Well, I have always wanted a double, have daydreamed many times over what might one day happen. Pondered whether my various 458s or 375s would have been better with two barrels......

A couple of days ago I saw an opportunity and realised a dream with the snap purchase of a Merkel 140AE in 470 NE, should be here in a week!

Looking forward very much to getting out and hunting some game with what I suspect will pan out to be a regularly carried handy working rifle.

Good times!!!
