Wow. That is a deal.
 
Wow, agree with Tom!!!
 
Are these the same Merkel double rifles that are "doubling" and creating much discussion on multiple forums?

Yep their US distributor is in Bessemer AL and they have a master gunsmith on premises to make repairs if needed. I would love to have a 470 NE I. One of these. Thanks for sharing @matt85
 
Wow that is tempting Matt.
 
That's pretty close to dealer pricing, so yeah I would say it's a good deal. If you're in the market for a double rifle and Merkel is on your list, I would give it some seious consideraion (y)
 
be wary of that auction... the seller has no rating. this wouldnt be an issue for a small item but for $7000 its very risky.

This!
I would only make the deal FTF or with another trusted AH member helping me out. I have done it a couple times for guys wanting to buy a rifle in Houston. One was completely legit and I acquired the rifle and shipped it to my friends FFL. The other was a Ruger Express Rifle, I drove to the address provided and it was in a section 8 housing complex in the hood. I only had a 45, 380 and an AR-15 with me so I figured i might be under gunned for this particular neiborhood. Needless to say I didn't go knocking on doors and no Express was procured. I'm pretty sure that if there was one in that building it had been liberated from its rightful owner during a burglary. I don't deal with anyone without feedback on GB.
