Re: Merkel 7x57R Double Rifle

In reply to:
That's pretty good. A lot of people don't understand that Doubles are hunting rifles, not just stoppers. They can and do shoot as well as any other rifle of a given caliber and are a lot more fun to carry around.
What Mick said!!!!!!!!!!!
My little 9.3X74R is my favorite double, and I use in far more than any other I own. I did own a little S/S 8X57JR double that weighed only 7.5 lbs, that was a sweet little rifle, and would print all shots from both barrels in a 1" group at 100 yds, off the sand bags. The right barrel had a "SET" trigger, and it made that barrel a 300 yd deer rifle! I've been trying to get it back for 5 yrs, but I can't pry it loose form it's now owner! He's smarter than I am!
