European Straight Pull Merkel

European Straight Pull Merkel

The Merkel RX Helix employs a multi-lug rotating bolt. It can be disassembled and barrel/caliber switched in less than two minutes without tools!

Another reason is that, while Europeans are eager to embrace new technology, we Americans still prefer traditional Mauser-type bolt action rifles. The irony is that the bolt action was invented in Prussia and perfected in Germany in the form of the `98 Mauser! Here again, cost enters the picture. You can now buy, for example, a brand new Remington 783 centerfire rifle chambered in, say, .300 Win. Magnum, complete with a pre-mounted and bore sighted scope for around $350. Hell, you can’t even buy a scope mount from a German rifle maker for that!
