It is a fine rifle, but I don't see what makes it worth 15%+ more that the original price of my house.

I'd be worried about getting it dinged up in my gun cart.

Very nice indeed, but for 1/44 the price, this one from Dixie would have to do.

Yeah, and I wouldn't be afraid to shoot the Dixie version.

Something about half magazine lever actions that remind me of one legged saloon girls......something interesting is missing.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I've always thought the half magazine lever guns were the most attractive.

Having attended several disability conferences I was fortunate enough to meet a woman who lost one leg close to the hip, she is as beautiful as any two legged girl I have ever seen.

Full length mag or button both can be equally beautiful.

Merz is consistently above the market.
