I first got a gun from my local gun shop it was a cheap make all went wrong but that is a story of it own ,so gave it back to them and started to look for a browning ultra xs as my big bro. uses one with good results it is 7 or 8 years old found a shooting ground that had half a dozen of them from £1495 up
off i went with a pocket full of cash ,the lady at the shop took one look at me and the coment was you need a miroku as my face is to fat for the browning. she was right on it my eye was no where near the center of the rib
but the mk 70 was right on it for me. Off i went to one of the stands with a brand new gun 20 shots later and a lot of broken clays, later i was back in the shop,i parted with £1100 for a new gun.the following weekend off i went with the big bro to brake some clays then the fun started i ended up with a hole in my thumb from the sharp edge on the safety but he spotted a bigger problem was that it was punching holes in the primers on the bottom barrel back it went to browning a week later i got it back a quick 50 bird sporting later and it was still doing it, this time the shop sent it to a local gun smith now it works fine, and as for the hole in my thumb my dremel soon took the shape bits of the gun. all in all i think it is a cracking gun and worth every penny of the £1100 i payed for it and £400 cheaper than the second hand browning i was after.taz
