The 470 has landed!

I measured length of pull to front trigger at 14 3/4" . It is a little longer than the original stock. The comb is a little higher on the fancier stock as well. It makes it very comfortable to shoot with the Kahles reflex sight.

Everything seems right when I shoulder it.

Do you guys prefer a sling on a double rifle ? I have always had a sling on my rifles, haven't tried that on the shoulder hang on to the barrels while hunting. It is very comfortable to hold that way, just not sure I would like it with someone in front of me.

Just returned from the post office, will share a few pics! Wood is nicer than I hoped! Hopefully I can take some pics outside soon.

Merkel 140 AE , 470 Nitro Express. Two sets of wood. Have a bunch of woodleighs and swift a frame to load up . I can see the sights ok, I think I will still plan on setting up a dot/reflex sight.

Hope you enjoy a few pictures
