Merkel K5 Extreme right-hand version, caliber 7x57 R

The new Merkel K5 break-action rifle: Slimmer, more agile, and according to Merkel, a tad more beautiful than its predecessors K3 and K4. Extreme version with a fluted barrel. The Merkel K5 is tuned for dynamic elegance while being 100 percent functional. The newly defined line of the rifle stretches from the buttstock over the extended fore-end made of fine rosewood to the particularly slender receiver and the 17 mm slim and fluted barrel like a big cat in mid-leap. Ingenious technology in a new look-and-feel: The tipping block is extremely short and locks steel on steel in typical Merkel fashion. Technical finesse, a new line of stock, system, and barrel, as well as refined functionality: In total, a rifle with only 2.3 kilograms net weight and in all conceivable dimensions. The removable tipping block lock is the heart of the K5: It locks steel on steel, is extremely lightweight, short, and safe. The titanium-nitrided locking block is removable, making the weapon quickly and easily non-firing. The locking system with removable hunter tipping block lock features a separate manual safety. The new manual safety operates completely silently and is even easier to use - almost no force is required from the finger. The revised trigger system is length and side adjustable. With a trigger weight of only 600 g and a wider trigger blade, the titanium-nitrided fine trigger of the Merkel K5 can be easily operated with any finger and hand shape. The pistol grip, fore-end, and patent catch are elegantly finished with ebony. The buttstock of wood class 4 features removable sling mounts and a Bavarian cheek piece with double fold. The fluted barrel with a diameter of 17 mm has a removable universal sighting system i-Sight with covered M15x1 muzzle thread. With a single internal hex screw, the rear sight and front sight can be disassembled, and the front sight can also be repositioned depending on whether shooting with a silencer, without sights, or with a muzzle brake is intended. The sling mounts are equipped with the new Merkel Speedster system and are therefore also removable. Lady DS stock: Completely new, specially developed stock for smaller or female hunters in various wood classes. The stock is not only shorter but also straight, with little drop and a high comb that extends the sight line nearly horizontally. The stock cap has been adapted to female anatomy: A steep pistol grip allows for relaxed trigger operation even with small hands. By the way, the DS stock has also become very popular among smaller gentlemen since its introduction. Stock length standard: 365 mm and DS stock: 355 mm. Sale without accessories such as mounting, optics, and silencer.
