Hello, new member here with questions about a Merkel 140ae I just purchased with the idea of using it one day in Africa. Going to head to the double rifle forum and see what the experts have to say if I can figure out a way to post without being accused of spamming... lol :)

Thanks Everyone! I really appreciate the warm welcome! I do love Africa and visited Zambia, Zimbabwe and SA in 2014. I met some great people from Joburg while in Asia in 2013 and was invited for their wedding so made the best of it and spent a month there!

The plains south of Kruger still to this day remind me of the Alberta foothills in the fall (with less snow mind you). I am from Okotoks, just south of Calgary, ALberta. Our family has some land in the prairies and base of the Rockies that I hunt, camp and just enjoy. :)

Hi P-J. Welcome to AH from rural Idaho! I'm sure you will love it here. You came to the right place to learn all that you need to ....but I myself am ZERO help where guns and rifles are concerned. I'm sure you'll get the answers you need though. Enjoy the sight!

Just moving to DM. Yes, please ask your friend if he knows somebody who might be willing to support a persistent hunt in the snow.

Hi Paul,
This is Daniel from Mankazana Safaris.

I saw your post regarding a hunt in Africa. I am sure you have been bombarded with messages and replies from other outfitters, so I will keep this one quick.
I have a feeling we have exactly what you need for a first safari.
If you'd like to hear more, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Yours sincerely,

If you ever decide to sell this rifle, I will buy it with the dies, bullet, brass, the works. Dan
