Merkel SIDE-BY-SIDE RIFLE 161
This gun is the sidelock version of the 141 side-by-side rifle. It combines the typical characteristics of a timeless sidelock rifle with impressive
elegance and responsiveness. The refined transitions between steel and stock signalise a high proportion of handcraft. Again, short barrels are used, combined with a driven hunt sight and an a prepared base for swing mounts. The horizontal and vertical muzzle adjustment by means of slot wedges is the sort of handcrafted work of art that you can only find at Merkel.
