joecash Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) There is only one thing that matters here gun fit, both are good guns (yes there have been a couple returned) but buy the one you'll shoot best with you'll enjoy it more. +1 try miroku also Browning Citoris look good value at the moment see guntrader If you are after value look at s/h Grade 5s imho steer well clear of xtragrain wood when buying a beretta - you dont know whats underneath the finish Edited February 14, 2015 by joecash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamch Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 The mk60 and 725 are very different guns, if you want steel proof go for the multichoked mk70 or 525 looked at a grade 6 mk70 which handled very differently to the 60. I have no real need for multi chokesand think them a gimmick so may well go for the 60, have to top barrel taken to 1/2 and get a reproof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Personally, I think top end Miroku guns appear to be of nicer quality than top end Brownings. Not better, just nicer somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krugerandsmith Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 If you dont mind me askinghow much were the teagues and reproof? Gun came back bored and Teague choked ...... Built to last a life time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 If you dont mind me askinghow much were the teagues and reproof? It's best to go on the website (just google Teague chokes) and have a gander as price depends on which type and fitting of choke you want. If I recall there are about 3 different types. Mate got his gun back, fitted and reproofed within 10 days. Once you've had one fitted, if at any time you want another of a different restriction, you simply phone them, quoting the serial number of your gun and they send you another. It will fit like a glove. Service is outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 90 Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I've always been a Browning/Miroku fan - last July I bought a Blaser AT2 Supertrap - I had a budget of ~£7k & tried Perazzi, Kreighoff & Blaser - the Blaser won as it felt & the best, I didn't consider Beretta as I've never been a fan for "no reason". Last weekend whist out & about I popped into Rob Halls gun shop as I was looking for a reasonably cheap Trap gun for pigeon shooting & the wood on a Beratta DT10 32" Trap caught my eye - I then made the mistake of shouldering it, it could have been made for me - it's now in my Cabinet :good: & my Blaser is for sale !! My point is - don't focus on any brand - like has been said in posts above - Gun fit is the key. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harnser Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 +1 try miroku also Browning Citoris look good value at the moment see guntrader If you are after value look at s/h Grade 5s imho steer well clear of xtragrain wood when buying a beretta - you dont know whats underneath the finish The extra grain wood on beretta guns has been enhanced by lazer and then finished . This is a technique that is used by many top end gun makers . The wood is solid walnut with extra enhanced grain . Nothing to worry about .

The guns you state are a far better build quality, and a much nicer feel about them. Your right about the DT 10 though, and the DT 11 , both feel very nice!!

Kes Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 I was given a beretta to try when I first started shooting again and since it worked well with me I bought it and have had it since (17 years) Not too keen on Browning as they are relatively thick in the action and a bit 'clunky' for me. Bought a 20g Game gun, 30" barrels and found it too light and too much recoil. Also bought an AYA no 2 s/s, great gun. Then a beretta extrema, also great for me. I could buy another 12 now, but why ? - It would be a Ceasar Guerinin if I did as having tried it - great fit for me and time I tried something different ! I'll buy an expensive 20 when I give up rifle shooting - in about 20 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berettacocker Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Yeah thats fair enough i understand what your saying im just after an o/u for abit of pigeon shooting so i can sell my al 391 urika browning, beretta, and Miroku all quality guns. Go to shop feel a few, and go for what you like best really. Can beat a bit of gunshop retail therapy, so enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 browning, beretta, and Miroku all quality guns. Go to shop feel a few, and go for what you like best really. Can beat a bit of gunshop retail therapy, so enjoy. +1. The gun shop retail therapy gets addictive though. My own addiction is starting to bite. It usually does as the season ends. With Beretta, Browning or Miroku you'll not go far wrong if it fits. For greater flexibility, the more recent models all have 3" HP steel proof too making them fully versatile. Get shopping!

Bungle The Bear Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Miroku - the best value shotguns on the market by a mile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecash Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Miroku - the best value shotguns on the market by a mile +1 same can't be said for the cardboard box it comes in! still, does the job getting it from the place of purchase to home.

Salop Matt Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) I never used to believe it when people said they were a Browning or Berretta person. I do now though as I learnt with a Miroku and then "uppgraded" to a new gun and went Berretta. IMO I never really got on with that Berretta silver pigeon. Almost two years ago now I sold the Berretta and spring last year reinvested in an Over and Under but went for the Browning B525 30" that has the 725 Ivector plus chokes and recoil pad etc! Its like coming home, I am very happy! I wouldnt hesitiate with Miroku either. ATB Matt Edited February 19, 2015 by salop sniper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaymo Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I have long arms and found the Beretta felt too diddy, hence I have three Brownings now which fit me perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop Matt Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Enjoyng my B525 so much I just hope one day in the future I will be able add an exact duplicate of what I have but in 20g ! It would be the first thing I bought with a lottery win also ! ATB Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
