    I, for one, need to see more photographs of this rifle...

    Miroku got the marketing rights for the browning pattern shotguns they made for Australia and perhaps NZ? You could only buy Miroku here until grey imports started a few years back. The rifles never came to Aust, perhaps NZ only.

    Must be a reasonably lightweight barrel to be 7pd with 24 inch length? Some lovely custom features, who put it together?

    Saw something similar in 30-06 but on a Brno action recently. Awesome piece of gear.

    I didn't commission it myself (too broke for that).

    The stock work was done by Kevin Gaskell, and the metal work by Allen Carr (sp?).

    I'm going to get some Conetrol scope mounts for it.

    I can only see one thing wrong with that rifle Frodo............

    It's not mine.
