Merkel Helix Black Semi-Weight Wood Class 4, Barrel Length 51 cm, Caliber 6.5 Creedmoor

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, allowing for a very quick repeating process. The result is a fast target acquisition and an accurate follow-up shot. For repeating in the shooting position, the rotating bolt lock 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, making intuitive repeating possible. 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 dirt 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 pays attention to foreign hunting and practical use, also values 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 hand movements. The barrel, bolt head, and system are connected by a coupling mechanism that can be released by a single lever.
