Jeff,
Kebco on Gunbroker has a NIB Merkel 141.1 with provision for scope and mounts for $5000. Another $1000 for mounts, rings and good scope produces a much better DR in my opinion. The new Merkel have muzzle adjustment for regulation. I just regulated my new 30-06 with my handloads and produced a little less than 1" 50 yd 4 shot group (2 L - 2 R).
