I posted the picture in the quote above a few years ago. Haven't seen or heard from the Merkel. The picture below is what I got to replace it. It spent a few years with a friend of mine that does some engraving. It is a Ruger Gold Label. I like the way it shoots and handles much better than the Merkel and with the interchangeable choke tubes it will be much more versatile.
