Re: Merkel regulation device, good, bad, ugly?

Kalunga,

I made the terrible and expensive mistake of buying a Krieghoff double with a comparative device, I can tell You to take care, at least my double was a piece of crap. The regulation with this regulating device is switching all the time, propably because of the moon phase, Dow-Jones or whatever reason, but wounding game with such a gun is a experience I do not recommend, because there is no one to blame but You, the owner of a inferior weapon.
I would think that these guns must be like cars, some love Fords and some love Chevy's.
I own a Krieghoff with barrels in 7x65R and 9.3x74R. I have adjusted the barrels and never had them move again. I don't reload and continue to try different factory ammo. When I find one that works I simply adjust the barrels and forget it. I can move them minutely and never have them move again. If yours continue to move you might think to send it back for an adjustment. But you said your getting rid of it so that would be useless.
My Valmet and Krieghoff both are capable of moving point of impact and neither has ever given me a bit of trouble.
Just my humble opinion.
