Anyone know anything about the Merkel SR1?
« on: July 10, 2008, 02:43:26 PM »
I visited the website, www.merkel-sr1.com and it looks pretty nice. Anyone here shot one? I like my Remington but it's pretty old plus I'm not so poor now. Thanks

Sorry no but I followed the link to have a look and noticed the Battaue Sight set up on that rifle. Battaue is running game.

jneilson: someone just ran either an add on the SR1 or an evaluation (maybe Gun Tests), but it came up good.  The rifles are nice looking, definately european styling and look to handle easily.  Accuracy was pretty good for a factory rifle too.  I think they are a bit pricey but not so much that someone looking for a rifle to last would shy away from. 

I would try some back issues of the Gun Tests magazine to see if they were the ones to evaluate that rifle or search through some of the other magazines to see if they posted the add.  Wish I could help further.  Mikey.

Expensive,but the Sauer S303 is priced around the $2600 mark.

I like the Sauer too. No way I could even convince my wife on that one without paying a very hefty price.
