I just purchased a second hand Merkel 140 SxS in 9.3x74R. The rifle is almost brand new, it is beautifully balanced like a grand shotgun, I am very impressed! The rifle weighs about 7.5 pounds, perfect for its design, a driven game rifle! I am working on regulation as the RWS ammunition it was regulated with is not available even in components. I am confident I will have little trouble regulating with 250gn bullets (regulated with 247 KS)however the slower heavier bullets are proving more problematic beacuse of their lower velocity.
Big fan of this outfit!!!
