It comes down to ejectors (Chapuis) or extractors (Merkel). Unless you wait until the end of the year when Merkels get ejectors then it will come down to what comes along at what price. They are both good.

Merkel also has always had ejectors on the rifles up to 9.3X74R, as standard on the 140E models which are made on the 20 ga size action, and the new lighter, and shorter barreled 141, made on the 28 ga size action, up to 9.3X74R the ejectors are an extra cost option, but are available.The ejectors on all Chapuis are an extra cost option as well. As Showbart says later this year the Safari 140-2 rifles will be available with ejectors as well. In the Safari 140-2 the only chamberings worth thinking about are the 470NE, and 500NE. I'm hopeing that Merkel will get smart, and offer the rifle in 375H&H flanged, and 450/400 3" next year. If that happens, I'll likely have two more double rifles with MERKEL engraved on them, to add to the 470NE, and 9.3X74R I already have!
