I was fortunate to work a deal with Chris and get the Merkel.
The gun is GREAT! It handles, balances, and swings much better than a 470. I think it to be the best fit for the action/barrels used fo Merkels DR.If you want to swing a deal on a Double-contact Chris-- he will help work a deal if at all possible. He is a a real professional and very knowledgible about DR's. Nice fellow.

I am going to hunt wild pigs with it in Florida in the next several months Can't wait to bang on a boar! Then AFRICA when I can hoard away enough coins.
