The concept of the ‘tricked up’ competition gun has been slow to take off in this country. In America it is commonplace for companies such as Seminole Gunworks or Ballistic Specialities to take a standard gun and modify it. Lots of things can be done to a standard gun, from choke and forcing cone alterations to porting, trigger tuning and stock work. We have plenty of specialists who can do one or more of these things but no one has pulled them together to put on sale a ‘ready to race’ package that saves the buyer the time and trouble of getting all the work carried out.
Now that has changed as James and Brett Hand have used the expertise of top sporting shot Carl Bloxham to design their version of the ideal sporting gun. Carl of course has enjoyed most of his success with the Miroku marque. The aim, according to James Hand, is to put a gun into the hands of the improving shot “in which he can have total confidence, sure that if he is doing the right things his gun will deliver the results.” The result is a package full of interesting details.
The starting point for this gun is a standard Grade 1 Miroku MK38 trap model. Miroku’s interpretation of the classic Browning action has itself become a classic, with a reputation for reliability and for being one of the most ‘user friendly’ guns you can buy. It is natural that Carl chose the trap version because he himself favours the beavertail fore end found on this gun.
