Dutch:

Yes, the 140-2 is Merkel's base model for the safari caliber double rifles - but don't let the base model term disturb you. The better versions basically have more engraving on it, but if you ask me, it's pretty poor.

Regarding the less "clubby" feeling you mentioned, I can't give an opinion as I have never handled a merkel in .416. I handled and shot my .500 NE and a .470. I did not find them clubby at all.

Yes, the price does seem like a good deal to me.
