Considering mounting a low power variable scope on my Merkel 140E SxS 9.3x74R.
I like the look of the Talley set-up on Searcy double rifles but I don't know if that is possible on the Merkel.
I would like quick detachable mounts if possible .

Any advice is greatly appreciated .

I put a scope on my Merkel 140 with Talley mounts, you need someone who can machine the rib to take the bases.
 
JJ Perdeou at Chaplin firearms in Enid OK. Forgive my miss spellings.
 
Send the rifle to Merkel or ask Merkel for recommendations regarding gunsmith, that‘s the best advise I can give you.
 
As AZ Dave notes, JJ Peodeau does this work all the time and can offer you several options. Milling the rib doesn't always work. Some solder jobs can take the added weight and recoil forces - some can't. He can professionally advise you. And unlike a lot of these guys, he won't bite your head off if you call him.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.

Hi EGS

I read your thread with interest. Would you mind sending me that PDF? May I put it on my website?
