Alycidon Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) Depends what you want it for and if it has been altered in any way. Miroku build excellent guns, the MK38 is a development of the well proven 3800. If unaltered it will be heavy, which is desirable for soaking up the recoil of a lot of cartridges but undesirable in a gun to be carried far. Choke if fixed is likely to be 3/4 + full, if you are a very good shot then 32 gr of 4s or 5s will give you a hell of a long reach. But if you are a more average shot then more open chokes would be better for you. If you are wanting it for shooting trap then you cant really go wrong if it fits you. Fit of the stock is different to Beretta, some prefer one some the other. I have had 3 or 4 Mirokus but prefer the fit of my 687. Generally its the bend of the stock, I found myself missing up the left hand side with most of the Mirokus.

shaun4860 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Friend of mine has the grade 5 It's a very nice gun to shoot, bit more to get a hold of than the Beretta's, You have made a very very nice choice (I have assumed you bought it for trap shooting?)

Gordon R Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Best value for money clay gun on the planet. High quality build, great resale value and made to last. A shooter won a Gold Medal at the last Commonwealth Games with one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilR Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 I use one for the purpose it was intended for, trap shooting. Mine's got 32" barrels and is balanced weight forward which is how I want it. I prefer shooting it to my Perazzi which now rarely sees the light of day.

brett1985 Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 thanks for the replies gents, glad to know it was a good choice. your correct in your assumption that it has been bought for trap... ive only ahot trap a couple of times, the first time being a complete disaster, but i tried again last weekend and really enjoyed it. I bought it as it was a good price (£550) and also because i use my semi auto for most things but figured that it was probably a bit rude to be spitting carts over someone else while theyre trying to concentrate... Its has 32 inch barrels, fixed at full and three quarter. The stock could do with a refurb but the action is nice and tight and the bores are spotless. it seems to fit reasonably well, but im having a proper fitting in july so i may get it adjusted if needed. I'll try and get some pics up tomorrow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun4860 Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 That is a VERY good price If as you say you are going to refurb the stock you will never lose money on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 Good gun and a good price with the stock refurbed properly if the metals all good as you say you'll not loose money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 That looks a tidy gun - the fact that it was so cheap is a bonus. Wood looks okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milo Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Congratulations. Great gun. I use a G5 for most of my pigeon shooting and it is rock solid. Loves RC Sipe. Best of luck with your purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
