binman Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 I'm thinking of buying the miroku TR-1 that's for sale on here, never had a trap or a hi rib gun before but for that price it might be worth a dabble. I mostly shoot sporting. With a bit of DTL. What are they like. How much higher will it shoot compared to a sporter. Looking at picture of them there not that high really. Will it be ok for sporting too. Thanks, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamster Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 If you mostly shoot Sporting then buy a regular low rib, they don't necessarily shoot any higher than a low rib. There are thousands of low rib Trap guns around too and some of them shoot higher than a high rib Trap gun because they were designed to do that from the ground up. You won't know the POI characteristics of a gun till you shoot it but as I said there is no positive aspect to them relative to the ESP discipline.

welshwarrior Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 As above the gun won't nessercarly shoot high for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binman Posted February 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 I'm not to bothered about it shooting high. I just wondered how high it migh shoot compared to a sporter. And if it would be suitable for sporting. Just thought I'd give it ago. And if it's not suited to me I could always sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) I have a FIAS Trap gun with a high rib that I have had the chokes opened to Skeet/Quarter for sporting clays - shoots just like any other Sporter just slightly more of a "head up" position - looks cool though which is its main advantage. Just noticed that the gun is a multi.....get it bought!! Edited February 29, 2016 by bruno22rf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binman Posted February 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 One if my thoughts that they look quite good and a little different. Bloke at shoot on Saturday had a hi rib gun but that poked stupid. Must of been a good 3" high though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les53 Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I've used several high and semi high rib trap guns, as well as flat ribs, but don't be fooled by the height of the rib and the stock! The high rib and higher comb are mainly used so as to promote a more head up gun mount, thus allowing a more relaxed head position and better peripheral vision. These high ribs and stocks do not have to shoot any higher than any other setup, a 35mm drop is going to be the same no matter whether it's a low rib or a high rib. If you factor in adjustable POI on barrels, as well as adjustable rib and comb, well you can make it shoot as high or as flat as you like! But such things are best set up and left well alone!
