Hello All; I am very close to buying a new Merkel 140 E in 450/400 NE. Does anyone have experience with these that may affect my decision? It's a lot of money to me and I don't want to make a big mistake. This would be my first DR. Thanks for your help, Hugh | ||

There are lots of guys here on AR with Merkel knowledge and opinions. Also, you might want to speak with Mike Stewart (posts here as mdstewart), here is his compnay website: http://featherandfly.com/ Paul Smith SCI Life Member NRA Life Member DSC Member Life Member of the "I Can't Wait to Get Back to Africa" Club DRSS I had the privilege to fire E.

Hughman, You're welcome to give me a call or send email. I think you'll be very pleased with both the gun, it's accuracy, and the caliber. Just shot one for another customer this week with good results using factory Hornady ammo. I'll be glad to forward pictures if you'd like. PM me for phone number and email address.

I was in the same situation a couple of years ago and, after looking both over (not shooting them), I chose a Krieghoff for slightly more. I like it. | |||
