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.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
