MERKEL Mod. Helix SPEEDSTER

```html
MERKEL Helix Speedster - the hole stock reinvented. The Helix from Merkel has set standards in terms of ergonomics and intuitive handling as a linear repeater with a translated locking mechanism. Now, the Suhl hunting rifle specialist is following up with 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 for the first time exclusively in the new Helix Speedster. 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 an optimal precision shot. The good ergonomics of classic hole stock constructions reveal their weaknesses only during reloading: When quickly 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 while 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 stock back MemoryCheek-Piece ensures a reproducible contact point on the cheek. A spring storage element with memory function silently and steplessly raises the stock back to the preset 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, forend, and stock back. 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 grip area is free of screw holes, which can sometimes hinder handling with conventional hole stocks. The push-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 stock back 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, specifically absorbs recoil forces and facilitates shooting even with strong calibers. Shooter safety The Helix lock is an evolution of the classic turn-head lock - no other principle locks repeaters more securely. In the Merkel RX, the turn-head lock is combined with the Helix principle to create a linear repeater. The lock is encapsulated at the back for additional safety and against contamination. The hand cocking mechanism of the RX.HELIX is located on the stock neck. It puts the system under tension with thumb pressure just before the shot - and it can be just as easily relaxed again. Linear reloading The MERKEL RX combines the turn-head lock with true linear reloading in the stance - without the slightest disturbing turning or tilting movement as seen in other straight-pull repeaters. The eye remains on the 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. Translator Straight-pull lock The linear movement of the chamber handle is transmitted to the lock head in a 1:2 ratio. It moves softly and quietly into the lock in a special Helix track system - and also back out. The reloading path is translated: The fastest reloading is guaranteed. This benefits faster target acquisition and thus the precise follow-up shot. 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 to transport dimensions. Bolt Barrel System The Bolt Barrel System of the RX.HELIX makes disassembling the rifle, barrel, and caliber change incredibly easy: Remove the forend with a push button, flip the barrel lever under the forend, and safely remove the barrel along with the lock head.
