Bonanza:

I've only put about two dozen rounds down range with it at both 50 and 100 yard targets. I usually shoot it off hand, but the sitting position is better than standing. (But I think the recoil is worse sitting--personal opinion here.)

I'm also getting used to the recoil ;-)

To be honest, at 50 yards (sitting) I'm doing pretty good. I am usually getting them within three-four inches; at 100 yards (sitting) I'm getting about five-six inch groups.

Off hand, hell, sometimes I miss the side of the barn!

I'm a novice with shooting the Merkel, but with regular bolt action rifles I'm a pretty good shot. With this big double, I "OK", but in need of more practice.

As to note, the regulation target sent with my rifle had a 1.5-2" grouping at 100 yards. (I'll have to check it again when I get home and bone up on my German).

DISCLAIMER--the groupings may just be blind, dumb luck! Only time will tell when I shoot some more--what a great reason to cap off a few more! For the good of the team!
