I have had a Miroku and a 1885 ,i my a opinion they are better made than the Ruger, although the Ruger has good points, i had one in 375 which i was going to convert to 577 ,i sold all the barrel and bits to Aussie steve in the end .Have a look at both and decide which one you like better ,the browning may look more archaic with exposed hammer etc ,the Ruger nicer to look at ,the action on Browning i found tighter and slicker than the Ruger .
