For Sale Merkel 140 9.3x74R

Man, its like trying to sell fish to fishermen.

You will find as you spend time here that this is a very experienced and knowledgable membership. People know the right questions to ask. I don't find that question remotely out of line.
 
For those of you all wondering about the provenance of the rifle, the bill of sale from the German dealer included Mwst, or the 19% sales tax levied on all brand new, never sold goods. While I think the dealer I purchased it from had bought it from another dealer, those of you who are from Europe or have spent time in Germany will recognize the rifle was never in private hands. (The German government taxes used goods differently — Henceforth, I feel very confident asserting the rifle has never been fired outside of the factory.)

A couple more photos of the action are below.

Going to leave this on AH for another week or so, then this will be pushed out to the wider market on GI/GB, etc.

Have had quite a bit of interest, but unfortunately no takers (yet) for this rifle -- listing on GI.

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
