That is definitely the thick end, but yep, £175 to £200 for a standard mint Mercury .177 with a few bits and a box is, imho, where the money should be.

[LESS THAN FORTUITOUS KENNETH]

I've just picked up a Mercury today. It's almost mint. Must have been in someones cupboard and hardly used. Nikko sterling 4x40 silver crown period scope on it. That's almost mint as well. It's all in bits now, just to check the internals are as good as the outside, and yes they are!!! It was chronied at 10.9, so when I've finished tinkering, it should be over 11. Price? Does £80 sound good?

Price? Does £80 sound good?

Well that sounds most fortuitous Kenneth.

The WC indicates a MK3 Merc so has the jaws bolt system like the ''S'' model. The stock and overall look is different on these so I would say get a photo up Steve as I consider these to be the best Merc model apart from the ''S'' and some may not realise what it looks like

I always thought that the only Mercurys with a jaw bolt instead of pin were the "S" versions and the Mercury Challenger? I guess I am not such a know it all after all!

I had one a couple of years ago so know because of this, but also see here;

I bought Eds and a fine rifle it is
Bolted breech is a big improvement and the stock is a nice slim design similar if not identical to the later Challenger model
Mine is a .177 and shoots arround 10 ft lbs. Accuracy is close to FWB 124 at long ranges. Nice rifles.
