Thanks, Larry. When I get the gun back from my smith I'll delve into it a little more and supply a few more photos. Handles a lot like that Merkel 200E that "we" owned. Not stocked quite as high as that one, but this one is not at all low-stocked, I see plenty of the rib. The engraving and carving on this one is much nicer and it has a nicely checkered butt. Overall it's thin and fast. Might be too fast for me. smirk
