Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Combination Guns and Drillings 'nother Drilling

I've been selling some off this last year, as I can't do much hunting anymore, but this was too good a deal to pass up. It's a bank-vault-solid Merkel 90 12/12/7X65R with a Leupold 3.5-10 in a swing mount. This model has a top tang safety behind the rifle barrel selector, not the Greener side safety or the Mdl 95/96 everything on one big slider assembly that's very awkward.

The gun is experienced, but it has never been abused. It fires very tight groups, according to my good friend, the seller. Being a Panzermerkel, it's strong enough to load to standard 280 Rem speeds. The 7X65R has almost the exact case capacity as the 280, and we use the 280 loading date, usually dialed back 5-10% for lighter framed drillings. Trade-off...it's Heavy.
