Merkel B3 Black, cal. 12/76 - 8x57 IRS

The ideal companion for hunting comes from Suhl. With the B3 Black over-and-under shotgun, Merkel combines a puristic appearance with Suhl genes in the form of the hunter's tilting block lock. An elegant black anodized receiver, high-quality walnut wood, and gilded functional elements give the B-Class a truly special appearance. In terms of the system, the Suhl gun manufacturer relies on proven designs in a new look. The barrel is locked with a removable tilting block lock - a brilliant locking principle for break-action firearms developed by the Suhl gunsmith master Franz Jäger. The functional principle of the tilting block: It locks steel on steel in the barrel, operates without torque, and is therefore highly durable. The rifle is remarkably short (about 102 cm with a 60 cm barrel length), lightweight (approximately 3.1 kg), and correspondingly easy to handle. The lower barrel is mechanically adjustable both horizontally and vertically and is free-swinging. This ensures excellent warm shot behavior. The stock shape has been taken from the classic rifles of the B-Class. Equipped with the curved Bavarian cheek piece and pig back, this double-barreled rifle is manufactured from wood class 4. System The proven over-and-under shotgun from Merkel as a safe double-lock hand cocking mechanism - uncocked until just before the shot. The removable hunter's tilting block lock is free of torque and therefore highly durable. Trigger The double trigger with set trigger is elegantly golden titanium-nitrided. Barrel The 60 cm long barrel comes standard with a driven hunting sight. The lower ball barrel is adjustable both horizontally and vertically. Stock The elegant wooden stock features a proven pig back, Bavarian cheek piece, and rubber butt cap. Merkel uses the best walnut woods of a class, here wood classes from level 4. Mounting On the black system box, there is preparation for a Suhl tilt mount.
