New Merkel Update

Glad it worked out...
I don't own a double rifle (yet) , but do have some experience with Merkel shotguns. They make fine weapons , and have a huge following. It surprises me that they didn't stumble over themselves to get the issue resolved. In my opinion Merkel wouldn't be in question , but the gun shop ... that would be a sore subject.
 
Well guys. We are now way down the track and my African Cape Buffalo safari is getting closer. My new Chapuis has arrived in Australia and is in customs. I went for the .470 NE and figured when push comes to shove regarding the Black Death , that big is best. Once again when someone tells me how to do it I will post pics of all the doubles in my stable. Thanks to all for the thoughts during the Merkel saga.
 
I'd be so upset, if I got a new gun, only to have it break and not be able to come to Africa with me... :cry:

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
