments to help with the choice or alternatives would be very helpfull.

COACH Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Why those particular two guns ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salopian Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 If it was only those two to choose from I would go for the MK70. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayman Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 If there's a choice, its always down to the gun that fits you the best and you feel most comfortable with. A Baikal that fits will hit more than a Perazzi that doesn't. If you don't know yet how to establish good fit, get to a coach and ask for a lesson that incorporates ensuring you know how to set yourself up right. So many come to me asking for gun fit, but the gun actually fits fine, its their stance and mount that are wrong, not the gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wharf Rat Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 With respect, why are changing your gun? If you are 'upgrading' to something prettier, it won't make you shoot any better. Getting a smith to fit your existing gun to you, or getting some coaching is often money better spent. If you do buy a new gun, don't restrict yourself to too tight a choice and buy from a proper gunsmith who can advise you on what fits you best.

Agree with above, I upgraded mine as my stance improved and the origional guns did not fit as well as what I upgraded to. I also bought a couple of guns to use for different purposes . Went to a gun shop the other day to see about trading in one of mine for a synthetic stock of the same manufacture. Walked out of the shop with the same gun on the advice of the shop, that it is not worth changing the gun just make sure I look after the gun I already have. If your present gun does not fit, look at the cost of fiitting it, I went down this route but in the end changed the gun that was a better fit off the shelf. There again many of us have probally changed their guns just because they wanted to. You don't mention what gun you have at the moment and again it could be that you may want to change it for a gun that has a better reliability reputation in the longer term.
