The BC Miroku Model FE is a H&H clone manufactured in Japan. At the time Miroku was manufacturing SXSs, this was their top of the line model. Were I to have an opportunity, I would buy a Miroku Model FE regardless of resale difficulty and enjoy the pleasure of shooting a very nice shotgun the remainder of my shooting days. The Japanese built some very nice shotguns that never reached the American market to establish themselves for the value they represent.
