The barrels are fitted to a coin finished sideclipped boxlock action which displays scroll engraving surrounding a rhinoceros on the left and a bull cape buffalo on the right. The left side of the action is signed "D.W." for Merkel Master Engraver Dorothee Wage. The rifle features bushed firing pins, double triggers, cocking indicators, and a tang mounted manual safety. The rifle is fitted with a nicely figured and multi-point checkered forend with engraved fittings and a pistol grip stock with black plastic grip cap, raised cheekpiece, rear sling swivel, and Merkel rubber recoil pad. Includes the original factory box. Length of pull 14 1/2 inches. Weight 10 lbs. 14 oz.

Excellent overall, retaining 99% original blue and coin finishes with minor handling evidence, slight stress line at upper tang, and sharp checkering on the stock and forend. Mechanically excellent. The box is very fine with minor storage wear.
