I currently have a new Merkel 141 in 8x57JRS. Just completed mounting a scope then took the weekend off to go to a reunion. Will try to shoot it this week and see how it does. Have a bunch of test stuff loaded as it did not come with a target and therefore don't know what it was regulated with. My previous light double was an Otto Geyger in 8x60RS. Even with the hassle of making the brass from 9.3x74r (RCBS had the forming and neckreaming dies) and loading it was a terribly accurate rifle. Had claw bases but I made custom bases for Leupold rings and it shot wonderfully. Really shouldn't have gotten rid of it. I find the small bores to be nice rifles to use on almost anything and if you are looking for something close to an 06 the 8x57 should fill the bill.
