I,m glad you liked it. My next double will be a 9.3x74 ,then a 500NE once I get a payout. I was looking at the Merkels as I like there style. (OK I realy would have loved a H&H royal model deluxe ,but hey). I wasnt so much after a realy fancy gun ,but did want one which at least looks nice and works perfectly.

Has anyone let of 1000s of shots from there Merkel? How are they holding together?
