Thread: Miroku Mk, 70 Mk 10 and Mk 11

Can't disagree with much that has been posted above. Mk70 and Mk10 share the same action, but Mk10 gets the adjustable position trigger, Invector Plus chokes or Briley thin-walls dependent on era, wider top rib, ventilated rib between barrels etc. Nothing in there is of great consequence in my opinion. Mk11 is a different, new action which is not as deep in cross-section, and I think has mechanical trigger reset instead of Inertia trigger reset? Read up on the Browning 725 if you like - it's the same as the Mk11 action and there'll be a lot more info out there.
Stocks are different between Mk70, Mk10 and Mk11, but are also different between different ages of shotgun. I know of 3 different stock shapes for Mk10's over the years, with no model designation to show the difference. The 'fit' is the only thing I would be concerned about if choosing between these Miroku guns. If your Mk70 fits you well, don't change it. If it doesn't (or you're not sure), then try the other ones and see what you think. And don't decide you like a modern Mk10 and then buy an old one on trademe without checking the stock dimensions, otherwise you'll probably find they're not the same...

FYI, I'm not really an expert on these. I shoot exclusively with a Mk10 and two of my brothers each have one as well (though the stocks are different), and I've shouldered the Mk70 and Mk11 in gunshops. Everything else is just what I've read.

Hi
Google Miroku Australian and New Zealand and you will be directed to an excellent web site that should be of help.
I have a 2016 mk70 sporter that has a thick rubber type recoil pad. Game guns have a thin plastic recoil pad. I find the sporter has no issues when clay target shooting.
If you do fit a different recoil pad ensure that the gun still fits.
Be sure to check the Miroku web site
