The Merkel Petite is a compact side-by-side double rifle chambered in 9.3x74R — a traditionally European dangerous-game cartridge that delivers substantial stopping power from a shorter, lighter package than full-length dangerous-game doubles. The 22-inch barrels and reduced proportions make the Petite a nimble rifle for mountain hunts and driven game where a full-size double would be cumbersome. The 9.3x74R's rimmed case feeds with total reliability from the break-action.
