Merkel SIDELOCK SIDE-BY-SIDE SHOTGUN 61E
The elegant sister of the 60E is based on the slender 28 calibre receiver. Around the steel receiver, Merkel has constructed a gun that was
originally conceived as Suhl’s answer to the best guns from traditional English manufacturers. Today this shotgun is technically in a unique position and competes, if at all, with the products of small gunsmithing workshops. The 61E combines modern precision engineering with master craftsmanship to achieve a very sophisticated product - which, nevertheless, retains its distinctive Suhl style.
