My "new" 140 in 470 nitro came with the toe of the stock cracked. It has reamer chatter in the neck of the chamber that is bad enough to leave rings on the case necks! The safety has started slipping back on after the first shot. Quality control was not impressive on the rifle. I knew it was a bottom line working rifle but I expected better.

The good news is that the reamer marks do not seem to effect case life. I was able to remove the crack by installing a 11/2" pad.

The rifle shoots very well and I was able to fit the stock to me with a little sanding ,that reduced felt recoil a lot.

It has doubled 3 times, right barrel fired first, I have trouble with my hands and It may have been my fault.

The thing that pissed me off the most,about the whole problem was the lack of response,I got from their gunsmith. I got burned by UPS on several claims and do not like shipping expensive firearms.

I was prepared to drive 5 hours to bring the rifle in. Their gunsmith would not agree to meet with me while I was there. He said I could drop it off, but he would not stop to meet with me. He must of felt his time was more important than mine!!!! I was going to look at a 20 GA while there, his lack of interest cost them a sale I purchased a AYA #2 round body instead. It was only a $8000.00 rifle I realize he was to busy to fixing broke Merkel to worry about my problems.
