Need advice on DR
      #65588 - 10/11/06 12:34 AM

I'm thinging about trading my Merkel .375 for a Henry Aktin 450/400 2 3/4" hammer gun.

See it at http://www.thadscott.com/

Two concerns I have:
1: Really whimpy cartridge.
2: Oddball cartridge, however it is claimed to be the same as the 10,3x60 swiss which is avaiable.

This could be a very sweet handleing fun to shoot rifle that will appreciate over time moew than the Merkel.

BTW, also remember that I allready have have a big bore double and a Dakota bolt .375, so I could live without the Merkel.

Advise appreciated.

That's not a bad looking rifle. Do you know if it is original condition or a re-do?

Like you, I am unimpressed with the chambering. It could be fun though, and these rifles are as much for fun as anything else.
