Thanks guys

There is a big difference in price between the Krieghoff and the Merkel.

One site has the Merkel at $5500 or something silly, which is about 4,400 euros!!!!!!!!!!

The Krieghoff is always around $9000 or above.

Which gun is heavier?

That Blaser thing is 11.5 lbs in .500.......

The Chapuis is dear.....

This is personal, but I would NOT get a Blaser...


As to weight, the Merkel and Krieghoff are very similar in my experience..remember stock design does also come into play as to felt recoil..as well as recoil pad..the Merkel I had did not have one at all...Again, I think the Merkel is a very well built weapon, just didn't work for me..have never had the opportunity to fire a Krieghoff, only handle them at SCI or in other gun shops, so can not advise as to one or the other..but Sharpsnitro seems to like his..
