Gentleman:
Are there any Browning dealers here in the USA that can obtain some of the models available in the UK?
Thank you in advance for any information.

I do not believe so. I have quite a few guys buy used European models over in the UK and then I import them for the client.
You might check out some of the retailers in the UK who have shooting grounds, they often have test models which are nearly new for sale at a deep discount.
Best of luck in your search.

Try Charles at British Sporting Arms in Millbrook NY. He imports Mirokus for one and may be able to help. I bought a B15 20-bore from him and it was a great experience.

I wonder if the current shooter using a 20 bore O/U will soon be selling them off when Steel shot become required on almost all driven shoots. Would not surprise me if you start to see a lot of small bore O/U hit Holt's Auction in the next year or two. A gun which can not be used will suddenly drop in resale value over night.

Most 20b o/u guns will handle steel and the added cost of bismuth pales into insignificance against the cost of a driven day for most anyway. Won`t stop me using 20b and indeed I recently added another to the safe as did a couple of pals.

I bought a Miroku High Pheasant 20 gauge from British Sporting Arms this last fall. It has nice engraving, very nice wood and 32" barrels with tight fixed chokes. Its a spectacular gun. Charles has a number of different Mirokus and British market Brownings for sale and I believe he can get anything you want from England.

I’ve been whacking away with a pair of the 30” 1/4, 3/4 High Pheasant’s for a couple seasons now.
Excellent patterns,
Imperdix is correct. Whatever cartridges you desire will be waiting for you if you ask.
Eley Zenith’s are one of my faves.
Out there doing it best I can.
