It is a dual perspective....Has George expressed himself as an authority or salesman?.
George, I would say, is an authority within firearms and particular double rifles because he has been in the business for a very long time, so naturally people will listen to what he says.
Have George been standing at a sales booth at a gun show, he be considered a salesperson.
Question here...what would you like for him to be??.
Agree with what was said that George has forgotten more than most will ever know about double rifles..and as stated, has been doing this a very very long time.
I have talked to George personally at SCI shows in the past...he opinion at that time which is what most of us have heard in the past is that Merkel was built off of their 20 gauge shotgun action..as to Krieghoff he felt the workmanship was not up to his liking..this was back in 2004-5..
I think Merkel is a fine product for those it fits..I have a shotgun or two of theirs and really like them...have never owned the K.
