It's a Bernhard Merkel 8x57jr double with ejectors and side clips. A bolted safety and very nice engraving only 7.5lb.I can't wait to take it out for whitetails this fall.

Nice looking gun. The 8 X 57 is very close to a 30-06 and we all know how effective they are on deer. Enjoy your new toy.

Made it to Augusta Georgia yesterday for a meeting, hunt bookings are looking good for 2026 and 2027, had a great time on our Alabama safari shot a rutting deer at 200 yards with 7mm PRC near Huntsville and then headed on to Butler Alabama and semi guided my first deer ever shot a very nice broken off 8 point with hunter there and spend a few days on 1100 acres hunting preserve awesome place!

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
