Merkel 303E SLE 12G

Description:
Merkel 303E – Virtually Unused, Straight-Hand Elegance
A superb example of Merkel’s craftsmanship, this virtually unused Model 303E over-and-under 12-gauge features a straight-hand stock with a 14 5/8" length of pull, 1.5" drop at comb, and 2 1/4" drop at heel. Choked Improved Cylinder and Full, it balances perfectly for both driven game and clays. With fine engraving and impeccable fit and finish, it is as much a collector’s piece as a working gun.
A notable piece of history accompanies it – gifted to a South African diplomat during the Apartheid era, this shotgun has seen almost no field use and remains in exceptional condition. s/n 96448
