Congrats. Was it second hand or a new rifle? I see they have a pair of used Merkel's right now. I'm considering the 160AE.
Yes, the rifle was brand new, unfired. Very very tight tolerances with this rifle, the action is still very stiff when opening. Needless to say, everthing is perfect, fit, finish the whole shebang! I believe that the rifles are old stock however, still new, at Wolverine Supplies.
