      I have a 525 about 15/16 years. Shoots well for me and I do a bit I’ve everything. The only thing is with the 525/Miroku the pins will need replacing sooner or later, aside from that the actions are bombproof.
      As for the difference between browning and miroku .. well they’re both Miroku. Browning is only a brand name,the Belgian guns are a bit different In design. There is also a browning fishing brand and that stuff is not very good at all.

      Browning also own, or did own, Winchester. They were assembling rifles in Portugal and they weren't brilliant. The Browning O/U is a time proven design, apart from messing around with the styling, its basically the same gun for 100 years.

      From memory they are about 1600-1700 sterling new. So about 1800-1900 euro before import fees I reckon.

      Thats lunacy, discrimination to 10% of the population. Really surprised to hear that.

      It's not a huge problem to have the top leaver the "wrong" way once the stock fits.

      Yes, it goes from centre to right normally.

      It's not difficult to use your left hand, it just needs a slight repositioning of the hand position which isn't required for a right hand user.

      Enjoy, and best of luck with it. Come up to Hilltop some Weds evening and put it through its paces.

      I honestly can't remember since it's so long since I've been able to go up. Maybe around €17 for the compact with two boxes of cartridges ???

      Members rate is very reasonable - there was a thread about it here a year or so ago and I think Hilltop was the best value with cartridges included.

      Hi all
      Some practical questions on cleaning and storage
      Is WD40 good for cleaning the bores as its less aggressive than some solvents
      Do you store the gun dis assembled in the safe
      If assembled is it best to store it barrel down
      Any thoughts from you experienced chaps :)

      The only thing i have ever found wd40 good for, is machining aluminium. After that i find it useless. Buy a proper bore solvent.
