I want to thank you all for the really kind remarks and add a few comments.

All three rifles are 318 bore and rimmed.

The O. Geiger is Dad's rifle and he's had it for years. One photo that I had intended to post shows the crossbolt. It is square and while opinions vary as to it's value, it has just always rung my bell. The machine work and fitting required just blow my mind.

The Frauenstorfer is trully a merkel and though photobucket has swrewed up my login code for now I'll post a photo of the breech face showing the merkel mark that denotes merkel. I found it on the net and after a week or so of scrounging money and smothering to death I finaly got it.

The merkel with ejectors is one I just got. WvTom and I found it at a gunshow and with about an inch of dust in the muzzles. As it turned out, I traded almost everything on my table and all my cash except for enough gas money home. I had a large John Primble 4 blade congress knife in my pocket that I was fretting with throwing in also when the fellow agreed to take all my junk. :^) :^)
