Merkel Speedster

The HELIX Speedster, with its new synthetic stock strikes out in a new direction as a hunting rifle. The top-opened OmegaGrip combines two classic stock principles into an ergonomic and fast novelty. Because the good ergonomics during the shot of classic thumbhole stock constructs only reveals its disadvantages when reloading: During fast bolt action, the threading in and out of the thumb into the hole is obstructive. The new SpeedStock of the HELIX Speedster eliminates this problem. The thumb slides as if on rails along the ergonomic stock shape into shooting position on the OmegaGrip as well as out of it when reloading. The automatically adjustable stock comb can be adjusted in its height at the push of a button, an important advantage for shooting with a scope.
