Price on Merkel 470 or 500
What's a good price on a Merkel 470 or 500 new and used?

If it is the rifle alone with no accessories, and if with extractors only about $8K. If it comes with ejectors you can add another $500, and if it comes with a fitted case as well the price will go up to about 9 to 10K. If it is a 500NE it will command about another 1K with the afore mentioned add ons. All this is for a used but not abused double rifle in either chambering.

I have a 140-2 Safari 470NE with extractors with a factory fitted case and a cape buffalo soft case and sling with the shoe-lump action that 10K would not buy but they are available at that price if you look hard enough.

It's way back now, but he still has it. I let him know you're looking. I'll see if I can dig it up and bring it back to the top.

Thanks for the help guys. I ended up buying Badger Matt's Merkel. Good looking gun and a great guy to deal with.

Congratulations: I wish I could say more. Good hunting.

Mr. RSM:

Your rifle is an execptional purchase. I believe everyone's double rifle is the best in the world because it is your rifle. I used the, "wish I could say more" language because I thought congratulations was insufficient for the occasion. I cannot remember not wanting a double. I grew up hoping, but not expecting I would ever possess my own double. When I did the experience was almost overwhelming when the hard work and dreaming became a reality.

I figure the purchase of your Merkel was similar. So, now I have said too much. Please share your hunts, shoots, and rifle with us. I never get tired of it.
