Wasabi Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 I'm interested to know how many shots you've put through your trusty guns. My 1994 Miroku 6000 has had about 120,000 through it. It's been tightened once and the teague choke is feeling a bit "loose" on the bottom barrel. What's the general thoughts on realistic shot count for a machine made O/U?

JDog Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 I've put 50,000 through my Miroku 6000 over the years and it will have fired at least as many before I bought it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bornfree Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 130,000 through my Beretta 682 gold e. No tightening needed and no repairs needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougall Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Bisley Shooting ground have Mirokus/Berettas which 10-15 agos they reckon had had well over a million cartridges through...........basically you are likely to wear out before your gun!

TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Last Century I used 4 Beretta 682s for competitive clay shooting, the most used pair of them had the shoulders changed by GMK as they were wearing out a bit. I know have a sporterised 1997 Beretta Trap Gun and can't see that wearing out any time soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingman Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Do you guys really keep track on how many you shoot? I wouldn't have a clue how many shots my guns have fired (and don't care to be honest) all I know is that they go bang when they need to! I do get my "good" guns serviced by a local smith every couple of years and keep an eye out for wear and tear but apart from my Beretta 692 none of them have ever let me down..

TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 I know how many I have bought over the years and the majority go through two of my guns. I know how often I shoot clays and get quite a fair estimate of how many have gone through which gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team tractor Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 About 3-4000 max through my lanber in 8 years . 6-8000 through the previous rizzini in 12 years. I don’t really shoot clay much . 3000+ 22lr 1500+ 223 400 , 243 1000+ hmr ive had others but I couldn’t afford to shoot that amount. Mines over 20 + years .

It's quite easy for me as i mainly shoot clays. 200 a week make's around 10,000 a year X the 13 years I've owned the gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshwarrior Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 300,000 through a beretta of mine at a guess. I suspect most shoot school coaching guns see more use in a week than the average gun in a year, are often cleaned less and service when they must they last around 5-10 years.

figgy Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Some of the Berettas they have for doves in Argentina have shot over a million. What they're like o have no idea but still working. I put more through my 682 Gold E than any gun I've owned around 10k As i tend to shoot all my guns and have change them often so some only a couple of hundred others a few thousand.
