The price of Doubles is wild.

Prior to my Merkel I had nothing at 1/2 its price.

The Merkel can be had probably cheaper than the Chapuis, possibly in 470 NE.

I had a 470 NE and traded up with New Guy @ Double Gun Imports for a 500 NE. Merkels don't handle/balance as well "in the hands" as more $$$ Doubles but they get the job done.

Handle a Merkel then a Chapuis, then a Heym/higher level entry Double, then an best quality English Double and you will appreciate the handling/quality characteristic of each better.

For me the Merkel is OK and will kill 'em just as dead as better quality Doubles if I do my part.

On the other hand if I could get a 450/400 best quality English Double with claw mounts,a qd Scope at a "fire sale" price(I'm dreaming here)-----
