    Edit: Just read this online "the Haenel takes Rem 700 bases, but according to the rep, the Merkel uses Savage bases", so you're right.
    Well, I know they don't take Rem 700 mounts, front and back has two drilled and tapped mount locations, they have the same centre to centre distance between them. Rem 700 setup at the back is little shorter. How do I know, the Rem 700 mounts I purchased yesterday didn't fit...! I actually called Merkel USA this morning, they confirmed I need Savage Long Action mounts. But distance between them seems way too apart and regular rings won't work (i.e. extended / offset rings may be required), so may be piccatiny rail is the easiest solution.

    Sounds about right, just purchased Leupold 55742, looks promising. Compared to Rem 700 bases, these look a bit thicker (screws for the front with Rem 700 bases were bottoming out) and has shorter curvature, which was another observation I had last night... Will make a note here how it goes...

    Leupold 5572 barely worked. Screws for the front base did bottom out again, had to shorthen those two screws for about 2mm. I don’t know why they didn’t drill and tap those holes little deeper.

    Aside from the screws, they did mount up correctly?

    That’s actually a hell of a deal when an Ikea rifle is selling for that.

    Are the triggers adjustable?
