Merkel RX Helix Speedster Black Semi-Weight

Merkel RX Helix Speedster Black Semi-Weight
The linear repeater Merkel RX Helix Speedster Black impresses with short cycling distances, intuitive handling, a revolutionary stock principle, and a very elegant color scheme. The deep black stock is covered with dark gray soft-touch inlays. The compact, front-heavy semi-weight barrel with a length of 51 cm oscillates optimally and looks good even in tight hunting hides. A removable I-Sight sight and a muzzle thread M 15x1 are included!
Merkel RX HELIX Speedster StockThe RX HELIX Speedster with the revolutionary Merkel SpeedStock takes completely new paths for a hunting rifle: The open-top OmegaGrip combines two classic stock principles into an ergonomic new development. For single shots, the ergonomics of the classic hole stock are unmatched, but when reloading, it reveals weaknesses: the thumb's insertion and removal from the stock hole is cumbersome for quick cycling. The Merkel SpeedStock with the open OmegaGrip solves this problem. After cycling, the thumb intuitively glides back along the stock's back into shooting position. The speed stock also scores with grippy soft-touch inlays and the height-adjustable stock back with memory cheek piece function. The stock back can be adjusted at the push of a button – an important advantage for precise shooting with a scope. The recoil-absorbing Speedstock butt plate is available in 3 different sizes. It can be replaced without tools. A cleaning cord from Boresnake is hidden in the pistol grip and is always at hand to clean the barrel and chamber.
Straight-Pull Repeating System with Manual CockingThe HELIX system: Straight-pull repeating system with a 1:2 gear ratio results in an extremely short cycling distance. The straight pull stands for the fastest cycling in the shooting position. It allows for lightning-fast shot sequences while maintaining a relaxed body posture without putting down the weapon. The shooter's eye and the barrel of the weapon remain focused on the target. The time gained in target acquisition leads to a safer shot release. The manual cocking safety system is considered one of the best safety systems. No other mechanical safety can offer the security of a relaxed firing pin spring. The Merkel RX Helix is intentionally cocked just before the shot: the cocking slider is pushed forward. If not shot, a light pressure on the cocking slider is enough to let it slide back and relax the system.
System & AssemblyThe closed system housing prevents contamination from the outside and inside. The 6-lug rotary head lock directly locks in the barrel and stands for maximum precision. The modular system allows for easy caliber changes. Only the barrel and chamber head need to be swapped. The weapon can be disassembled almost tool-free and in seconds, making it easy to transport. The RX Helix is fundamentally equipped with a 3-shot magazine (+1), and a 5-shot magazine is available as an option. The top of the bolt housing is designed as a Weaver rail. All commercially available Weaver mounts can be used for mounting a scope.
Merkel I-Sight Sight and M 15x1 Muzzle ThreadThe RX HELIX Speedster comes standard with the I-Sight system, meaning the sight is not only easily removable but can also be repositioned backward on the barrel, allowing any suppressor, whether on- or over-barrel, to be mounted on the existing M 15x1 muzzle thread.
