12ga Merkel 147E 26", 3/4-3/4

If you’re a keen shooter with an appreciation for a beautifully made, easy to shoot firearms, you’re sure to appreciate the work of art that is the ‘Side-By-Side’ shotgun.

While it is easy to get caught up in looks and feel, the ‘Side-By-Side’ is also a very practical firearm. The simplicity of their design makes them lighter in terms of weight and easier to disassemble for maintenance or transport when compared to today’s pump-action or semi-automatic shotguns. Their operation also makes them ideal for the first-time shooter; clearly safe when ‘broken’ open and straightforward to reload. While the versatility of two differently choked barrels speaks for itself.

Whether it’s the intricate detailing in the engraving, the immaculate finish of the woodwork, or it could simply be the amazing balance and feel of these shotguns as they are bought up to the shoulder, there is something tangible and intangible that is special about a 'Side-By-Side'.

Shooting a ‘Side-By-Side’ shotgun is truly an experience every shooter should experience at least once in their life. But why experience it just once, when you could take one home today and enjoy a lifetime of experiences that can be passed down through the generations. How great would it feel to think, that one day, somebody will say “This was your Grandad’s shotgun.”
