Re: Heym,Krieghoff,Merkel or the Searcy ??

I have to agree with Lefty! I've owned two Heym 88B rifles, and loved them both, especially the first one which had the selector switch to turn the ejectors to extraactors, and vice-versa.

In the price range the Heym falls, it would be my first choice as well. I have owned all the makes listed, except the Krieghoff. I still own a pair of Merkels, and they are value for money spent, however, they are not in the same price range as the Heym, or Searcy classic. The Merkel, and Krieghoff are in the same ball park, and between those two I prefer the Merkel. The cocking system of the Kreighoff is light years above the Blaser in opperation! The blaser, IMO, does not qualify as a rifle for Dangerous game, simply because it has to be re-cocked manually after breaking open to re-load. The krieghoff re-cocks it's self just like most hammerless double rifles, so when broken, re-loaded, slammed shut, it is ready for the next two! I predict the Blaser will get someone hurt or killed someday, when the first two don't get the job done!

I could live with the Krieghoff, with a few changes, but I like the Merkels better, more British in styling.

Given the choice, of those listed, if they all cost the same, my pick would be the #1Heym, #2 Searcy, #3 Merkel, and #4 the Krieghoff, and way down the list the Blaser,would be my absolute last choice, and I had no other choice! I'd rather have a good CRF bolt ation, than a Blaser double rifle, for use on dangerous game!
