I have a K95, but I already have 3 barrels fitted to it. I am looking for other options.

The Sabatti is a pretty gun for the money, that might be a good option. A 222 would be a lot of fun for grouse, fox and marmots.

The owner of a gunshop in Spain I bought my Blaser S-2 from had a Sabatti 6.5x57 he had used on tons of Spanish ibex and chamois. He thought highly of it.

The Fair is pedestrian looking. The ViMa I had not heard of, the Baikal is the most pedestrian looking. I'll have to handle the Haenel when I step off the aircraft next month.

Did you ever get to check out the Haenel? I'm considering ordering one and would like to hear your opinion.


It's not the caliber of the rifle that matters - It's the caliber of the man behind it.

You could consider a Luxus Arms break open, available in most any caliber, with the most beautiful wood. You select the wood, match barrel,
decoration,finish, and engraving etc. one of the best parts is the trigger. Made in the USA.

I did not see one at my local Frankonia.

I'll get to the big city after Christmas and see if someone has one down there. We are also going to Salzberg, Austria in January. I think there is a big gunshop down there I'll take a look if they have one.

The wife and I have the Merkel single shot rifle. Mine is a K3 in 30-06 and hers is a K1 in 7x57R. We love them. They are light and sub-MOA with about any load you throw in them.

The Haenel Jaeger 9 appears to be a economy version of the Merkel K3 which would make sense as I believe Merkel owns Haenel.

Safe travels............Larry

Heym and the supreme gunsmiths like Ziegenhahn, Prinz or Retz und Sohn. They are all very special manufacturers of the finest guns in the world. I think you should buy a custom gun instaed of a Blaser or Merkel out of the box.

I have a couple of goals one of is to see if I can find a few blockbuchsen of the Heeren type.

The second is a smaller large caliber double rifle, either a 450/400, 500/416 or 375 H&H (not flanged) for a reasonable price.

The third goal is a big mauser.

The fourth goal is to take advantage of my .19 tax break, and a sale and end up with one of the new Sauer 404 carbon fiber synchros for about $4000.

All of these goals are based on me not moving again while we are here. Moves are expensive, and any move will blow huge holes in any hunting.
