hi guys, im wondering if its worth trying a red dot on my new merkal double in 9.3x74r ? and what people suggest regarding what reddot site to try and how to mount it? i have a merkal DB140 it appears to have the design to mount scope? but i dont want to put a scope on it but thought a red dot...

i suppose no one here is in Australia and has some 9.3x74r brass to sell?

nah that wouldnt be any fun would it ;) sounds way to easy hahah

yes 6inch groups at 50mtr is not ok ahah thus my post here to ask for help to regulate the rifle. i think your right, if its 6insh at 50 it would be 10inch at 100 ahah not ok , ill get there tho n get it better. members have been very helpful with advice thankfully

yeh i saw them ones, cant find them in stock anywhere in Aus yet? any ideas on where i may find some?!

im trying to get my new merkal double rifle (purchased at auction so not directly from factory.) the left barrel is shooting pretty consistently centre groups of an inch or 2 but the right barrel altho still grouping about the same, is consistently about 5 or 6inch to the right of centre. at...

ive used them over 3 hunts since 2022. i found their prices in ZAR relaly good, half the cost of life form. the work was all really good. i had a few of my skulls on the first job from 2022 not come up that good. but since then everything has been perfect. i found margret very good to work with...
