JDog Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 (edited) Ridiculously I sold my Miroku 6000 SP in the spring and although I am getting on reasonably well with the semi auto I do need an under and over. On Gun Watch I can see a number of the 6000 model for sale but I am tempted by the MK70 I have seen in the local gun shop. Does anyone have any experience of these guns.

BerettaSV10 Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Similar to the MK38 both are excellent guns, the comb height is different between the MK38 and MK 70 try both to see which one feels the best to you, there's also the MK60 which has fixed chokes which I believe is the later version of yours.

Westley Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 The MK 70 'Sporter' can be quite a bit heavier than the 'Game/Field' model and the MK38 will be heavier again. The weight will be affected by the barrel length too. I have a friend who bought the Browning 525 Sporter and is now regretting it, he is finding it too heavy. He now has to chop it in for a Field model, when he can find one. Apart from the multi chokes, the MK70 should handle pretty much the same as your 6000, perhaps being a touch 'nose' heavier.

archi Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I have the mk60 high pheasant which is 32" barrels and must say for the money they take some beating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggsy Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Had a miroku 7000 sporter.......why the hell did I sell it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennett Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 I have a mk70 sporter which I use for everything and I love it. Real quality gun compared to the betinsoli I had before. Decent wood which I have refinished and all the mechanicals in the action looked well made and well machined Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old farrier Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Got a pair of the high pheasant nice light guns handle well and pull them down Don't think you'll go far wrong with them If you want to try one and fancy a bit of a drive you're welcome All the best Of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malmick Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Got an MK70 grade 6, 30" barrels with Invector+ chokes and use it for everything apart from ***** wildfowling conditions. The fit suits me but it does tend to be on the heavy side for a full day's carting about on game shoots. I've often done 150+ clay days with it and it's been fine for that but does have a Kick-Eeze butt pad. Only other guns I'm recently tempted by are some sort of sidelock sxs, and/or possibly a B525 lightweight game with shorter barrels. Try one out and if the fit suits you I'm sure you'll love it, lot's of bang for bucks. What's the spec on the one you've seen?

JDog Posted November 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 The one I have seen is a 28'' barrelled multi choke grade 1. I have no problem carrying a heavy gun as my previous gun was a Miroku 6000 sporter. I believe the MK 70 may be lighter which would not suit me as well.

kennett Posted November 29, 2016 Report Share Posted November 29, 2016 Mines the 30" but I wouldn't worry about them being light, definately a good weighty gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
