Re: Scoping Merkel model 141

GG375,Yes,I`m down in Victoria. I purchased my Merkel 141 through Granite Arms(wholesaler) and Mcdonalds gun shop.It`s 7x57R and I had it regulated for RWS ammo but I shall have to handload as RWS is hard to get in Oz.I have had it for a short time only but it has met-or exceeded-all my expectations.It`s petite,slim and has lovely balance but with a feeling of solidity as well.The finish is excellent but perhaps alittle more hand finishing of the fitted parts was required as it was somewhat tight,particularly the forend.The wood was of good quality with straight grain flow.I didn`t get the adjustment instructions with the rifle but after pointing this out the factory emailed them to me.Once the functioning of the adjustment system is understood changing the relative position of the barrels is easy.I decided to have a scope mounted here in Oz because I speculated it would be relatively easy with the adjustable muzzle-as well as cheaper.That job hasn`t been completed yet so I will let you know the result.All in all though I am delighted with the rifle.Regards HUBERT
