Foolofatook Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 Anyone shot one of these? My Miroku mk38 has been used for last 20 years for everything,however it's getting a bit heavy now to lug round the woods and fields. Ah, the effects of age...😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRDS Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 Get a 20 bore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foolofatook Posted January 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 Considered a 20 but prefer the 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Boggy Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 I understood that the 16g Browning 525 weighs around the 7 lb. mark, which surely defeats the object of a 16. It is clearly not on a true scaled down 16 action, unlike the Lincoln (F.A.I.R) which are and weigh around 6 1/2 lbs. just a thought.

sabel25 Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) I'd second that of OB Just checked and a 525 game one 30" barrel weighs 7lb 3oz - 7lb 4oz compared to my Jubilee prestige at just under 6 1/2 lb They say that the 525 16g is based on the 20 bore action but i used to have a 525 hunter 12g that weighed around 7lb 3oz Does'nt seem to add up So if your 12g feels heavy now then a Lincoln would be the better choice weight wise and are ideal for long walked up days NB Lincoln are still offering the £50 cashback deal on new guns Edited January 21, 2019 by sabel25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRINITY Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Have you considered a beretta ultralight. Weight of a 20 bore but still having all the benefits of a 12 bore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foolofatook Posted January 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Thanks guys, point taken in regard to Browning weight. The Lincoln sounds a tempting choice.Will definitely investigate further.👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
