- A rare Miroku Sporters from across the pond is the subject of this weeks review. A model that only came to the UK in very small numbers and that still remains scarce today.
Matthew points out the considerable differences between this Australian specification Miroku and it's UK counterparts from the period reffering to a viewers original advertisement.This is a gun that belies it's grading with an interesting engraving/woodwork mix.
As with all the guns we source here at Eastfield Gunroom this 9000 also comes with a little bit of provenance. - Sport
I have a miroku 9000 baught brand new in Australia 1991 . Have shot thousands of cartridges for hunting and clays and still going strong. Looks brand new as well.
Great gun
Thank you for your comment. I have actually just got my hands on another 9000. Kind regards, Matthew
A great review - the depth of your knowledge on these guns is awesome.
Thank you for your comment and kind words. Glad that you enjoyed the video. Kind regards, Matthew
Thanks for another great review Matt. That is a very special Miroku. Glad the adverts helped.
Thanks Mike. I will no doubt refer to some of the other adverts in the future. Kind regards and thanks again. Matthew
Another excellent review Matt, thank you!
Thank you Gerry. Kind regards, Matthew
Matt, I found you again!!! I've already subscribed and will start watching your videos. You are the best at describing shotguns.
Thank you for your comment and kind words Tim. Happy to help with anything I can. Did you manage to get a 525 SL? Kind regards, Matthew
i had a miroku 9000 many moons ago great review 👍
Thank you for your comment and kind words. I really like the 9000 and part of me wishes I had kept hold of this one now. Kind regards, Matthew
I’ve funnily enough just sold my Mk70 and bought a 9000. I haven’t got her yet but will (hopefully) soon. The wood is definitely a lot nicer than anything “standard” and I look forward to taking it out for some fun soon. Thanks for the video
Thank you for your comment. I am glad that you enjoyed the video. A great gun the 9000 I am sure that you will enjoy it. Kind regards, Matthew
Great review and thanks for the advice. Still not sure what to buy! lol.
Thank you for your comment. Haply to help where I can. Kind regards, Matthew
Hi Matt, could you do a review on the Miroku ML 11 sporter adjustable it's hard to find any information on this shotgun.
Hi Jason thank you for your comment. I will put it on the list. None here in the UK so might have to import one. Kind regards, Matthew
That’s a beautiful gun 👍✅
Thank you for your comment. Completely agree, a very nice gun indeed. Just got my hands on another one too. Kind regards, Matthew
I have a Miroku 9000, lovely gun I wouldn't change it, I bought it from Premier Guns at Doveridge, from an extremely patient chap who took the time and effort to go the long way round to convince me I needed an adjustable comb, Matt his name was, now where could he be now?
Thank you for your comment. Yes I wonder where can he be?🤔...Kind regards,Matthew
Great review, agree about the highly figured wood(black walnut), the wood you get a G5 even G3 with other makes you have to step into the very high grades
costing 5x the price of a Miroku. That said I have seen stocks cracked at the hand on MK10 G5, Miroku warranty the wood for 3 yrs.
I think high grade gunstock wood is getting harder to obtain. I like dark figured wood and well cut scroll engraving 30-50% coverage.
Thank you for your comment and kind words Bruce. American Walnut can be a bit tricky for cracking but there seems to have been a bit of a shift in the strength of the stocks through the 'head' over the last few years. Will get round to your emails I promise. Kind regards, Matthew

Looks like my gti game scene
Thank you for your comment. Yes very similar engraving to a GTI Ultra S as you say. Kind regards, Matthew
it would be great if you could make a review of Miroku 12 gauge SL-120. or the 2o bore.
Thank you for your comment. I have only ever seen one Miroku SL120 but I like a challenge! Kind regards, Matthew
Would it be ok to shoot steel loads through this at more open chokes? Consensus seems to be yes but still bit spooked about pressures generated by modern steel loads
Thank you for your comment. This gun would be fine with standard performance steel (not high performance) through open chokes. Kind regards, Matthew
Another interesting gun review. Am I right in thinking that Chopper Lump barrels are unusual in mass produced O/U’s, including older guns?
Thank you for your comment. Indeed, most manufacturers use what are essentially sleeved barrels yet Browning/Miroku up until 1995 (approx) were chopperlump. Kind regards, Matthew
The MK 70 that I have has a large hollow in the stock. I wonder if this gun has a more solid stock with less of the wood removed?
Thank you for your comment. That would certainly explain the barrel heaviness of the gun. Kind regards, Matthew
Love the 9000, was basically a better finished version of gti, now is the mk10, which is a step up from a mk38, shame the mk10 isn't sold in more countries
Thank you for your comment. The 9000 is indeed a cracking gun. I'm actually starting to regret letting this one go. Kind regards, Matthew
As with most Miroku's you regret passing them on, and 100% over here in Aus Miroku is probably the most seen gun, and the higher grades/ competition guns are used by many of our top shooters
ok thats it.
Thank you for your comment although I am.not sure that I understand it. Kind regards, Matthew
