I just wanted to show off one of my favourite guns. I love my drillings and combos but this Merkel is the best of them all. I load it with Sierra 165 TGK and it shoots well under and inch 3 shot groups. The 16 ga gives the gun a perfect balance and the original German scope is a 1.5-6 power which is as clear as most optics being produced now.

I traded a fellow CGNer for it a few years back and it was as new…. Possibly never fired. The bluing is wonderful and there wasn’t a mark on it.

Every time I’m not hunting deer with it and I walk past a grouse or a rabbit I kick myself! Lol.

Good hunting!

Ah that is what I’m looking for, one day! I have all the reloading components and dies for the 7x65r, and lots of factory ammo(why you ask? Long story)
But one day I would love to have one a good one!
Maybe 8x57r would be more appropriate for up her cause it is bison legal…
