For Sale Merkel 140 9.3x74R

Man, its like trying to sell fish to fishermen.

You will find as you spend time here that this is a very experienced and knowledgable membership. People know the right questions to ask. I don't find that question remotely out of line.
 
For those of you all wondering about the provenance of the rifle, the bill of sale from the German dealer included Mwst, or the 19% sales tax levied on all brand new, never sold goods. While I think the dealer I purchased it from had bought it from another dealer, those of you who are from Europe or have spent time in Germany will recognize the rifle was never in private hands. (The German government taxes used goods differently — Henceforth, I feel very confident asserting the rifle has never been fired outside of the factory.)

A couple more photos of the action are below.

Going to leave this on AH for another week or so, then this will be pushed out to the wider market on GI/GB, etc.

Have had quite a bit of interest, but unfortunately no takers (yet) for this rifle -- listing on GI.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
