Merkel Helix Black Semi-Weight Wood Class 4, Barrel Length 47 cm, Cal. .308 Win.

The Merkel Helix Black in the version with removable sights and muzzle thread M15x1. Translated straight-pull repeater where the linear movement of the chamber handle is transmitted to the bolt head in a ratio of 1:2. It runs smoothly and quietly into the lock in the Merkel system in the specially developed Helix track. The cycling distance is very short due to the translation, allowing for a very quick cycling process. The result is rapid target acquisition and a precise follow-up shot. For cycling in the shooting position, one of the rotating bolt locks has been adapted to linear cycling. The disturbing rotational or tilting movements have been minimized by the revised system. The chamber handle is located directly above the trigger, allowing for intuitive cycling. The proven straight stock in the style of African rifles provides the necessary support for movements. The safety aspect is emphasized in the Helix. In addition to the manual cocking system located on the stock neck, the system is only cocked immediately before the shot by thumb pressure and just as easily released, thus minimizing the risk of an unintended discharge. Additionally, the closed system housing prevents contamination and external influences. The patented firing mechanism of the rifle with the joint-driven striker always delivers maximum ignition energy. Merkel, always a manufacturer that has focused on foreign hunting and practical use, also places value on good transportability of the weapon this time. The rifle is take-down capable and can be disassembled without tools. A barrel change can also be performed without tools. The weapon can be disassembled to a compact size with just a few hand movements. The barrel, bolt head, and system are connected by a coupling mechanism that can be released by a single lever.
