I have a Merkel 140A double in 500NE. Balance is perfect and I can throw it to my shoulder and the sights are in the right place instantly. Regulation is spot on for a variety of loads including 450grain and 570grain jacketed, 600 grain North Forks and 430grain cast. Oddly point of impact is the same for the 450 and 570 grain loads at 50m and 100m using the same rear sight setting of 25m. I use the 75m rear leaf for the 430gn cast loads for point of aim at 50m. The cast loads start crossing over between 50 and 100m.
Mine has ejectors, standard on the 500 but may be an option on the 375. Mine will "double" (ie fire both barrels) if the rear trigger is pulled first - seems to be a common problem on the bigger kickers (500NE and 470NE) but okay if the front trigger is pulled first.
Overall I'm very happy with this rifle and don't intend to ever sell it. They cost about $15k AUD down here but I got mine second hand several years ago for $9k AUD - it had only fired 8 rounds.
