I had read about Doubles for decades and wanted one because
I had finally decided to hunt Africa.

I wanted one so bad I bought a Merkel 470 NE sight unseen over the internet from a fellow 3000 miles away.Thank God the references, work info,etc and deal worked out. I sweated getting that gun like crazy until it arrived.

You have to have the hots pretty bad to risk sending Thousands of dollars by cashiers check to an individual you have only spoken to a few times over the phone--

I call it Doublemania!!
