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.

Make sure you have a cylinder bore and an improved cylinder for the woodies on the creek. I can't wait to see some scratches and duck blood on that one.

It will earn its scratches. Already got the chokes in place.

I do wish it had double triggers. Should be against the law to make a side by side with a single trigger. I still really like the gun though.

Who engraved your GL?? Factory or custom?

I have one and love it; never could have afforded one but my older brother bought TWO and gave me one for a retirement present! Mine is the pistol-gripped version, which he knows I prefer.

First shot with it took a wild pheasant; not an easy shot, either. Out here in CA I only hunt with it on the flatlands, tho. Chukarland isn't a place for a fine shotgun, IMO--too many chances of denting the barrels on the lava....I carry an Italian 20 ga beater when we go into the rocks.

It was custom engraved. The guy doesn't normally engrave firearms and from what he said about the toughness of the Gold Label steel, I don't think he wants to engrave another. I might see him this weekend and I will see if he is open to the idea.

If the cocking levers extend forward from the frame into the forend iron it may be a simple fix.

Picked up this Spanish SXS 28 Gauge yesterday. Imported by Richland Arms, built by G. Zabalay.

This is my son with his Ruger Red Label 28, he is 21 now and won't leave it with me, so I got my own 28, actually my second 28 because I have a T/C 28 too.

I think I am needing another shorthair.
