Merkel RX Helix Alpinist rifle
The Merkel Helix rifle is made in Germany, with Viking Arms as the sole UK importer. Viking has done a good job promoting these rifles and you see more and more of them in stalkers’ hands these days.
The Helix is a straight-pull, bolt-action rifle system designed from the ground up to provide an ultra-fast, reliable and safe straight back-and-forth bolt movement without the usual up/down/turn bolt system of a traditional Mauser type design.
This is very popular in Europe as running game
