It's a Bernhard Merkel 8x57jr double with ejectors and side clips. A bolted safety and very nice engraving only 7.5lb.I can't wait to take it out for whitetails this fall.

Nice looking gun. The 8 X 57 is very close to a 30-06 and we all know how effective they are on deer. Enjoy your new toy.

Hi Joshlee0518 (please let me know if you are fine being addressed like that),
Thought I would drop you a PM. It is super exciting to plan a hunt and we are more than happy to assist you. Have you given any thought yet to which species you would like to take?
What do you hunt usually and which weapons/calibers are you using?
Look forward to swapping experiences and ideas.
Happy hunting - Daniel
