Owned MK38 & a few 525. Know they felt different, now I know why. Really appreciate these videos, thank you.

[@PremierGunsDoveridge]

Thank you for your comment and I am glad you found the video informative. Kind regards, Matt

[@durexjim]

would defo go for the mk38 all day long thx for another in depth review

[@PremierGunsDoveridge]

Thank you for your comment. Kind regards, Matt

[@dermotwalsh9662]

Another really good review, nice to see miroku giving shooters the chance to choose a middle of the road model. I've a grade 3 mk 38 and have no desire to own a grade 5, it looks just nice enough to be fair. One gripe I do have with miroku is ,i wish they would start fitting micro core butt pads as standard . As well as being softer on recoil, length of pull could be altered with different size pads.

[@PremierGunsDoveridge]

Thank you for your comment, I agree that the recoil pads could be a profile system. That said I am not a fan of the Browning Inflex pads at all. Kind regards, Matt

[@pauleasthope3931]

My preference was for a 525 laminate, heavier stock and I like the look

[@AdamsClayShootingGuide]

Love my MK38 I got from you. Cheers guys.

[@PremierGunsDoveridge]

No problem at all Adam. They are great guns. See you soon. Kind regards, Matt

[@AdamsClayShootingGuide]

@@PremierGunsDoveridge The cabinet is full now, bigger cabinet might have to be the next purchase.

[@1valg]

Very nice review. Both guns should be offered with a beavertail foreend.

[@brettwoollacott85]

Another cracking review, great to see the grade 3 making a comeback!Be good to see a review of the new Ultra XS Black laminate when you get chance... 😉

[@PremierGunsDoveridge]

Thank you for your comment. Your wish has already been granted my friend😊. Kind regards, Matt

[@dandylion1987]

Prefer the browning , but they'll both outshoot their owners and I'm sure they'll both be perfectly reliable

[@carlcotterill2588]

Matt, the MK38 Grade 3 has been shortened slightly to ‘Browning’ 14 3/4.. I had to grind in a little spacer.. Also 4 Teague chokes and no Flush chokes. Cracking gun though👍🏼

[@PremierGunsDoveridge]

Thank you for your comment Carl. Interesting as all of our grade 3's are 15". You are right about the chokes though. I wrongly assumed that it would be the same as the standard grade 1 and 5 models. Kind regards, Matt

[@walterwinstanley8502]

Another polished review and very informative, as usual. The grade 3 Miroku with 32 “ barrels looks a good proposition for me. I assume that Muller chokes could be fitted and would not upset the perfect balance (for me) on the hinge pin. If a left hand version was available, or the stock could be altered to left hand, it would be on my shortlist.

[@PremierGunsDoveridge]

Thank you for your comment Walter. I believe that we can make one of these work for you. Yes no problem to add a set of Mullers for the ultimate in balance. Please give me a call with your exact requirements. Kind regards, Matt

[@Jolly56Roger]

I think the Browning looks better I am going to have one soon ! ,not bothered about balance its minimal really .both great guns.👌👌😍😍Got one but not from here got one a lot cheaper and better trade in deal ,And I didn't get the gun from them! got it from you 😛

[@richardtimms8733]

Definitely prefer the MK38, a very nice gun, shame they don't do a beavertail forend option.

[@PremierGunsDoveridge]

Thank you for your comment. We have actually been able to match some grade 5 beavertail forends to these with good results so we can make it happen👍. Kind regards, Matt

[@stevekennerley2208]

Another great and informative video. It would have been good to have a choice of a beavertail forend but great to see a adjustable comb on this gun and at last a plastic case!!

[@PremierGunsDoveridge]

Thank you for your comment Steve. Kind regards, Matt

[@isakdreyerII]

Can you do the Browning 725 sporter II TF Adjustable?

[@PremierGunsDoveridge]

Thank you for your comment. This maybe possible yes. Kind regards, Matt

[@TheMadgit]

Well you've got one less in stock now 😉 Love it, cheers all at PG.

