So I go to Cabelas yesterday with the wife and daughter. It's about 1.5 hours away and I had always heard it was one of the best Brick and Mortar outfitters around. What a cool place....we pretty much spent 3/4 of the day there.
First on my agenda was to look at those .22 rifles mentioned in a previous thread. After a short wait one of the many sales guys was more than happy to spend time working with my daughter and showing her what they had in their considerable stock. At this point it's between a bolt action Ruger and Savage (stainless/composite). Pretty much leaning towards the Ruger. (The semi auto was a beautiful package as well.)
Anyway, as I was browsing through the "Gun Library" I stumbled upon two rifles that I absolutely fell in love with! (The beauty of this place is you can open the cabinet and get a feel of how these works of art feel in hand.)
First: Merkel K-1 Jagd .30-06 Stalking Rifle

Does anyone have any experience with this manufacturer? Do they shoot as beautifully as they look and feel? I'm thinking I might want one in my future.
