470NEBD:

Yeah, all of the rifles under discussion are good to an extent and should give good mechanical service. In this price range, I wish they would leave the engraving off and spend the money on better metalwork and fit/finish.

The Merkel is as good as any in its price range. They don't seem to have any accuracy issues. The new guns are reliably extremely stiff. A couple hundred rounds getting used to it should do the trick.

Good quality double rifles will stay on face indefinitely with correct ammo and lubrication. If you horse it, they'll all loosen up quick. I've had well over 1000 rounds through both of mine and both are still dead on face with great bores. Both are pre-war English, the newest was 65 years old when I got it. I have no idea how many rounds they'd had through 'em before they came to me.
