The Miroku is a much better engineered gun. No brainer...

 

Well-made Japanese copy of a primitive but finely-fitted and durable post-WW I Belgian gun, vs. a mediocre Turkish copy of not-so durable price-point post-WWII Italian guns.

I currently own and intend to own neither. Between the two, I'd take the Miroku.

BTW what bore? The Miroku in 20 Gauge with 28" or 30" barrels can be a decent dove gun. 12 Gauge or 26" barrels? Skip it.

I wouldn't limit myself. Dove season is a long way off.

Mirokus are good guns. The action is identical to the Browning 425 but the barrels are much lighter because it's fixed choke and doesn't have the swaged out muzzles. Standard choking on the 12g is IC/IM.

I don't know about doves, we don't have them in large numbers, but for passing pigeons it's an excellent choice.

I would expect the CZ to be a lot less money. To put it bluntly, the Miroku is in a different league.

 

If it will work on a pigeons it will work on doves.

The two guns I'd look at, specifically for doves, would be a Beretta Silver Pigeon I 20 or 28 Gauge (different frame sizes so worth looking at both) with 30" barrels, and the Cynergy Satin Dove, 20 Gauge, with 30" barrels. These would shoot circles around the guns you're looking at, when you're specifically talking about dove guns.

(Okay you'd need a gunsmith to work the Cynergy's triggers but you have plenty of time before dove season.)

No doubt that the Miroku is the better gun than any Huglu ever made. I'm not sure what makes them primitive. They are solid guns without the recoil, mushy triggers and coil springs that somehow come unglued in Berettas. I have had several Berettas and none were keepers. I have three Miroku MK70s, Two 30" 20ga guns, One 30" 28Ga gun, One 32" Miroku MK38 Sport Trap and One 30" MK38 Trap. Nothing primitive about any of them. BTW, to say they are a copy of a post WWI gun is simply inaccurate.

 

Miroku , it's a better shotgun.
