The Helix Wild Boar from MERKEL is the Suhl answer in terms of ergonomics, intuitive handling, manufacturing quality, and precision.

With appealing engraving – a boar entwined with arabesques on a light nitrided system – the hunter stylishly goes on a driven hunt.

With the Bolt-Barrel System, a linear repeating function, and a maximum level of safety, the Helix Wild Boar offers everything that the ambitious hunter expects from a modern hunting weapon.

The Take Down function allows the weapon to be disassembled into "briefcase size" in just a few seconds without tools.

To prevent unintentional discharge and possible ignition energy deficits, the RX Helix is equipped with a patented hammer system. This delivers maximum ignition energy via a joint-driven firing pin. Additionally, the system is cocked by thumb pressure just before the shot. It can be relaxed just as easily.

A true linear repeating system, which has been combined with a rotating head lock, allows the shooter to keep their eye on the target and make a quick follow-up shot.

The Helix/RX Helix from MERKEL come standard with the i-Sight system. This means that the i-Sight front sight can also be repositioned into the rear hole if, for example, an over-barrel silencer is to be mounted on the muzzle thread. Additionally, the rear sight and front sight can also be removed.

Overall, one of the most powerful and safest hunting repeaters of our time.
