Had a B92 briefly, and it was a little gem, but I simply couldn’t shoot it nearly as well as my Low Wall, plus the 1-38” twist wouldn’t handle some bullets I like, so it went to someone that wanted to admire it, not shoot it.

No doubt about it, the guns Miroku made for Browning had better wood, sometimes very very nice, and based on pics the wood to metal fit was better too. I have two Browning LWs, and they’re staying right here until I depart.

I have a hankering for one of the new 73s, but they seem to be unobtanium. Actually all Mirokus seem scarce, including the Citori 725 I’ve had on order for four months. An option for “Winchesters” is Pedersoli, which is making 94s and 86/71s in both traditional styling and modern. They make an 86 in .444 too. Reviews have been very positive, but you know how that goes. Taylors & Co. is very nearby, so if they ever show any in stock I’ll go take a gander.

Does anyone know if the current color-cased Winchesters are real or some kind of paint?


What fresh Hell is this?
