Is the Merkel being built on a shotgun frame a strength issue?
They are built on a rifle action not a shotgun action. Competitors or their touts have said that in the past, and other people read it on the internet and then repeat it, even years later.
I know who used to say it and he touted for a certain competing brand ...
Well that is at least my opinion. I will visit the Merkel factory oneday and see for myself ...
I was told the same thing--that it is first and foremost a rifle action, not a shotgun action..and agree, have heard that same thing for years..I think Merkel is an very nice weapon..have a shotgun or two of theirs I use for pheasants..great guns..
