Merkel Helix Black Semi-Weight Wood Class 2, Barrel Length 47 cm, Cal. .30-06 Spr.

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 specially developed Helix track of the Merkel system. The repeating path is very short due to the translation, enabling a very fast repeating process. The result is quick target acquisition and an accurate follow-up shot. For repeating in the shooting position, one of the rotating bolt locks has been adapted to linear repeating. 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 repeating. The proven straight stock in the style of African rifles provides the necessary support for movements. The safety aspect is highly prioritized 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 shot discharge. Additionally, the closed system box prevents contamination and external influences. The patented hammer system of the rifle with the joint-driven firing pin 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 carried out without tools. The weapon can be disassembled to a compact size with just a few manual steps. The barrel, bolt head, and system are connected by a coupling mechanism that can be released by a single lever.
