Description: The Merkel name is synonymous with exceptional firearms, and this offering meets that definition. Engraved African game scenes grace either side of the greyed steel receiver and fine line checkering affords a positive purchase on the highly-figured walnut stock. This rifle is equipped with extractors, not ejectors. There are less expensive double rifles available today, but when you are staring down a charging three ton bull elephant it is comforting to know that the rifle in your hands is the very best that your money can buy.
