Thanks Mike. A friend is selling this Merkel 303 20 ga. I have handled it and it is a very nice gun, and has the advantage (to me at least) of having a solid rib.
Merkel 303
But both of these guns weigh 6.75lbs, which is close to the same weight as my Beretta S2 and a Merkel 203 12 ga. I owned at one point. For whatever reason, I don't think the Merkels scale down weight-wise as much as other OUs do.

Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.
