WEll ,Ive pretty much made up my mind then. I will be after a Merkel side lock shot gun and a Merkel 9.3x74 box lock DR. From what Ive been able to gleen on the net ,the Merkels will shoot loose if loaded for the very high presure bolt rifle cartridges.(but then I suppose ,which doubles wont) If I get one in 9.3x74 or 470-500 NE , It should last as long as I need. It might not be the H&H royal model delux ,but it will do me.
