Re: Merkel 96K - drilling

Robie,

I wish I had one just like it, and you had a better one... Your choice of gauge/caliber are hard to argue with, as are your bullet choices. I wish I hadn't sold my 16/7x57R drilling. It was a real nice combination for my usual type of hunting...deer and chucker or grouse...all at the same time.

Weight was my only complaint about my recent manufacture Merkel drilling, and it WAS in a heavier caliber and 12 gauge...adds a lot to the heft. A 20/7mm should trim down nicely. The factory will on special order and for extra $$$ regulate the right barrel for Brennekes and configure the rear sight to remain standing when the rifle barrel has been de-selected...essential for shooting the slugs and insert barrels.
