I'm curious why the Miroku dt guns aren't held in high regard. Aren't they the same group that makes Citoris? Hard to believe the quality wouldn't be similar to the bss, and you get dt's to boot.


Personally, I haven't seen or had any problem with the Citori single triggers but I do LOVE double triggers. Last year I found a beautiful Beretta that had been reworked by Coles in Maine. He restocked it with beautiful wood (straight stock too) and then added double triggers... had it been a 20ga, I probably would have bought it.


The Miroku guns aren't as popular for a couple reasons. For one, less people know about them. Plus, most of the DT guns were imported by Charles Daly and most people would rather have a Browning over a Charles Daly. Also, Browning imported way more SXSs than Charles Daly. The wood, checking and engraving on the Daly guns is not as nice so that could be another factor. But I would say that the Daly/Miroku SXSs are probably more reliable.... they have extractors and double triggers. Plus, the Dalys have chopper lump barrels while the Brownings have dovetail barrels. They are also lighter weight and about 1/2 the price.

I go with Daly any day. They are really sleepers.
