About the Miroku MK70
The Miroku MK70 is a Japanese-made over/under shotgun crafted by Miroku Corporation, the same manufacturer that produces Browning shotguns. Available in Sport and Game configurations, the MK70 features back-bored barrels for improved pattern performance, Invector-Plus choke system compatibility, a single selective trigger with automatic ejectors, and Grade 3+ walnut stocks. The silver nitride finished steel receiver provides corrosion resistance with an elegant appearance. The MK70 represents exceptional value in the mid-range O/U market, offering Japanese precision manufacturing at a competitive price point. Available with 28, 30, or 32-inch barrels in 12 and 20 gauge.
Miroku Corporation's partnership with Browning, which began in 1966, transformed a small Japanese firearms maker into one of the world's most respected shotgun manufacturers. The MK70 represents Miroku's own-brand offering, allowing the company to sell directly the same quality of craftsmanship that earned Browning its global reputation - but often at a more competitive price.

Miroku Corporation has manufactured Browning firearms under contract since 1966. The MK70 is sold under Miroku's own brand primarily in Australia, New Zealand, and parts of Europe. The quality of manufacturing is comparable to Browning Citori shotguns, as they share the same factory and production methods. Weight: ~3400g (12ga Sport with 30" barrels). The Grade 5 variants feature upgraded wood with more figure and enhanced engraving.
