He’s shooting the Merkel Helix Speedster - and he’s loving it. Originally developed for wild boar hunting, the Speedster is now the most popular of all the Merkel range throughout Europe, not just the UK.

Glad you enjoyed it rgds James

In many regions of the world, semi-automatic rifles are banned for hunting. a straight-pull bolt-action rifle is the best alternative. Not to mention the operational safety and the processing quality

I sooooooooo want one, better start saving . .

As a left handed shooters and having tried a blaser..... because of the bolt coming as far back as it does and having to move the head off the stock I opted for a normal bolt action rifle...... would of loved the helix speedster but no lefthanded ones being made. Shame

Hi, just checked and although they don't make a true left handed gun, Left handed shooters often adapt quicker to using a Helix by cocking with the right hand than a conventional bolt action rifle, if you have any further questions do please email [e-mail] Rgds James
