The Merkel 147EL is the enhanced version of the standard 47E, featuring EL-grade walnut and more elaborate engraving while retaining the same proven Anson & Deeley action with Kersten cross-bolt. The 28-inch barrels in 12 gauge are the standard. Merkel's attention to woodwork and metal polishing on the 147EL makes it a step above field-grade production guns while remaining mechanically identical to the 47E. Type: Shotgun Action: Break-Action Caliber: 12 Gauge Capacity: 2 Year introduced: 1995, Germany Weight: 72 oz Overall length: 45" Status: Active Intended use: Upland/Collection
