The Merkel RX Helix Alpinist is designed for the long range shooter. The adjustable cheek piece allows for a quick and safe reproducible shooting position. Its synthetic stock allows for durability that can hardly be matched. Furthermore, the stock's soft material provides a firm hold even in cold conditions. The bolt handle is located directly above the trigger for an ease of release. Similar to other Helix models, the Alpinist can be dismantled in 3 easy steps.
