Re: Merkel 141 E new for half price

Had a look at the Fronkonia website and saw the guns I have been looking at. Average price at Fronkonia is 5,000.00 Euros. I think it is worth it.
I had a second look at one of the targets that was e-mailed to me. This is the target for the rifle in colour case hardening. The date on the target is 06.12.04, which I assume is 2004. Interesting these guns are only seeing the light of day at this time.

I had noticed that as well. Not sure if it was 04 or 06. Don't know why it's so old. The grey grid squares are 1cm and I would guess the bullets holes are less than 3/4 of an inch apart.
If I remember correctly I had priced these guns out before and they were slightly less money than the 140 which can be had for $6500. I think the price at the time was around under $6000 for the most basic gun.
I think the jury is still out on these. I have not been able to find many reports of these "new" adjustable regulation Merkels which have been out for some time...
Being that I was the guinea pig and owned one of, if not, the first Baikal 30-06 double as well as the first Sabatti rifle in Canada, I will let others go first this time.
