    Optic for Merkel 140

    I have been putting my new Merkel 140-2 450-400NE through the paces and discovered it shoots low except with the 75 yard leaf, which is well forward of the 50 yard leaf and express site. This got me thinking. I know it is sacrilege, but I would experiment with a red dot type optic. The...
