Hey everyone, have a Merkel rifle for sale... it's brand new, really beautiful. It's a gorgeous weapon, but not something I'd really ever use to be frank. I am hoping the sale will fund my first hunting trip to Africa...!!! So I kinda of cobbled together the description from the Merkel website:
MERKEL Model 141.1 SIDE x SIDE RIFLE ... 9.3X74R caliber ... 21.6" barrel ... A slimline, compact side by side double rifle weighing approximately 6.5lbs. Anson Deeley lockwork, Greener-style cross bolt and double conventional bottom bite. This particular rifle has extractors and double triggers. The front trigger is a Set trigger. Unique to the 141 is the ability to adjust the barrel’s point of impact for regulating different loads. The receiver is coin and employs Arabesque style engraving. It has a beautiful, oiled class 5 European Walnut stock with the optional shadowline cheek piece. Also included is an automatic safety and cocking indicator.
Engraving features game scenes of a running boar on the right side of the receiver and a red deer stag on the left. Arabesque scroll engraving surrounds these scenes and covers the bottom of the receiver, trigger guard, operating lever and the fore end latching hardware. Luxury grade European walnut with straight grain is used for the pistol grip, Monte Carlo stock and the full-size forearm. Multi-point checkering is perfectly cut into the gripping surfaces. Please note the perfection wood-to-metal joints.
Condition: Brand new, 100% per Cabela's evaluation today, and I cannot find a nick, flaw, scratch, anything on it. Comes with Merkel factory paperwork confirming accuracy/certification of origin. Never fired outside of the factory rounds to my knowledge. I am the first & only private owner and purchased the rifle from a German gun shop when stationed in the country. MSR is $13920 per the Gun Blue Book, but would take $11800. More photos available upon request. Will throw in padded hard case for shipping/travel and two locks (for TSA-approval, everyone knows they are a pain). Wire transfers preferred or a money order & shipping to FFL.
