![]() ![]() From early on, almost every rifle had a crescent butt. Both had the deep crescent butts and I found them extremely comfortable, but the '92 seemed a bit short because of it.Īs to the design purposes of the crescent, it is an arguable point. Both were fitted like Swiss watches and the actions were as slick as as a greased griddle. I had the '92 Short Rifle and the '86 Take Down. The 92 is an extremely strong action, it'll handle any load you care to try with the. Out of the box the action will be slick and you can expect a pretty decent trigger and they are pretty decent shooters (just like any gun though they have their load preferences). They aren't cheap but I enjoy putting honest wear on them. If you're patient check places like Gunbroker, they can be found there for cheaper but you must be patient and wait for the deal.Īll that being said I buy the Miroku's to be shooters and users NOT to be collectors like the original Winchesters, so I wouldn't pay any extra for a low serial number (but thats just me). Yes there are other companies that produce the same type of 92 clone for cheaper but they all require gunsmithing and in the end you'll end up paying just as much as the Miroku. If American made guns were still made with the same level of quality that Miroku puts into their Winchesters then common rifles like the Remington 700 would all cost thousands of dollars. The rebound hammers and tang safeties have never been an issue for me, not once. I have quite a few Miroku built Winchesters now and I wouldn't hesitate to say they are every bit as good and often better than original Winchesters. I prefer carbine or shotgun butts on my Winchesters but thats personal preference. The crescent buttplate might be a little weird if you haven't shot one before. ![]()
