Scully Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 Awful! Just awful! Obviously meant for the American market; they have a penchant for tasteless bling and overstatement! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 Would that monstrosity be manufactured by Browning or has someone bought it and decided to spoil it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markm Posted March 7, 2023 Report Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) I had a GTI (but without the gold in the fore end) but it had the gold inlay. It’s the only gun I have ever regretted selling. I’ve had 325’s, 425’s and a range of different Miroku. Even though they are all similar, none have ever shot as sweet.

Gordon R Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 It looks to me that someone has done the gold metal work, not Browning. Owned a GTi many years ago - excellent handling gun. Way better than any B325, XT, XS, B525, A1 that I owned. Similar handling to my B125 F1. Each to his / her own, but too much bling for me.

The GTi is indeed a very nice gun; I almost bought one many moons ago but opted for an older Winchester 101 instead. Nothing wrong with the gun at all. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 Googled that model, which doesn't appear to exist. The look of the gun is an individual thing - not my cup of tea, but it looks a lot of gun for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gun is undoubtedly worth it; it’s only the decoration that’s in question! 🙂 But saying that, if you like it then what does it matter what anyone else thinks? It’s all subjective.

Thanks. Call it what you like .Its still just a Miroku with a Browning Badge .Dont think a lot is original ,but you never know . Both Miroku and Browning , like so many others produced new and fancy , " limited edition" ranges to part money from those who think they are getting something special . Cynical I may be but I've been around for a long time . Edited March 9, 2023 by Gunman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper682 Posted March 9, 2023 Report Share Posted March 9, 2023 I remember a while ago in a shooting magazine. There was an article about when Tim Greenwood (?) did some work on gti. Very similar to this. Jasper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
