Merkel 140 vs. Blaser S2

I just put up my Blaser S2 470 NE Left Handed for Sale.
Go take a Look.
 
Another good thing about the Blaser platform is the huge availability of aftermarket parts. Mounts, stocks, you name it.
Good.

I do like my Merkel 140 now that the DD thing got properly modified, instead of just changing parts to new. It is a strong crossbolt build and can be trusted now, without worrying if DD will re-appear and if so,when.

I have posted this video many times,this is a good idea and made me buy the gun with peace of mind. This is my actual 140 in the little embedded video, gunsmith is demonstrating how the left barrel can now not fire without the rear trigger being actually pulled.



Merkel also makes decockers, here is my little SLII and I have no problems flipping my brain into decocker-mode when using it. I like it a lot.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
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!
