Merkel K5 Arabesque hand-engraved arabesque engraving

Merkel's K5 break-action rifle is a precision tool that redefines minimalism.
It offers outstanding handling, new technical refinements, and excellent functionality. The K5 Arabesque model stands out from other models with its beautiful hand-engraved Arabesque decorations on the silver system. These are framed by a noble sheep wood stock, featuring a slight pig back and Bavarian cheek piece with double fold.

The Lock
The heart of the Merkel K5 is the minimalist tipping block lock. True to Merkel's style, it locks steel on steel and is extremely short in design. It is titanium-nitrided and can be easily removed. This facilitates cleaning, and when traveling, the rifle can be stored particularly safely, separated from the lock.

Trigger and Manual Cocking
The titanium-nitrided direct trigger, with a widened blade, is adjustable for both side and length, allowing it to be perfectly tailored to your shooting hand. It breaks extremely cleanly at a trigger weight of just 600 g. The manual cocking mechanism offers maximum safety when handling the K5. It operates completely silently with minimal effort.

Mounting
To keep the sight line particularly low over the barrel, Merkel uses the Suhl tilt-mount (SAM) for the K5. This is particularly repeatable and extremely shot-proof.

Merkel I-Sight Sighting System and Barrel Thread M 15x1
The K5 break-action rifle comes standard with the I-Sight system, meaning the sight can not only be easily removed but also moved backward on the barrel, allowing any suppressor, whether on-barrel or over-barrel, to be mounted on the existing muzzle thread M 15x1.

Barrels
The wide caliber range of the Merkel K5 break-action rifle is offered in three barrel lengths. The standard calibers are available in barrel lengths of 51 cm and 56 cm. The 51 cm variant is always fluted. Magnum calibers are delivered in a barrel length of 60 cm.

The K5 break-action rifle is a particularly dynamic weapon with a total weight of approximately 2.3 kg and a total length of at least 97 cm. The handling is unparalleled and will delight you not only during stalking. Available optionally in left or right configuration.
