I can't keep my eye's of this one!

I know , it's an O/U and a rimless... And it has Rino engraving. But the quality fit and overall looks is distracting me from my search for my heavy DG DR.. So in the hope somebody saves me from myself...Please... buy this before I do!.....

Looks to me like they have pictures of 2 different rifles. The one with rhinos looks like a SxS DR.

Like you said, it's O/U and rimless. Keep your wallet in your pocket.

I think it's an optical illusion - it is an O/U
- the other side of the same gun.

The European O/U's have wide looking receivers.

It looks to be a very nice best quality DR. I think the price is right, and have no problems at all with quality o/u rifles or rimless cartridges. I wish I owned it, and you had a better one...

MopaneMike,

I have handled some of the old Kersten style U/O doubles from Merkel and this is a very amateur assessment - they handle very differently from the British guns because the frame is very high and the gun sits very differently in one's hands. You might want to visit the shop and try the fit before you decide to buy it, especially when it's a question of $ 9000+. They are nice guns and doubtless someone who is more experienced than I am (and that includes most members here) would find them easier to shoot but it may be annoying to handle one of these compared to SxS guns.

Best wishes and do let us know what you decide on.
