It is a very interesting concept! One gun for all hunting..

I've got a Merkel .470 and I'm thinking of getting a second barrelset: 9,3x74R seems as the best choice, however 8x57JR should work just fine and be better suited to Norwegian hunting.

Has anyone here added barrels to a Merkel before?

What about the calibers of choice? The 8mm should be good enough for plainsgame I suppose? The whole idea about this is to travel to Africa with a leather-case, not a big bulky box...

What about wear and tear?? I have an idea that it might not be a good idea to fit two-three different barrelsets to the same action. On the Merkel they come very thight from the factory, maybe too tight..? what will happen when a second or third barrelset get fitted, and you keep changing lot? PS. I don't shoot hundreds of animals every year, but I do like to practise and become familiar with my rifles.. I'd probably not wear down my double anyway, but nice to know what to expect.
