Thanks for the info so far. I don't have any practical experience with the old Daly Mirokus, but I really like this gun. It's a superior grade with not-half-bad wood and engraving. All my Benelli-toting friends rolled their eyes at my plans to make it a duck gun, but the $1,000 I saved over the price of a new Benelli SBEII will buy me a lot of shells and decoys.
