Helix Speedster – reinventing the hole stock. The Helix from Merkel has set standards in terms of ergonomics and intuitive handling as a linear repeater with a translated bolt. Now, the Suhl hunting rifle specialist is introducing a stock development that is tailor-made for the Helix system. The new SpeedStock is a plastic (hole stock) construction that takes completely new paths for a hunting rifle. With the open-top OmegaGrip, this stock concept combines two classic stock principles into an ergonomic and fast new development. The OmegaGrip guides the hand and thumb while reloading – like on rails. The SpeedStock is used exclusively for the new Helix Speedster for the first time.

RELAXED SHOOTING POSITION
Like the hole stock, the new SpeedStock allows for a relaxed stance with a steep pistol grip and the trigger finger parallel to the barrel axis – both ensure a reproducible, relaxed stance and optimal precision shot. The good ergonomics of classic hole stock constructions reveal their weaknesses only when reloading: During fast reloading, threading the thumb in and out of the stock hole is cumbersome. This problem is eliminated with the new SpeedStock. The thumb glides along the ergonomic stock shape into shooting position in the OmegaGrip – and back out when reloading. The cocking slider can also be easily operated with the thumb using the open SpeedStock without awkward hand movements – another safety and ergonomic advantage of the innovative stock.

HOLE STOCK WITH HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE CHEEK PIECE
Merkel has further optimized its hole stock development. The automatically height-adjustable cheek piece MemoryCheek-Piece ensures a reproducible cheek weld. A spring storage element with memory function silently and stepwise raises the cheek piece to the pre-set height at the push of a button.

GRIPPY AND INDIVIDUALLY ADJUSTABLE
The stock is made from a high-tech plastic in a two-component process. Grippy, rubberized areas are integrated into the pistol grip, fore-end, and cheek piece. The surface of the SpeedStock is textured for better grip. Additionally, the stock length can be adjusted tool-free and easily to the hunter and their clothing. For this purpose, Merkel offers stock cap carriers in various lengths that can be easily exchanged. The stock is screwed to the system from below via an eccentric-controlled body connector through the pistol grip. This elegant solution ensures that the gripping area is free of screw holes, which can sometimes hinder handling with conventional hole stocks. The pressure button sling swivels used here are also practical: The securely locked rifle sling can be easily detached on the shooting range and just as easily reattached later. The stock geometry with a straight cheek piece at the height of the barrel axis transmits recoil forces linearly to the shoulder; this reduces muzzle jump. The stiffness of the plastic construction determined in laboratory tests, combined with a microcellular damper in the stock cap, absorbs defined recoil forces and facilitates shooting even with strong calibers.

SAFETY OF THE SHOOTER
Safety is the good feeling of being able to pursue hunting carefree – because the rifle itself provides the best conditions for safety. The Helix lock is an evolution of the classic turn bolt lock – no other principle locks repeaters more securely. In the Merkel RX Helix, the turn bolt lock is combined with the Helix principle to create a linear repeater. The lock is encapsulated at the rear for additional safety and against contamination.

UNINTENDED SHOT RELEASE
The manual cocking mechanism of the RX Helix is located on the stock neck. It puts the system under tension only immediately before the shot with thumb pressure – and it can be just as easily relaxed again.

SAFE FUNCTION
Manual cocking systems sometimes suffer from a deficiency in ignition energy. For the RX Helix, a patented hammer system with a joint-driven firing pin has been developed that delivers maximum ignition energy: For a safe shot release.

LINEAR RELOADING
Reloading in the shooting position is the king discipline of the quick follow-up shot. The RX Helix masters this discipline masterfully. The Merkel RX Helix combines the turn bolt lock with true linear reloading in the shooting position – without the slightest disturbing turning or tilting movement as seen in other straight-pull repeaters. The eye remains on target, and the chamber handle is positioned exactly above the trigger. The straight stock in the tradition of Merkel African rifles provides the necessary support for this movement.

TRANSLATED STRAIGHT PULL
The linear movement of the chamber handle is transmitted to the bolt head in a 1:2 ratio. It moves smoothly and quietly into the lock in a special system of the Helix track – and back out again. The reloading path is translated: The fastest reloading is guaranteed. This benefits faster target acquisition and thus the precise follow-up shot.

STAY ON TARGET
The bolt does not move beyond the stock neck towards the shooter's eye when reloading, which can disturb aiming in conventional systems. The movement in the Helix system only occurs within the system housing. The eye remains undisturbed on target. Now for the second shot: Triggered by a finely adjustable direct trigger with a dry characteristic – that is true ergonomics.

TAKE DOWN
The RX Helix is the first rifle developed not only for hunting but also for the journey there. Merkel defines a new quality of take down. The magic word for the tool-free disassembly of a hunting weapon is take down. With the Bolt Barrel System, Merkel has perfected the classic take down and implemented it for the first time in series in this class. This rifle can be disassembled into a size suitable for a briefcase in three simple steps. Even those with little experience can do this in a few seconds – and bring the RX Helix down to transport size.

BOLT BARREL SYSTEM
The revolution in the barrel. The Bolt Barrel System is behind the perfected Merkel take down: Barrel, bolt head, and system are connected by a coupling mechanism that can be released with a single lever – tool-free.

DEFINITELY SAFE
The Bolt Barrel System is ideal for the definitive securing of the rifle. The bolt head is no larger than a walnut and can be stored in a pocket – thus the rifle is safely protected against unauthorized use.

EASY TO CLEAN
Cleaning the barrel and bolt is also made easy thanks to the Bolt Barrel System: Remove the barrel, unscrew the bolt head – all parts are easily accessible and easy to clean.

Mounting
A sight can be easily and cost-effectively attached. The top of the bolt sleeve is designed as a Weaver rail. The sight can be removed and reattached with two hand movements without changing the point of impact. The eye relief can be varied (e.g., winter or summer clothing) by switching to one of the two rear cross studs of the Weaver prism.
