Offered is a New Old Stock Merkel 140A LUX double rifle chambered in the formidable .416 Rigby—a classic dangerous game cartridge and a rare configuration in a Merkel double. This rifle is unfired in its original box, making it a prime opportunity for both collectors and serious hunters.
Built on Merkel’s renowned boxlock action, this rifle features double triggers, auto-safety, cocking indicators, and barrel side-clips for added strength—essential when firing high-pressure dangerous game rounds. The 23.6" barrels are topped with a matted quarter rib, standing express rear sight, folding leaf, and a ramped express front bead, giving it fast target acquisition in dense cover or on a charge.
The coin-finished action is handsomely adorned with relief game scene engraving: a Cape buffalo in full detail on the left, a rhino on the right, and tasteful scrollwork along the bottom with the Merkel logo. The top lever, trigger guard, and forearm latch are also engraved, demonstrating Merkel’s commitment to craftsmanship even in utilitarian components.
The stock is cut from attractive, well-figured walnut, finished with a black polished pistol grip cap, fine checkering, and a Merkel grooved buttplate. Sling swivels are installed at the barrel and stock toe—ready for travel across the African veld or your local range.
The .416 Rigby cartridge offers a perfect blend of power, penetration, and manageable recoil—a favorite among professional hunters for its proven performance across all of Africa’s Big Five.
This is a rare find: a German-made double rifle in a desirable African caliber, unfired, fully engraved, and ready to ship today. Over 2 year wait for new Merkel!
