Congrats on the Merkel. It is a great rifle.

As I have discussed many times, I have a Merkel 140 in .500NE that has been shot many hundreds of times. It is finely accurate and stout as hell. It's also decent looking and well balanced.

Yours will be the same.

Merkel is doing great service to the sporting community by producing this well-made and reasonably priced double rifle.
