Nice-looking rifle, Merkel.
It has an attractive dark grain in the stock and the engraving looks less heavy-handed than on some I've seen.

I only wish I could have afforded some engraving on my Heym but it would have been another $3000 and probably a year's wait. (The firearm-registration lot sent me a certificate saying I had the engraved Safari model but, sadly, I had to argue with them that I didn't and that I feared some overzealous official might stop me taking it into Africa if the paperwork wasn't right.)

I hope your rifle shoots as well for you as it looks. It should make a dandy sambar rifle among other things.