[@peterconserva5083]

Are the new MK 38s available to be shipped to the USA?? If so what is the arrival cost to an American?

[@PremierGunsDoveridge]

Hi Peter. Yes no problem at all we have several in the process of being exported at the moment. Please contact me at [e-mail] with your requirements. Kind regards, Matt

[@fernandez11000]

You really don't like browning do you. I just brought the browning you are talking about and really really love it.

[@StHraklis]

What is the length of the forcing cones in the new MK38?

[@MR12GAUGE]

The cardboard box never bothered me, you buy a miroku to shoot, not to keep in a pretty case

[@markthomas565]

Another great video! Really interested in an MK38 Grade 5, but why would they be barrel-heavy compared to the Grade 3? Isn’t better quality wood denser?

[@PremierGunsDoveridge]

Thank you for your comment Mark. I agree that that should be the case. However I have come across a number of 32" grade 5 models that have been barrel heavy. Kind regards, Matt.

[@grahamedwards9920]

The Browning every time for me but only with the option of a beaver tail forend although a little underwhelmed by both of them to be honest and I only shoot Browning🤷‍♂️.

[@jacobm.w.]

As far as I know, the B525 S3 is roughly the same price as a 725 grade one. And the 725 (the new past 2020 model) is better than the 525. So just speaking about performance is the B725 Grade 1 better than the B525 S3. And is the 725 Grade 1 sporter better or worse than the MK38 grade 3 limited edition? I want to buy my first shotgun but I'm a bit overwhelmed so hope for an answer and would like to ask you further questions via email because I'm from Germany so sadly can not come by. Thank you

[@michaeltwidale4306]

How much are the mk38’s please

[@PremierGunsDoveridge]

Thank you for your comment. We have a large stock of MK38's so please contact me directly at [e-mail] with your requirements. Kind regards, Matt

[@richardsveum8452]

Miroku is missing out on a huge market for their guns by not marketing them in the U.S. is this some kind of strange deal with Browning preventing it?

[@garrett1784]

Starting to see a real lack of effort from Browning these days as far as style unless your willing to pay 10k, but even then your options are limited. I'd buy a Miroku over a Browning any day.

[@PremierGunsDoveridge]

Thank you for your comment. I do understand what you mean but then I guess that shotgun manufacturers have a difficult job in pleasing everyone. Kind regards, Matt

[@anthony208]

The Miroku Mk38 looks spot on, does limited edition mean limited numbers of guns or available for a limited period? Grade 3 looks like everything you’d need in a clay gun at that price range, although if available I would love it if you could order one with less engraving, albeit it wouldn’t make any difference how many clays it busted👍🤣🤣🤣

[@PremierGunsDoveridge]

Thank you for your comment. These are available in limited numbers. Kind regards, Matt

[@sofalugger]

My Rolls Royce Phantom doors shut better then any German car doors! As for LIMITED EDITION easily remedied with four inch grinder, also a Rasp to soften off the sharp Checkering ... Or take it all off (No checkering) looks very nice .. Just off to polish me Hollands...

[@dankruger2890]

ok this is the gun i want,

[@PremierGunsDoveridge]

Thank you for your comment. Please get in touch and I will be happy to assist. Kind regards, Matt

[@rogerdraycott3486]

Cheap choke box ....should do better! Even browning grade 1 has nice plastic box.

[@PremierGunsDoveridge]

Thank you for your comment. The plastic Browning choke case is a new addition for this year. Previously the Browning chokes were supplied in cardboard too. Kind regards, Matt

[@ibelieve1468]

Don't think your Browning man.

[@PremierGunsDoveridge]

Thank you for your comment. I actually shot a Browning GTI Grade 5 trap for many years and I do like Browning guns. I just think that the MK38 feels and handles better than it's Browning counterparts. Kind regards, Matt

[@ibelieve1468]

@@PremierGunsDoveridge just an observation.

[@Jolly56Roger]

Browning are a better gun finished off better.
