Thanks Dugaboy1. The sales person I talked to was just wanting to sale a Heym in My opinion, not saying the Heym is a bad rifle the price was not very attractive. Also do you know if merkle puts a better recoil pad on or is this something I need to look into

Let me start by appologizing for not getting back before now!

First, there is absolutly nothing wrong with a Heym double rifle. If the Heym, and the Merkel cost the same. the Heym would be my choice hands down, between the two brands. However, they do not cost the same, and the Heym is not enough better than the Merkel to justify the difference in price! The Merkel is a better bargain!

Merkels do not come with a recoil pad! This, IMO, is so the buyer can custom fit the length of pull when he installs the recoil pad. I installed a Pachmeyr decellarator on my 9.3X74R, and the 470NE has a Kick-ese! I prefere the decellarator, and the Pachmeyr comes in the traditional "RED" rubber now. I'm going to replace both mine with the red decellarators.
