Quite good, but, although I may be pilloried for this, any double will be more load sensitive than a bolt and will take more work to sight in. This topic has been one of some debate here and elsewhere, but if you are shooting in the Western US, and short of a very upset Grizzly, none of the game you shot at will be a threat to you, a scoped bolt gun will allow you to achieve better accuracy with a larger variety of loads and be just as efficient, especially on a first shot kill basis. At 150+, you will want a scope. A scoped double will cost more although for the one barrel sighted in, should be nearly as accurate to 150. The second barrel will have to be re-regulated for that distance, and I am not aware that any mfg is doing that, unless you contact Merkel to see if their gunsmith can regulate on of their 141s with the adjustable barrel feature for that range. (They offer it in 30-06 and in 9.3X74R, which should work for most Western game at 150. They also offer a scope mount for a reasonable price.) Now, go ahead guys, give me some grief on this, but remember, I love DRs too, but for what he is thinking about, a bolt will work better for less. Just my opinion. Dave |
